It would be "outrageous" if Argentina players picked the team instead of Jorge Sampaoli, according to the ex-star, who has rubbished such reports
Diego Maradona doubts Argentina players are picking the team at the World Cup and not coach Jorge Sampaoli.
It was reported in the wake of Argentina's 3-0 defeat to Croatia that Sampaoli would relinquish his selection responsibilities for the crunch clash against Nigeria, with the players seeking for him to be replaced with general manager Jorge Burruchaga.
The coach had to contend with further doubts about his authority when it was alleged in the Argentine media that a touchline conversation with Lionel Messi during the Nigeria game included him asking the captain if he wanted Sergio Aguero to come on, something the 58-year-old denied.
