Diego Maradona has dismissed suggestions he will resign as coach of Argentina if he does not get his choice of assistant. Maradona, who was only installed on 4 November, has reportedly been in dispute with the head of Argentina's FA, Julio Grondona, who does not approve of his choice of Oscar Ruggeri. But the 48-year-old yesterday said: "I have never thought about resigning."
The former Napoli and Barcelona star and his squad are expected to arrive in Scotland on Sunday ahead of next week's friendly at Hampden Park and is keen to have his 1986 World Cup-winning team-mate by his side.
While Maradona continues to negotiate with Grondona over his long-term assistants, Alejandro Mancuso and Miguel Angel Lemme will be beside him for next week's friendly.
