DIEGO MARADONA rolled back the years as he did his best Jurgen Klinsmann impression by diving belly-first into a puddle in training.

The hilarious moment was captured during a session with his new Mexican club Dorados de Sinaloa, with Maradona at his eccentric best.

The players can be seen gathered in a corner at the start of the video - as Maradona suddenly begins running to the camera.

The Argentina legend gives a shout as he jumps into the air before belly-flopping onto the wet turf - recreating Klinsmann's iconic celebration when he played for Tottenham.

The players can be seen laughing and applauding as Maradona, 57, rolls over in the puddle and gets to his feet.

Maradona has overseen two wins and two defeats in charge of the second division side.

He performed the celebration when Martin Palermo's last-gasp goal against Peru sent Argentina through to the 2010 World Cup.

Dorados de Sinaloa currently sit in ninth place in the Ascenso MX standings - with nine points from as many games.
