BERLIN – Argentinian footballing legend Diego Maradona has hardly been out of the headlines after some eccentric appearances while cheering on his country at the World Cup.

He was at it again on Tuesday as he agreed to take over as chairman at a Belarusian club - showing up for his new role in an armoured car.

Photos and videos posted on social media showed the 57-year-old standing and waving to the crowd as he was driven into the stadium of Dynamo Brest, who play in the Belarusian Premier League.
