Maradona was released from a private clinic today, after two weeks of treatment for acute hepatitis brought on by alcohol abuse.

Doctors gave the 47-year-old Maradona a stern warning: no more drinking or eating big meals. He was taken to the Buenos Aires clinic March 28 suffering from what his doctor said was too much alcohol, too much food and too many cigars.

Maradona, who has battled weight and drug problems and had gastric bypass surgery in 2005, said he's listening.

"I'm going to follow the instructions of my doctors to the letter," Maradona told Argentine broadcaster TyC Sports. "If I don't do it, the only one who will be hurt is me ... I'm going to complete my treatment."

What comes next for Maradona, who led Argentina to World Cup glory in Mexico in 1986, is unclear.

His personal doctor, Alfredo Cahe, said Maradona is surrounded by a team of doctors, nutritionists and specialists. He also said he hoped to send the soccer legend to Switzerland for follow-up treatment.

Not right away, though.

Maradona said he has a can't-miss date Sunday to see Argentina's biggest soccer match of the season: the annual clash between his former team, Boca Juniors, and its archrival River Plate.
