Ambitious Dubai-based Al Wasl FC, who play in the United Arab Emirates Football League, have fired their coach Argentinian Diego Armando Maradona after only a year in charge at the club. In May 2011 Maradona had signed a two year contract with the aim of winning trophies and titles, but it didn't work out."Following a meeting held today to evaluate the technical staff of Al Wasl football team under the leadership of coach Diego Maradona, it was decided to terminate his services and his technical staff," the board said in its official statement.
Al Wasl had finished a disappointing eighth in the 12 team UAE Pro League in the 2011/12 season, down two places from sixth a season earlier; but under Maradona the club didn't progress though getting more coverage due to their high profile coach.
The club management had resigned earlier to the failure and now the new management has fired former World Cup winner as a player Maradona along with his coaching staff to look for a restart under a new coach.
The failure at Al Wasl is another chapter in the coaching career of Maradona. It started at Mandiyu and Racing Club in his home country in 1994 and 1995 before taking over as Argentina coach in 2008 for a couple of years.
