Argentine side Gimnasia LP have confirmed that Napoli icon Diego Maradona is “no longer” their coach.
It had been reported that Maradona would quit Gimnasia if President Gabriel Pellegrino did not stand for re-election, and that has now proven to be the case.
“Maradona is no longer Gimnasia’s coach,” the outgoing patron told Fox Sports Argentina.
“[Reserve-team coach Mariano] Messera will manage the team against Arsenal [Sarandi].”
The 59-year-old was only hired in September and had improved their fortunes, winning three of his last five games in charge.
Despite that, Gimnasia remain in the Superliga relegation zone, three points adrift of safety.

People should watch his documentary, it truly shows you how he is seen as one of the greatest and shows the downfall that led him to do drugs. Very emotional and full of things to learn about the ayer many of us didnt get to witness

Well Maradona thought he could become a good coach just like he was a good player turns out it doesn't work that way,it's a thing to be a player and another to be a good coach....

How can Maradona make a good coach when he was busy depending on energy enhancing drug during his playing days while other players were learning from their coach. I wonder what he will teach his players, how to depend on drug? unfortunately for him, where in era of technology when you can not cheat easily.
