Fergie: Maradona a great choice

31 July 2008 - 12:42

Sir Alex Ferguson believes that bringing Diego Maradona out of the football wilderness to become the Argentina national coach could prove to be a masterstroke.

  • Chelsea set to sign Crystal Palace star for £47m
  • Man Utd aiming to beat Liverpool to 25yo midfielder
  • "I think he's an inspirational figure to the team and he's bringing in Bilardo as his assistant," said Sir Alex. "There's a combination there – the calming influence and the experience of Bilardo, it will be good for Maradona.



    "If you listen to Tevez, all the players are delighted. Carlos is over the moon that Maradona's become the coach. So it could work."
