Admittedly, Diego Armando Maradona becoming manager of Mexican Second Division side Dorados de Sinaloa ranks amongst one of the weirdest things to happen to Mexican fútbol in some time. It’s not that Maradona’s previous record as manager is pretty underwhelming, it’s the fact that just a few months ago he was in Russia making a fool of himself during the 2018 World Cup.
As you might expect, the news wasn’t exactly a hit with a lot of Mexico’s major sports networks, who dedicated whole segments to how they disagreed with the appointment.
