Bilardo had already undergone molecular discard tests during the first days of June and the results were negative. However, due to the outbreak of the pandemic in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Almagro, where the geriatric home is located, where he lives as a result of the treatment he is carrying out due to the neurodegenerative disease that he has suffered for some time, the football exec decided to perform the swab test again.
According to the Argentine media, those close to Bilardo confirmed the positive result of the second examination. However, the 82-year-old ‘Doctor’ has no symptoms, is isolated and in good health with regard to his respiratory symptoms.
Carlos Bilardo, world champion coach with the Argentina National Team in Mexico 1986, where he directed Diego Armando Maradona, was diagnosed three years ago with Hakim-Adams syndrome, also known as normal pressure hydrocephalus or normotensive hydrocephalus. This condition led him to have a series of hospitalizations in recent times.
