I think that is why kattuviriyan added the screenshot: I get the same as you, it's probably a country-based feature (or what DuckDuckGo calls bubbling).
I get "Diego Maradona" as the 2nd result (the HN thread is the 1st one :) . I'm in Uruguay (South America) where the FIFA news are huge, and logged into my Google account, so that must be it. Interesting to see the "bubble effect".
I opened on an incognito window and it gives me answers similar to the ones posted above.
Edit2: for the curious, the link it gives me is
"Diego Maradona would like to be the next president of FIFA"
