Tomorrow the National Soccer Team of Argentina will play its qualifying game with National Team of Scotland. Diego Maradona makes his first debut as Aregentina's soccer coach and has said that he intends to make a big comeback by helping Argentina to get the World Cup in 2010.
Being a great soccer player and a world cup winner of FIFA does not necessarily mean being a great soccer coach. However, it's possible. Here is what EPL Talk has to say.
"Before we get going let me preclude this by stating that in his prime Maradona was one of the best players to have ever played the game. His talents and skills driving the midfield of a powerful Argentina team made them a fearsome force in the sport. In terms of technical skills, he was one of the best. Note, I say one of the best. Many, consider him to be the greatest player to have ever played, and if you consider his own self-proclamations of footballing genius, maybe that is not surprising.
"However, let us get something straight up front. Pele is bar none, the best player to have graced the world’s most popular sport. Pele, not only led his team to an unprecedented three World Cup championships in four tournaments, but off the field, he is a class act, a diplomat for the game, for his country, a true legend. To even try to put the subject of this article on a par with Pele is beyond laughable. Unless that is, you are able to make a case for Pele being an arrogant, cheating, drug-addicted egomaniac oblivious to anything outside of his own pathetic life. I seriously doubt that you can. Wait, did I say that out loud? Guess I’m not caught up in the latest edition of Maradona mania."
Interestingly, according to Setantasports, Argentina coach Diego Maradona has revealed that in some ways he was forced to accept the job as manager of the national side.
