A legend as a player, the controversial 53 year-old has a more chequered record in football management



Reports in Argentina claim that Diego Maradona is being considered as a replacement for under-pressure Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas.

The extravagant 53 year-old was last involved in management at UAE side Al-Wasl, but has enjoyed little success in a coaching career in which the highlight was a quarter-final exit from the 2010 World Cup.

Clarín, the largest newspaper in Argentina, claims that Maradona "is one of the candidates" to take over from Andre Villas-Boas at White Hart Lane.

However, the prospect of a shrewd businessman like Daniel Levy plumping for as extreme and divisive a character as 'el Diego' is very unlikely and the former Napoli, Boca Juniors and Barcelona star will be forced to make his money through other ways.

This reportedly includes a $100,000 to unveil the new Iran national team kit ahead of next summer's World Cup.

The only catch? He will also have to wear the shirt when the Iranianstake on his native Argentina in Belo Horizonte on June 21.

Will he bring Ossie as his number 2? Maybe try a 1-9 formation?

It's so crazy it might just work.

Actually, probably not, but for the surreal entertainment alone I'd love to see Maradona take over. We could get relegated and I'd still be grinning.

Win on Sunday and we will be less than 3 points of second place and we have to read this bullshit, AVB out. My god he is doing crap, record points total first season, after loosing his best 3 players in King, Vdv, and Modric, and then loosing Parker most of the season and kaboul though injury the whole season. Second season if we win on Sunday we will be on course to beat our record points total with a 0 net spend and loosing our best player in bale. ok the footballs not be great but that will come we will start playing more attractive footie i am sure.

Diego and Hoddle great ideas for replacements.

 

[Pinto]

Don't understand all this AVB out talk, he is getting the job done but god forbid we don't play pretty football and score 5 goals a game. He can't score the goals himself can he?
