Ex- Coach Maradona


Diego Maradona is no longer the coach of Argentina, a news which was very much expected after the German match but somehow it took weeks for the Argentenian Football Association[AFA] to take a concrete step regarding Maradona’s future as the coach. The delay was certain because they did not want to take any hasty decisions and they were careful in their steps because they are dealing with their national hero-Maradona. Though few criticised before the World cup that Maradona won’t be a proper coach for the national side but the whole nation backed him and pined hopes on Maradona,unfortunately the former could not do much against ‘that’ match against Germany,poor Maradona’s face said it all.
Argentina were the first ones who succussfully executed their plans to reach the next level but eventually lost it to one of the best teams Germany. That particular clash not only made Argentina to move away from the tournament but much to their anguish lost it pathetically to Germans 4-0 despite their Group wins. People of Argentina still welcomed their heroes back home after their terrible exit from the world cup and immediately Maradona offered his resigination which was a quite obvious decision to make but the AFA intervend and made Maradona to reconsider his decision. Now AFA had sacked their national coach mercilessly they could have done it before or accepted his resignation quite simply, but why make him wait so long to give a shock like this is what the fans ask the AFA. There have been reports that Maradona did nt accept certain conditions like sacking the support staff;he doesn’t have any power over those issues whatsoever, but AFA could have acted much smartly by letting him go when he first offered his resignation.
