Maradona: “Carlos Tevez should join Inter Milan”
Argentina gaffer believes his striker’s future lies in Italy
Both Jose Mourinho and Diego Maradona were at Old Trafford on Sunday – the former checked out his upcoming Champions League opposition, and the latter wanted to see how well a certain Argentinean striker was warming the bench.
The Special One is said to have enjoyed a victorious glass of wine with Sir Alex after the game, but apparently the red-faced Scot wasn’t the only manager Mourinho worked his charm on.
According to Sky Sports, Maradona believes Carlos Tevez should quit Manchester Utd and head to Inter Milan. This is odd, in light of the fact that Maradona played an important role in bringing Tevez to Manchester in the first place.
For some reason, Maradona is very keen on Inter Milan – in June last year, he tried to persuade Sergio Aguero, the young man putting it to his daughter, to join the Nerazzurri.
Does anyone know the exact nature of Maradona’s link with Inter?

Moratti is obviousaly a very big fan of Maradona and has offered him a job as an ambassador for Inter (this happened back in september) which i assume involves telling the best argentine players that they should play for Inter. Knowing Maradona’s influence and status in Argentina as a god, especially now that hes the national team coach, you can understand what Moratti was trying to do.

Michonskiak, you are spot on about Moratti and his love for Maradona as well as the position at Inter.
Add to the fact that Moratti is fan of anything South American, like Zanetti, Recoba, Adriano, Cruz, Cordoba, Veron, Ruben Sosa to name a few… I remember reading an interview and Moratti mentioning how much hungrier SA players were and that they were the prototypes of Inter Milan football.
