Argentine Legend, Diego Maradona has stated his desire to have another crack at coaching his country’s national team, after Tuesday’s 4-2 defeat in a friendly against Nigeria.
Super Eagles fought back from two goals down in the match staged in Krasnodar, while Jorge Sampaoli’s side was without Lionel Messi for their second of two matches in Russia.
Maradona, a former Argentina captain and manager, published a comparative table on his Instagram account showing that his period as a coach of the team had the highest efficiency among all the managers that led Argentina since the 1970s.
