FOOTBALL great Diego Maradona says corruption and match-fixing scandals that have hit Fifa will continue as long as the sport's governing body is run by 'dinosaurs.'
The Argentine is in Dubai to sign a two-year contract to coach the local Dubai Al Wasl club.
Maradona said Fifa had been badly run over the years and attacked Wednesday's re-relection of President Sepp Blatter 'who has never kicked a football.' Maradona, 50, said an ex-footballer should be in charge but did not suggest anyone.
Maradona hasn't coached since leading his country to the World Cup quarterfinals last year. The Dubai club has not provided any details of the contract and Maradona denied reports he is being paid US$10 million
For once, Dego Maradona, a Socialist former footballer of Argentinian descent and lesser intelligence, happens to utter something that is NOT plain laughable and ridiculous.
We can all change.
that cheating SOB should shut his mouth about corruption, we haven’t forgotten the “hand of god” incident.
“that cheating SOB should shut his mouth about corruption, we haven’t forgotten the “hand of god” incident.”
- Good point.
He’s 50 years old and still isn’t honest about it.
What a human wreck.. and he is a Chavez supporter too.
Go directly to free kicks for ten minutes, then start this ridiculous game.
And make it like basketball? Why?
