Argentina's 1986 World Cup-winning coach Carlos Bilardo has been admitted to hospital after testing positive for coronavirus but without displaying any symptoms, according to local media reports.
His family said that Bilardo is being treated at the Argentine Diagnostic Institute in the capital. The 82-year-old's health was good, according to his relatives.
Bilardo suffers from a brain disorder and lives in a nursing home where 10 other occupants have tested positive for COVID-19.
He managed Argentina from 1982 to 1990, winning the World Cup in Mexico with Diego Maradona and then guiding the defending champion to the 1990 final in Italy.
Argentina has recorded almost 1,200 deaths and over 55,000 cases of the novel coronavirus.
