Sacked Maradona in frame to succeed himself

Diego Maradona, sacked as coach of Argentina only last week, is in the frame to succeed himself, it emerged on Wednesday in the latest twist in the saga involving the footballing icon.

According to Ernesto Cherquis Bialo, Argentina Football Association (AFA) spokesman, Maradona's name is among the list of candidates to fill the vacant coaching position.

"Diego has never gone away and he is still arriving," Bialo told radio station Ten, paraphrasing the lyrics of a famous tango dance.

Bialo said that the identity of the new manager would be revealed in October.

He added: "Nobody's name is forbidden, nor the support for anyone assured."

The possibility of Maradona being reappointed to the job he held for 18 months comes as an unexpected development following his dismissal in the wake of Argentina's 4-0 defeat to Germany in the World Cup quarterfinals.

His sacking prompted a backlash of bitter recriminations from the 1986 World Cup winner, who claimed that he had been "lied" to by AFA president Julio Grondona and "betrayed" by team manager Carlos Bilardo.

He blamed the pair for plotting his downfall, claiming that they had gone back on their word after telling him his job was safe after the Germany rout in South Africa.

"Grondona lied to me. Bilardo betrayed me," Maradona claimed after his colorful and controversial reign as Argentina coach came to an abrupt end.

Bilardo dismissed the accusations.

"I am sure it's not him who is guilty, but his entourage. I defended and I will continue to defend Maradona to the death," said Bilardo last week.

Bilardo was the first to raise the prospect of Maradona's return, saying on Sunday: "Anything can happen."

Argentina captain Javier Mascherano will hold talks about the vacant coach's position with Grondona in Dublin on Monday before the friendly international between Argentina and the Republic of Ireland.
