MARADONA BRANDS NEPHEW 'COWARD' ON LIVE TV

Diego Maradona continued his recent streak of headline-grabbing incidents by going live on a television show to criticise his nephew, Walter Christian Machuca.

The 57-year-old called the Canal9 show 'Confrontados' after Machuca, who is the son of Maradona's sister Rita, spoke about the alleged marriage between his uncle and 29-year-old Rocio Oliva.

Maradona went live on air to hit back at Machuca with a string of comments and defended his relationship with Oliva.
