The text reports on the situation at Montpellier, where René Girard will no longer be the coach next season. Louis Nicollin, the president of Montpellier, is considering the possibility of bringing in Diego Maradona as the new coach. Nicollin expressed his desire to “piss off PSG” and create a buzz by having Maradona join the team.
Nicollin stated, “To piss off PSG, I want to bring in Diego Maradona. If I have this guy, I don’t do anything anymore, it’s a movie in itself.” He acknowledged the idea of Maradona coaching Montpellier as an attention-grabbing move that would make headlines.
However, Nicollin also admitted that while he thought about it, he doesn’t see Maradona coaching Montpellier due to financial constraints. He mentioned not having the means of the Qataris to bring Maradona to the team.
The text also mentions that Maradona, according to Basile Boli, envisions himself coaching Barcelona next season, adding an element of unpredictability to the football landscape. The idea of Maradona coaching Montpellier is considered a huge surprise and an interesting challenge, considering the legendary status of the Argentine football icon.
