DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Diego Maradona is in the United Arab Emirates amid reports linking him to a coaching vacancy at domestic club Al Wasl.
The 50-year-old Argentine soccer great, who has been out of coaching since he led Argentina to the 2010 World Cup quarterfinals, visited the club’s training facility Saturday.
Al Wasl is fourth in the domestic league and has been looking for coach since firing Sergio Farias in March. A spokesman for the club said it would have an announcement Sunday but declined to provide details.
A UAE sports newspaper, Sport 360, quoted a club official as saying it was in talks to hire Maradona.
