Dubai, Sept 11(ANI): Legendary footballer Diego Maradona has said he is now focused on achieving something "great" for Al Wasl, the Dubai club which has signed him in as chief coach this season, rather than brooding over another possible chance to coach Argentina.
"I am not looking at that (coaching Argentina), I am looking at doing something great at Al Wasl... I want to work quietly, I want to be far from those ill-tempered people," Maradona said, perhaps referring to Argentine Federation head Julio Grondona.
Maradona also described him as "old" and "corrupt", the Gulf News reports.
"Since I left, I have never seen the Argentina team... And I think I will not see them again," he said.
Maradona was removed from the post of national team manager after Argentina lost 4-0 to Germany in the last World Cup quarter- finals.
Since coming to Al Wasl, Maradona said he has "not missed one minute of training. And that is in 54-degree (129 F) heat. But I'm not complaining, I am happy with the Arab people, with the guys that we have on the staff."(ANI)
