Maradona quits as coach

Monitoring Desk

BUENOS AIRES: Diego Maradona resigned as coach of United Arab Emirates second division club Al Fujairah on Friday after his team failed to gain promotion, his lawyer Matias Morla announced. Argentine legend Maradona, a former World Cup winner and one of football’s most divisive figures, said he was stepping down after a 1-1 draw against Khorfakkan.

“After today’s match, and having failed to achieve the objective of promotion, Diego Maradona will no longer be the coach of the team,” tweeted Moria. The lawyer insisted that the decision “had been a mutual agreement” with the club and that he wished Al Fujairah “the best”.
