Maradona from the coaching position

Argentina’s football legend Diego Maradona said that his compatriot Lionel Messi was the world’s best player.


Maradona told Abu Dhabi Television that Messi, the Barcelona striker, still had a lot to offer on the pitch.

Maradona, who coaches the Emirati team al-Wasl, was speaking on his 51st birthday. Referring to himself, he said he had done his best as a player and was now interested in developing himself as a coach.

In May, Maradona signed a two-year contract to coach al-Wasl, which is chaired by Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, brother of Dubai’s ruler.

He called on football fans in the United Arab Emirates, mainly those of al-Wasl, to show up in matches to support their teams.
