Argentina football legend Diego Maradona has surprisingly been named as manager of United Arab Emirates Division Two side Al Fujairah. The controversial former Los Albiceleste World Cup winner has agreed to join the team for a year, per a tweet from his advisor Rashid Ali Garcia (h/t Richard Forrester of The Sun).
Maradona hasn't taken charge of a team since being sacked by Dubai-based club Al Wasl in July, 2012, per Forrester. The 56-year-old's previous managerial experience also includes a stint in charge of the Argentina national team from 2008-10. He was sacked from the role after the 2010 FIFA Wolrd Cup.
