Al-Fujairah FC of the United Arab Emirates second-tier announce today that Argentine legend Diego Maradona has been appointed head coach of the club.
It is the 56-year-old’s first job since he was sacked as manager of UAE side Al Wasl in July 2012.
Al-Fujairah tweeted a picture of Maradona holding the club’s shirt.
“I want to tell you that I am the new coach of Al-Fujairah SC, in the second division of the United Arab Emirates,” Maradona added on his Facebook page.
Maradona helped Argentina win the World Cup as a player in 1986 and managed his country between 2008 and 2010.
The Argentine previously agreed on a big money move to become the new ambassador of the Chinese Super League.
