Legend­ary footba­ller critic­ises Jorge Sampao­li’s men after 4-2 defeat agains­t Nigeri­aLONDON: Diego Maradona criticised the faltering Argentina team on Wednesday and appealed for another chance at managing the national side. A day after they lost 4-2 to Nigeria in a friendly in Russia, Maradona, who last managed Argentina at the 2010 World Cup, hit out the current set up in a short Instagram message. ?” Maradona wrote. Current Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli has had an inconsistent start to his tenure since taking charge in June, winning four of his first eight games, but only one of four competitive fixtures. The Argentines only qualified for next year’s World Cup finals thanks to a hat-trick from Lionel Messi in their last game against Ecuador.
