News: Pele moved to a special unit after being admitted to a Sao Paolo hospital

Thee-time World Cup winner Pele, who is in a Sao Paulo hospital for treatment for a urinary tract infection, has been moved to a hospital wing where he won't be besieged by as many visitors, his spokesman said on Thursday.

The Albert Einstein Hospital had issued a short statement saying Pele, 74, had been moved to a special care unit after suffering 'clinical instability'. The hospital did not provide details.

Jose Fornos Rodrigues, the former player's personal aide, said Pele was 'completely fine' and the move was primarily to protect his privacy. 

'He was uncomfortable with so many people coming. It'll be quieter now,' Rodrigues said by telephone.

A hospital spokeswoman declined to elaborate on Pele's condition, but said he was not in intensive care.

Pele was discharged from the same hospital on November 13 after undergoing surgery to remove kidney stones.
