i like maradona as a player. he is the best player the world has seen.He’s not fit to be the coach of Argentina. he picks players for national team as there are no other players in argentina who can play better than the existing players(especially defenders except for zanetti and heinze). there are worldclass defenders like walter samuel, garay and milito even though they are not at their peak form.
Argentina will see many victories in future if maradona spends little time talking and more concentrated on how to select players for the team. Also its high time for maradona to apologise riquelme and bring him back. he also should have an eye on bringing crespo, saviola back. zanetti is more of a suited captain for argentina than mascherano.
