According to Maradona's European representative (as opposed to his Antarctican representative), the former Argentina manager might have his eyes on the Aston Villa job recently vacated by Martin O'Neill. Though Villa owner Randy Lerner has hinted at caretaker manager and "cool guy" Kevin MacDonald could get a crack at the gig in between jabs at "big, bad Manchester City," Maradona is apparently interested in packing up his watches and moving to England.
"I think Diego would be very open to the idea of coming to England and managing Aston Villa," his official European representative, Walter Soriano, told the Sunday Mercury.
"He is very attracted to English football and the way of life in your country and I know he would be very willing to move there.
"He loves the English countryside and your respect for privacy, so he would be very happy there, especially at a big club like Aston Villa."
