Lesotho Soccer: Maradona Ousted as Argentina’s Coach

Maradona Ousted as Argentina’s Coach
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Diego Maradona  is out as Argentina’s national soccer coach. The Argentine Football Association said Tuesday it would not renew his contract. He spent an erratic 21 months in charge of a national team that was eliminated in the World Cup quarterfinals.

The federation had offered Maradona a four-year contract to continue through the 2014 World Cup. But Maradona said he would stay only if his entire staff remained. That was unacceptable to Julio Grondona, president of the Argentine Football Association. Grondona had asked for several assistants to be replaced. The federation’s executive committee sided with Grondona.
