In the shanty towns of Buenos Aires they used to call him el pibe, Argentine slang for the little kid. But Diego Armando Maradona, the diminutive Argentine footballer whose ball skills are something you will never forget, became El Maestro with his imminent appointment as manager of the national team. I think the whole Argentina, every country, or maybe people that know about him wanted to see him coach for the national team. Because he still is the greates player ever existed. For you all that dont know him, he almost die in 2004 because he was getting too fat and because of that, he was getting some heart problems, poor Diego, his the best. I admire him very much. Since Maradona is the coach right now, he made some changes in the squad. like the captain, before, it was a defender named Javier Zanetti, he was the captain for many years, and now he gave the responsability to a defense midfielder, Javier Mascherano. He included five local-based players added to the squad on Tuesday. One of them is Juan Sebastian Veron, Maradona recall him to the National Team because Veron was voted Latin American Player of the Year in 2008. And because he had been watching Veron play. Now Argentina faces France on Feb. 11 in Marseille, their second game since Maradona was surprisingly named coach. In his first outing, Argentina beat Scotland 1-0 away in November.
