Maradona set to coach Argentina

Argentina legend Diego Maradona is set for a sensational return to football as the coach of his national side.

He will be appointed the new Argentina coach on Tuesday, according to Luis Segura, secretary of the Argentine FA.

The 1986 World Cup-winning skipper has had only two brief spells as a coach in Argentina, but is understood to be the leading candidate for the post.

This should add a little extra excitement to the World Cup... let's just hope Argentina makes it out of the groups this time.

So now when Kun Aguero gets put into the starting lineup there will be cries of nepotism?

If that's all he gets accused of, I'd say he's doing a good job.

More importantly though, will Aquero and Giannina Maradona spawn an uber-skilled soccer baby?
