Maradona Sacked
Syndicated on Wed, 28/07.2010By correspondents in Buenos Aires from foxsports.com.au
Diego Maradona has been dumped as Argentina national team coach as the Argentine Football Association begins the search for potential successors.
Doubts had surrounded the 49-year-old's future since a tense meeting with AFA president Julio Grondona earlier this week.
"The president put some salient points to Maradona in their long conversation yesterday,'' an AFA spokesman said.
"And the executive committee unanimously resolved not to renew Maradona's contract as technical director of the national teams.''
As an inexperienced coach, Maradona's record over 18 months was less than stellar and the team only qualified for the World Cup finals by the skin of their teeth.
Although several players had spoken up for him after a run to the quarter-finals of the World Cup, where Germany proved too strong, the AFA decided it was time to give the job to someone else.
