Diego Maradona Wants Top Job at Aston Villa
The ousted Argentinian is now looking to replace Martin O’Neill as new boss at Aston Villa and is being very open about his aspirations of nabbing the top job.European spokesman for Maradona Walter Soriano had this to say….
"Diego is very attracted to English football and the way of life in your country and I know he would be very willing to move there.”
He went on to say…
"He loves the English countryside and your respect for privacy, so he would be very happy there, especially at a big club like Aston Villa…
"If the owner Randy Lerner wants to make him a serious offer, I'm sure he'd get a very positive response."
While Maradona has made his intentions very clear, the self confident Argentine should be fully aware that he faces some very stiff competition from the likes of Sven Goran Eriksson, Kevin McDonald and Marin Jol – all of whom are contenders for the coveted position.
It is also reported that Steve Bruce, based on his performace with Sunderland, is considered one of Lerner’s favourites.
