Premiership: I'd boss English team - Maradona

Diego Maradona has revealed he wants to manage a Premiership club.

The former Argentine international, whose playing career was beset by drugs problems, has also told of a liking for the passion in the English game.

And he believes Juan Sebastian Veron's move to Manchester United has made the English game even more attractive.

"I like English football, always have. It's just that people go on about the World Cup in 1986 and then I'm seen as the real bad boy," Maradona said.

"But strange as it may seem, I love watching the English game.

"Who would ever have thought I would consider moving to England?

"I had one offer from a club but not big enough to meet my ambitions. But if the right offer came from England, I would go there."
