Argentina's controversial coach
Summary
7 June 2010
Of the 32 teams competing at the World Cup Argentina might be the most interesting to follow. That's mainly down to the team's coach, Diego Maradona.

Report
The media circus which follows Diego Maradona is never far from a juicy story. This is a man whose trickery on the football field devastated1 opponents. But his playing career was blighted2 by doping bans and the infamous3 'hand of God' goal against England in a World Cup quarter-final.
After he retired4 Maradona suffered from drug addiction5, ill health and weight gain. He became coach of Argentina with virtually no managerial experience. In his 19 months in charge he's tried out more than a hundred different players. An arduous6 qualifying campaign included a 6-1 defeat in Bolivia.
When Argentina beat Uruguay to eventually seal their place in South Africa Maradona let fly a stream of profanities against his critics on live television. He received another ban which meant he couldn't attend the World Cup draw.
Since then he was admitted to hospital after being bitten in the face by his pet dog. On his way to announce his World Cup squad7, the car he was driving ran over a photographer. And he's promised to run naked through the centre of Buenos Aires if Argentina win the World Cup. It might not happen, but following Argentina shouldn't be boring.
