Former Argentina forward Carlos Tevez was admitted to a hospital with chest pains, Argentine football club Independiente announced Wednesday.

"Our coach, Carlos Tevez, was admitted to Sanatorio La Trinidad de San Isidro with chest pains. He underwent the corresponding tests and they were satisfactory. Tomorrow he will continue with a series of examinations scheduled in advance within the framework of a general check-up that he usually undergoes," the club wrote on X.

Independiente later added that Tevez will remain hospitalized as a precaution until tests are completed.

Tevez, 40, won English Premier League titles with Manchester City and Manchester United, along with two Italian Serie A titles with Juventus, and the 2008 UEFA Champions League trophy with Man Utd.

He scored 13 goals in 76 international appearances and played in the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cup finals.

Tevez was appointed manager of Independiente in August, after stepping down as manager of Rosario Central in November 2022.
