Can Diego Maradona Rescue Argentina - Again?
He did it as a player - in fact many attribute Argentina’s last win in the World Cup to Maradona. Without him, they would not have made the finals let alone won. Now, Argentina is in trouble again and it looks like they will be calling on their favorite son to come to the rescue.
Argentina are close to not qualifying for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. They have sacked their coach and called for applications. One of those applications has the name Diego Maradona on it and from all reports, he is almost guaranteed the position.
The feeling is that, while he may not be a skilled coach, he is a great motivator and with the help of assistant coaches, can get their team to lift sufficiently to make it to South Africa. From there of course, anything can happen.
It’s a great plan. Maradona will lift not only the team, but the nation as well. The problem is, first, the nations expectations may be greater than Maradona’s, or the teams, ability. Therein lies the problem. The team is one of the weakest put together by Argentina for many years. Without the talent on the field, even the great Maradona may struggle. You may have another opinion - if so, let me know!
