Diego Maradona sacked at UAE’s Fujairah
SC after failing to secure automatic
promotion for the club
Diego Maradona has left his position as coach of Al Fujairah
after they missed out on automatic promotion from the
United Arab Emirates' second division.
The 57-year-old former Argentina international and World
Cup winner had been in charge since May 2017. A 1-1 draw
with Khorfakkan on Friday meant they could not finish higher
than third in the table.
It was Maradona's second managerial spell in the UAE, after
spending a year in charge of Al-Wasl. He also managed the
Argentina national team from 2008 to 2010.
