Maradona Removed as coach of Argentina
The Argentine Football Association, which hired the former star with the national team in November 2008, said Tuesday that his contract will not be renewed. The decision came 3 1/2 weeks after his team, led by star Lionel Messi, was eliminated from the World Cup with a humiliating 4-0 loss to Germany in the quarter-finals.
nikky, now start loving MESSI..He is cute than maradona..he hehee
bad news i loved maradona
......:(
Argentinians were dumb to make him the coach..
Ah the attitude takes its toll. Wee!
that were no doubt a single sided match... whole team is responsible for that... bring into justice...they all shoud be penalised...
He failed as a coach! The defense in the match against Germany was pathetic.
He was short tempered probably some players also disliked
Poor guy!
Was it overconfidence that caused him to make mistakes in his coaching? The pressure to live up to people's expectations can be quite unbearable.
Hope after this fracas dies down, that people will forgive him and give him another chance. He can do better as a coach, after he's had some down time to think.
Mr.M, i am noone to interfere in ARGENTINA's politics..I've watched/read MARADONA's statement very closely that has come every now and then in the newspapers..
let's hope that next world cup should really see ARGENTINA and BRAZIL in finals which the people were expecting this yr...
Soniya he can hope and pray as much as he could,but the team's dismal performance at the World Cup spoke for itself.
so I'm sorry to see him go.
Yes i heard that as well,Maradona wasn't as good as a coach as he was phenomenal as a player.
Maradona was quite hopeful that the ARGENTINIAN FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION would renew his contract..He even said later that he wish to have team of his own for next world cup..But ALAS!he is OUT now..
Give chance to others......
