The former coach César Luis Menotti was discharged today after a 12-day hospitalization due to a “severe anemia” which was aggravated by a thrombophlebitis and surgical intervention.
Menotti passed the operation successfully and will now continue rehabilitating at home.
The former technical director, who guided the Argentine National Team to victory in the FIFA World Cup in 1978, entered the Agote Sanatorium on March 30 in the City of Buenos Aires.
The health of the iconic 85-year-old coach was complicated by thrombophlebitis, which led him to undergo surgery.
Despite having been conscious and placed in a common room during his hospitalization, his physical weakness prolonged his stay in the care center.
This is not the first time Menotti has experienced a health mishap.
In August last year, he suffered internal bleeding as a result of a fall at home, which also required a period of hospitalization before his recovery.
Regarding his current status, close sources report that the current director of the AFA National Teams is in satisfactory condition and will continue his rehabilitation at home.
This process will include sessions with a kinesiologist to address the loss of strength caused by your recent health issue.
Menotti had his last public appearance on March 13 in a radio interview, where he praised the soccer player Ángel Di María, highlighting his contribution to Argentine soccer.
Despite not having a personal relationship with him, “Flaco” expressed great appreciation for the Benfica midfielder and lamented the possibility that his legacy is not properly recognized.
