Al Wasl have concluded a final agreement with the Argentinean football legend Diego Armando Maradona to take over as their coach under a two-year contract .

It was unveiled on Monday

According to the Dubai-based club, all arrangements have been made and Maradona will return soon to start his new mission with the former champions.

The club’s fans—who gathered outside the building urging the management to accelerate the procedures—said they have big hopes that Maradona will take the club to new heights.

Maradon, the former midfielder, who played his club football for Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli, Sevilla and Newell’s Old Boys, had a roller-coaster ride as Argentina coach after he took over the reins from Alfio Basile in November 2008.

Under Maradona, Argentina, the two-time world champions, managed to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa by clinching the fourth and final spot from South America.

His star-studded team did manage to get off to a good start in the tournament, but they collapsed against Germany in the quarter-finals, losing by an embarrassing margin of 4-0.

While Maradona didn’t exactly win praise from the experts for his coaching skills during the World Cup, he did show a great ability to build harmony in a team that had many strong individuals.

Argentina’s was a happy team that was motivated to do well for their iconic coach.

Al Wasl, who are currently in the fourth position at the UFL League, are hoping that the very presence of the legendary footballer on the touchline would inspire their team.
