This is following the Argentina legend’s failure to control his emotions during their 2-1 win over Nigeria in the World Cup last Group D game on Tuesday this week.

The football icon celebrated Marcos Rojo’s winning goal for Argentina by raising his middle finger at the Nigerian fans. FIFA termed his behavior as embarrassing and provocative hence he will no longer receive the £10,000 he was receiving from the world soccer governing body.

Diego Maradona as one of the soccer legends is expected to display a code of ethics in the world of football as a good example to the upcoming young players.

Maradona also ignored doctors' advise not to watch the final minutes of the clash thereby putting his health in more danger. FIFA has also warned him, further directing him to exhibit a good conduct in the remaining games.

A possible stadium ban is awaiting the former Napoli forward if he acts, in the same manner, he did against Nigeria then more action will be taken against him.
