Former Argentina international Carlos Tevez has been released from hospital after suffering from chest pains.

The 40-year-old Independiente head coach was taken to hospital in Buenos Aires on Tuesday.

Argentinian top-flight side Independiente said Tevez has now been discharged.

"He will return home to rest and return to training [on Thursday]," the club said.

Former Manchester United, Manchester City and West Ham striker Tevez, who won 76 caps for Argentina between 2004 and 2015, took over as Independiente boss in August 2023.

Tevez retired as a player in June 2022, after a third spell with Boca Juniors, and previously had a short stint in charge of Rosario Central.

He made 201 appearances in the Premier League between 2006 and 2013, winning the Premier League title twice with United (2007-08 and 2008-09) and once with City (2011-12).
