Having led his country to two World Cup finals, and scored the most famous goal in the history of the competition, Diego Armando Maradona is now the coach of his beloved Argentina.

Nothing short of a legend in his home country, Maradona has had led a turbulent life since retiring as a player, and only dabbled briefly in club management.

Despite a much publicised drink and drugs problem, and a constant media circus buzzing around him, the Argentine Football Federation have entrusted him the job of ensuring qualification for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Maradona's first game in charge was a friendly against Scotland, in November, the team his scored his debut international goal against.

There was a huge media interest, though the game didn't live up to the hype, with the Argentine's winning 1-0.

What was most interesting was that within days of his appointment, Maradon threatened to quit over limits to his control over team matters.

This doesn't augur well for the future, and with Argentina's next qualfiier, not until March - at home to Chile - there is a real possibility that Maradona may implode before then, and with it his side's odds in the outright World Cup betting at PinnacleSports.com.
