Carlos Tevez has been admitted to hospital after suffering from chest pains.
The former Argentina striker, who played for Manchester United, Manchester City and West Ham, was taken to hospital in Buenos Aires on Tuesday.
The 40-year-old is now in charge of Argentinian top-flight side Independiente and the club said on X: “Our coach, Carlos Tevez, entered the La Trinidad Hospital in San Isidro with chest pain.
“They carried out the corresponding studies and they were satisfactory.”
Independiente added Tevez would stay in hospital for the time being while further examinations were conducted.
Tevez won 76 caps for Argentina between 2004 and 2015 and was appointed Independiente boss in August 2023.
He spent seven years in the Premier League between 2006 and 2013, winning the title twice with United and once with City.
Tevez was also a Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup winner at United.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
