Maradona to coach Argentina

Diego Maradona is looking set to take over the vacant role of Argentina's national coach. The 48 year old, considered a legend in his homeland, admitted that talks are still ongoing.

Argentina are now looking to turn to 'the prodigal son' after Alfio Basile quit on October 16th after a terrible start to World Cup qualification.

Argentina lost 1-0 to Chile in Santiago, and that seemingly was the straw that broke the camel's back.

"I don't want to open the champagne before it happens,'' Maradona said in an interview with radio station Mitre.
