Maradona says he will quit as Argentina coach if his demands are not met
London:
Football legend Diego Maradona has revealed that he may resign as the Argentina
coach next week unless certain conditions are met. Argentina will play their final
two World Cup qualifiers next week against Peru and Uruguay. But even if Argentina
qualifies for South Africa, Maradona will meet with national football association
president Julio Grondona to discuss matters. "When Grondona called me to his house
and offered me the job, I told him I was the happiest person in the world. But
after that things happened that I didn't like and I will speak about them later,"
the Independent quoted Maradona, as saying. "If I continue it will be under my
conditions. After the qualifiers I will talk to Julio," he added. Although he
did not specify his conditions, but it is said to be regarding team's technical
director Carlos Bilardo. According to sources, the pair didn't go along and barely
spoke to each other, as Maradona was unhappy at the former Argentina coach's interference
in team affairs.
