DIEGO Maradona has found another job he'd like - coach of Boca Juniors.
Almost five months after being released as Argentina coach, Maradona said he like to lead Boca Juniors, the Buenos Aires club where he became a star. The favourite to take over Boca is Banfield coach Julio Cesar Falcioni, but Maradona seems to be lobbying hard for the job.
Maradona acknowledged that he'd need to mend his relationship with Boca's top player Juan Roman Riquelme. Riquelme played briefly for Maradona on the national team, but then declined to continue - apparently angry that Maradona had criticized his style of play.
"I'd die to lead Boca, but first I should talk with Riquelme," Maradona said. "There are many things I have to talk about with many people." The Boca position became available when Claudio Borghi resigned last month. (ShanghaiDaily.com)
One of the greatest footballers to ever live is still looking for a return to management - and it looks as if the club he ended his career with could be his next port of call.
