The Argentine football mourns the loss of another of its references, the former player and former coach Alejandro Sabella, just two weeks after the death of Diego Armando Maradona.

'El Profe' Sabella died on Tuesday at the age of 66, after being hospitalized for thirteen days at the Cardiovascular Institute of Buenos Aires (ICBA).

The former coach of Estudiantes and the Argentine national team had gone through different health problems, including cancer, and six days ago he had a complication with a hospital-acquired virus that left him in the intensive care unit of that clinic in Buenos Aires.

On Wednesday, Alejandro Sabella's wake was held at the sports complex of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), where Javier Mascherano attended. Mascherano had been coached by Pachorra in the national team.

The Jefecito left a heartbreaking image in front of the coffin. In the image shared by the social media of the Argentine football governing body, the former footballer can be seen saying goodbye to Alejandro Sabella.
