Maradona, who is the coach of local club Dorados, was involved in a post—match scuffle with Atletico’s supporters following Sunday’s second leg, according to an ESPNFC report .

A video went viral on social media showing Maradona, who watched the game from the stands due to a suspension, losing his temper after being shouted at as he made his way across the VIP area.

“Come here! I want him to tell me that to my face. I want you to tell me to my face,” Maradona yelled, in quotes reported by ESPN , while being restrained by security staff.

San Luis won the game 4—2 (4—3 on aggregate) to claim Mexico’s second division title.
