Footballing legend Diego Maradona has resigned from his role as head coach of Argentinian side Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata less than three months after taking the job.
The position with Gimnasia was Maradona’s first managerial spell in Argentina since 2010 when he was in charge of the national side.
The 59-year-old joined the club while they were bottom of the Superliga Argentina table, managing three wins out of eight and taking El Lobo up to 22nd on ten points.
Maradona’s playing pedigree is regarded as one of the best in football history, however his managerial career is yet to measure up to such grandeur.
The legendary playmaker began the coaching side of his career in 1994 and has been at the hilt of six clubs since his managerial debut with Textil Mandiyu.
