LegendofCoop 17,437 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 If true then a massive boot in the bollocks to the likes of Diego Simone, Miguel Angel Russo and especially Sergio Batista! So many more obvious candidates than a washed up; drugged out, nut-job like Maradona! Can you imagine the first dubious decision against them....he'll be onto the pitch wobbling after the ref with an air-rifle!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWWBK 0 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Like the majority of Argentinians, i really thought Sergio Batista would have got it. Im not too surprised with this appointment, though. Tim Vickery said a few times that Maradona would be interested, and that the AFA would be interested in talking to him.

Still can't understand it. If you thought Vogts for Scotland was bad.....god help Argentina! Julio Grondona and the people behind the scenes must believe he has something (other than being one of, if not the greatest player of all time) going for him in a coaching sense. Boca Juniors basically offered him the chance to manage them when Alfio Basile left to manage Argentina in 2006, and Boca aren't stupid. I don't approve of this appointment as im a big fan of Sergio Batista, but i wouldnt be surprised if he done a fantastic job for them. Hiring a manager with no experience at international level isnt as risky as hiring a manager with no experience at club level, as Klinsmann with Germany and Van Basten with Holland have proved.

As a player - Untouchable! No arguments. As a person - Looney Tunes! The guys off the radar. Maybe a smaller country first to prove himself, but straight into the Argentina job...weird one imo!
