Football legend, Diego Maradona has been discharged from the Olivos Clinic in Argentina, after his successful brain surgery.

The football icon who turned 60 on October 30, had surgery for a blood clot on his brain last week.

Maradona is now under outpatient medical care and will be supervised by a new interdisciplinary team, Leopoldo Luque his doctor said.

Following the success of Maradona’s operation last week, his recovery was complicated by what Luque explained to be withdrawal symptoms from alcohol: “sweating, heart palpitations, and euphoria.”

But on Wednesday doctors at the Olivos clinic cleared Maradona to return home, where he will continue to be treated as an out-patient.
