Maradona dismisses quit claim

NEW Argentina coach Diego Maradona has dismissed suggestions he will resign if he does not get his choice of assistant.

Maradona, who was installed as coach on November 4, has reportedly been in dispute with Argentinian Football Association boss Julio Grondona, who does not approve of his choice of Oscar Ruggeri.

But the 48-year-old said yesterday: “I have never thought about resigning.”
