Maradonna Wins First as Head Coach of Argentinas National Team


Diego Maradona won his first game in charge of Argentina in a 1-0 victory away to Scotland. Diego's first game has gone by with little criticism, but I am sure it will just be time before people are targeting him. I have a feeling Media is just waiting for him to mess up.

Personally, I dont think Maradona will last as Argentina's head coach. Of course he will win games, he is head coach of arguably the best team in the world, made up of the top players in the world including Sergio Aguero from Atletico mardid and Lionel Messi of Barcelona. I dont see Maradona having the mentality nor the composure to be a sold coach. His previous coaching assignments ended in disasters, not sure how being at the helm of Argentina is going to be any different. I have a feeling he will be in the headlines more for his antics then his coaching.

Im not sure having an ex-junkie in charge of a National Team is such a good idea. A position like that comes with a lot of pressure, someone with a substance abuse problem may be pushed into re-using.

But then again, this is Diego Maradona here, arguably the greatest player the game has seen, if anyone can pull it off, im sure he can.

What do you think of Maradona as head coach? Leave a comment below and let us know.
