Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona has become a grandpa.  Media reports say that the current Argentian national side manager’s youngest daughter Giannina gave birth to Benjamin Leonel Aguero Maradona at Madrid’s Monteprincipe hospital on the 19th.

The 48 year old manager stated in an article published by AS that, ‘”I am the most happy that I can be.  I thought that becoming a grandfather would make me old, then I saw ‘Benja’ and an air of youth came over me…it gave me a beautiful new sensation.”

Interestingly enough, the father of the child is Argentinian international and Athletico Madrid star Sergio Kun Agüero.
