Diego Maradona has been appointed technical director of Al-Fujairah, who play in the second tier of the United Arab Emirates league.

On Sunday Al-Fujairah tweeted a picture of Maradona holding the club’s shirt, with the 56-year-old later confirming the news on his Facebook page.

“I want to tell you that I’m the new technical director of Al-Fujairah SC, of the second division of United Arab Emirates,” he wrote. “These are my new colours!”

The former Argentina coach’s last post in management also came in the UAE, with the top-flight side Al Wasl, but he was sacked in July 2012. Maradona guided Argentina to the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
