Hondurans Turn To Maradona
(Goal.com) - The great Diego Maradona has been invited for talks with the Honduras soccer federation with a view to becoming the national team coach.
The federation are keen on the idea of Maradona leading Honduras into the qualification campaign for the 2010 World Cup.
"We'd like to know his intentions so we can analyse whether we are economically able to contract him," said federation president Rafael Leonardo Callejas.
Argentin legend Maradona said: "Everything is possible if we shoot in the same direction."
The 1986 World Cup winning captain of the Albiceleste added: "I'm sure we could form a good team. I have spoken with many people who say this football team is good."
Now 45, Maradona briefly coached Argentine provincial club Deportivo Mandiyu in 1994, then Racing Club the following year.
The last high-profile coach hired by Honduras was Bora Milutinovic, who resigned in 2004 after less than a year in charge, saying he was tired of criticism of his work and of comments that his wages were too high.
