Diego Maradona might have helped take Argentina to the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals, but the country is quite sure that they don't want him as coach anymore. CS gives you more information on the recently fired coach:


u00a0
>>u00a0Maradona earned 91 caps and scored 3>> goals in his international career.

>>u00a0He played in four FIFA World Cup tournaments, including the 1986 World Cup where he captained Argentina and led them to their victory over West Germany in the final, winning the Golden Ball award as the tournament's best player.

>>u00a0He is considered one of the most controversial figures. He was suspended from football for 15 months in 1991 after failing a doping test for cocaine in Italy, and he was sent home from the 1994 World Cup in the USA for testing positive for ephedrine.

>>u00a0After retiring from playing on his 37th birthday in 1997, he gained weight and increasingly suffered ill health, not helped by ongoing cocaine abuse. In 2005 a stomach stapling operation helped control his weight gain. He then became a popular TV host in Argentina.

>>u00a0There is even a church of Maradona where followers often re-enact his 'hand of God' goal that he scored against England in the 1986.
