El Diego set for talks with English club
(11-01-2011) Football legend Diego Maradona is set for talks with an unnamed English club about taking over as their manager. The Argentine, who stepped down as boss of his country after the World Cup, has already had discussions with Blackburn and his revelation will increase speculation it is Rovers he plans to see. "In February, I am going to England to listen to a firm offer," Maradona was quoted as saying at a press conference by La Nacion. "If they convince me, I may take it up. I am not desperate, I know that someday I will coach another team." Blackburn, who are under new Indian owners, sacked Sam Allardyce last month and have placed Steve Kean in charge until the end of the season.
