Arnhem – The biggest wish Atalay Mutlu (52) from Arnhem came true in 2017 when he was able to experience his idol Diego Maradona up close for twenty days. The football agent was asked to arrange the stay and training internship of the then club of the world star in Mierlo in Brabant. That resulted in a close friendship. Mutlu is devastated by the death of the eccentric Argentinian football player / coach.
