Hugo Maradona passes away at 52

Diego Maradona's brother Hugo has passed away at the age of 52.

The Argentine icon's younger sibling had a cardiac arrest at his home in Naples.

It comes just a year after the Argentine legend passed away in Argentina last November.

Diego died aged 60 after a string of health problems.

Hugo signed for Napoli - where his brother was a legend - at the age of 18, although he was soon loaned out to Ascoli.

The midfielder also played for Rayo Vallecano and Rapid Vienna in his career.
