XtraTime Web Desk: Argentine football genius Diego Maradona has pledged to work with all of his “heart and soul” for his new job at Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata after taking over as the club’s head coach.
Former Argentina star Maradona last coached Mexican side Dorados, but left in June due to health reasons.
The 58-year-old former Argentina boss has now stepped back into a coaching role, this time with struggling Superliga team Gimnasia.
Following the announcement, Maradona used his official Instagram account to share his delight at the new post.
“Finally, now it is official. I’m very happy to be the new coach of Gimnasia,” Maradona’s post read.
“I want to thank president Gabriel Pellegrino for this opportunity and I want to tell the fans that I will work with all my soul and heart for El Lobo. A hug and thank you very much!”
