Maradona could replace Hughes as Fulham manager
Reports have emerged that Argentinean legend http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-Maradona-c11160 might be on the verge of replacing Mark Hughes as Fulham manager. Fulham are in dire straits at the moment, having won just one game from their last fourteen. Maradona was present at the Cottagers’
4-1 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City. If reports are to be believed, it seems that the diminutive Argentinean might be taking over the reigns of the club from Mark Hughes in the near future.
Maradona has made no secret of his desire to take up a managerial position in England, stating that he would jump at the oppurtunity to coach a Premier League side. The former Argentina manager said, “Of course I would like to manage in the Premier League.
It has very good teams, an exceptional level and great players. The only problem is all the teams I like in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 have good coaches. If any important job comes along I will accept it.”
Mark Hughes’ position as the Fulham manager is under real threat in the wake of an abysmal run of form for the Cottagers. The side has only managed one win in fourteen attempts in the Barclays Premier League. They have managed to secure a meager 16 points
so far, leaving them floundering in the relegation zone. Many believe that it is only a matter of time before Hughes is sacked.
Maradona served as the manager of the Argentinean national side for the FIFA World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 in the quarter-finals. After his team was eliminated from the competition,
Maradona was replaced by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Batista-c7379. He has since stated he would like to return to a managerial position someday. The Argentinean legend has already been linked with Blackburn following Sam Allardyce’s sacking. However, now that Blackburn’s owners have
promised to stick with Steve Kean until the end of the season, Maradona might just consider taking the Fulham http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
