The message was published by Argentine media, despite being a private message between a group of 1986 world champion players.

The message from the former number 10, began: "Diego Maradona, your captain, speaking."

In the message, the 55-year-old also complained about the fact that his fellow former teammates were not "taken into account" for the Argentina coach position. Maradona coached the 2010 World Cup team in South Africa and made it to the quarterfinals.

Maradona said "every second that passes we are getting older".

In the World Cup 1986, Maradona scored two goals against England in the quarterfinals, one with his hand ("Hand of God") and the other was a memorable individual effort. The match ended 2-1 for Argentina and England went home.

Maradona was also part of the runners-up team at the World Cup 1990 in Italy.
