Argentinian football legend Diego Maradona is said to have died after suffering a heart attack.
South American outlet Clarin say the 60-year-old has passed away in hospital on Wednesday.
Maradona, who has struggled with health problems in recent years, underwent brain surgery last month.
The former Barcelona star was pictured in recent weeks after surgery, reportedly on the mend.
Maradona won the 1986 World Cup with Argentina and is thought of as arguably Argentina’s greatest player.
Flocks of fans turned up at an Argentinian hospital in recent weeks to wish their hero well as he battled to survive the brain surgery.
They turned up with flags and banners, while they chanted his name in support.
Maradona only turned 60 last week, but suffered a torrid birthday as he watched Gimnasia, the Argentinian team he was manager of, but suffering health problems and had to be escorted from the sidelines.
He also shocked fans by appearing at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, being held up by close friends as he watched the event in Moscow.
