Diego Maradona STEPS DOWN AS COACH !

Argentina national team coach and living legend, Diego Maradona, has stepped down following a unanimous vote from the Argentine Football Association.

Initially, Diego Maradona was offered a contract keeping him as boss for the next four years. His conditions for returning included keeping all of his current staff on board, and after being unable to resolve their differences, Diego Maradona left his post as coach.

“There was a big chasm that made it impossible to find an agreement,” AFA spokesman Ernesto Cherquis said. “We will not renew the contract. For the match against Spain, scheduled for September 7, we may already have the new coach.”

A statement on the AFA website added: “The president of the Argentinean Football Association, Mr Julio Grondona, made the members of the executive committee aware of the conversation with Mr Diego Maradona, setting out the points which had come out from the meeting.

“The executive committee unanimously resolved not to renew the contract with Mr Diego Diego Maradona as coach of the Argentina national football team.”

Diego Maradona was absolutely obliterated when his beloved Argentina squad was knocked out of tournament play in the quarterfinals in a 4-0 loss to Germany. In retrospect, it was a stellar performance considering the team struggled to qualify for the tournament
