Maradona sacked by Al-Wasl

[1274003]

Diego Maradona has been sacked as manager of United Arab Emirates club Al-Wasl.
The legendary Argentinian's position had been in doubt since last month when the club's entire board resigned following a trophy-less season.
Maradona was appointed boss in May last year, but after only managing eighth place in the Pro-League in his first season in charge he has been sacked after meeting the new board today.
It was decided to terminate the services of coach Diego Maradona and his technical staff.
Club statement
"Following a meeting held by the board of directors of Al Wasl Football Company held today [Tuesday], to evaluate the technical staff of Al Wasl Football Team under the leadership of coach Diego Maradona, it was decided to terminate the services of coach Diego Maradona and his technical staff," a statement from the club said.
Maradona still had a year to run on his contract with the ambitious Dubai-based club.
The 51-year-old had been brought in to help boost the club's profile, both on and off the pitch, but in addition to a disappointing league campaign they crashed out of the President's Cup and Emirates Cup at the quarter-final stage.

good riddance 2 the almighty crack-head dope ... not his first failure, won't be his last!

in a way its so sad what this guy did with his life ... he had it all as perhaps the best football player that ever lived on this earth ... and yet he threw it all away ... if only he was even 1/10 the coach that he was the player

I have friends working closely with Al Wasl & Al Shabab clubs.

they told me that one of the main arguments in the meeting was He wanted Khalatebri to stay and he doesn't agree with the UAE FA taking politics to sport and he wanted to keep his player plus 2 of the 4 foreigners he has. and he wanted them to get him 2 good local players too.

I respect him for this.

the other thing is that the idiots at Al Wasl will realize what they have done when the stadium is always empty again as 1000s including me went just to see Diego not the stupid team.

Of course Maradona wanted Khalatbari to stay. Diego is not an arab after all.
