Maradona could quit as Argentina coach


Recreational drug fan may not make it to Scotland next week

Diego Maradona

Argentinean legend Diego Maradona has only been in charge of his national side for approximately four-and-a-half minutes, but he is already threatening to walk out. The cheating genius is at loggerheads with Argentinean Football Association president Julio Grondona over his choice of assistant coach: Maradona wants former team mate Oscar Ruggeri, but the president is not his biggest fan. When asked why he held contempt for Ruggeri, Grondona simply said:

“I don’t like his face. It’s a personal thing.”

The English FA probably wouldn’t find this to be an acceptable excuse for not employing someone, but The Spoiler gets the feeling that a football association that gives their most important job to a former drug addict with mental health issues probably runs things a little differently…
