Superstar football agent Mino Raiola tweets from hospital bed after being reported 'dead'

Superstar football agent Mino Raiola has tweeted from his hospital bed as he quashed rumours that he passed away.

Raiola, who represents football superstars such as Paul Pogba and Erling Haaland, had reportedly passed away with a number of news outlets running the story on Thursday afternoon.

But soon after the news became widespread, reports and messages began to circulate that Raiola was not in fact dead and was in hospital.

And the superstar agent used his own Twitter account to quash rumours and said that he was 'pissed off'.

Raiola Tweeted: "Current health status for the ones wondering: pissed off second time in 4 months they kill me. Seem also able to resuscitate."

Reports came out earlier on Thursday from Italy that Raiola had passed away leaving the football world stunned only for the information proving to be inaccurate.

But the agent is reportedly in hospital with close friend Jose Fortes Rodriguez telling Dutch media: : 'He is in a bad position, but he hasn't died.'
