Internet Desk: Argentine legend Diego Maradona’s agent, Sefano Cesi has claimed in an Italian news-paper that the former Napoli icon is in talks with the over a return as a manager.
The 56-year-old spent seven years with Napoli as a player, winning three Serie A titles, UEFA Cup, Coppa Italia and Super-coppa Italiana in that period.
The Argentine is still well-regarded around Naples and it’s understood he could well be on his way back to the San Paolo for a hands-on role.
Ceci believes Maradona would be perfect for the manager’s role, having spent time in charge of the Argentina national side, and he revealed talks have already taken place over a reunion.
“Maradona returning to Napoli? Talks have been opened, but he needs the pitch, to feel the dressing room and be close to the players,” Ceci said.
“He’d be perfect for the role of team manager. Maradona loves Napoli unconditionally and especially the fans.”
