Diego Maradona said it would be an "honour" to coach in Argentina, though the footballing great insisted he has not received or rejected any offers amid links to Gimnasia La Plata.
Superliga Argentina strugglers Gimnasia want Maradona as head coach, with reports claiming contact between the two parties is already official.
Maradona has been out of work since leaving Mexican second-tier side Dorados in June due to health reasons – the 58-year-old undergoing shoulder and knee surgery.
Amid speculation linking him to Gimnasia – who are winless and bottom of the table after five games – former Argentina boss Maradona took to Instagram to address the rumours.
