Diego Maradona (Argentina, November 4 2008 - 27 July 2010)
Infamous for his 'hand of God' goal and cocaine addiction, this was a highly controversial appointment. After a rocky passage to Germany 2012, Maradona used abusive language to members of the press, telling them to "suck it and keep on sucking". After being routed by Germany 4-0 in the World Cup quarter-finals, the AFA decided not to renew his contract. Maradona called it a "betrayal" after being informally promised a new four-year deal.
