Eight fantastic footballers who were not very good managers including Maradona, Adams and Gascoigne

talkSPORT is looking at some of the game’s best players, who have struggled in management. The focus is on the men whose skill on the pitch differs hugely to their prowess on the touchline, beginning with Maradona. He is one of the game's greatest ever players and won the biggest team honour when he lifted the World Cup in 1986. He also drove Napoli to their only two Serie A titles and scored some of the greatest goals. His job as a manager, however, is on the opposite end of the spectrum. He got the Argentina job in 2008 and scraped into the 2010 World Cup with the final qualifying place, losing 6-1 to Bolivia on the way.
