Maradona to Interview Fidel Castro on TV

In his new career as a TV showman, former football player Diego Armando Maradona seems to have obtained a great achievement.
He is to interview the Cuban President Fidel Castro on one edition of his weekly show at the Argentine television.

Maradona had lived for four years at a health retreat in Havana, fighting with his cocaine addiction.
The man who was once the captain of Argentina's team (in 1986), leading it to winning the World Cup, is finally back on track. In March this year, he underwent an operation in Colombia to staple his stomach and reduce his weight.
So, Maradona now "[...] looks like a young boy, he is so thin", according to an employee from the health retreat in Havana.

Maradona considers Castro a friend, calling him a father figure who helped him kick drugs. So the interview has all the premises to be a warm and revealing one.

The first guest of the show was Pele, on August 15, opening the "La Noche del 10". The name, "The Night of the Number 10", is a reference to Maradona's shirt number on Argentina's national team.
Pele, who is considered the greatest soccer player of all time, also wore the number 10 shirt.

Maradona is planning to invite other famous people in his show, such as soccer players Zidane and Ronaldo, as well as basketballer Michael Jordan and golfer Tiger Woods.
