NAPLES, Italy —
Diego Maradona, the Argentine soccer star who is getting in shape for the World Cup, will need new shoes as a result of a successful diet.
Officials of Napoli, Maradona’s Italian club, disclosed today that the forward lost slightly more than 15 pounds in recent months and his feet shrank by half a size.
The new shoes will be supplied by a West German company that signed Maradona to a rich endorsement contract.
