Maradona set to step down as Argentina boss

DIEGO MARADONA is set to quit as coach of Argentina following their World Cup mauling by Germany in South Africa, according to reports.

Maradona and his squad arrived home on Sunday following their 4-0 drubbing by the impressive Germans. Argentina had been considered one of the favourites for the finals, but they came up short as they were hammered by Joachim Low’s men.

Despite their defeat, Maradona and his men were greeted by cheering fans in Buenos Aries as they played some great football during the tournament. Maradona is an Argentine legend and remains so, with fans calling for him not to resign – but quotes emerging seem to suggest he is set to quit.
