Diego Maradona declared his interest in taking the Aston Villa vacant seat, following the resignation of Martin O'Neill last week. "I think Diego would be very open to the idea of coming to England and managing Aston Villa," his official European representative, Walter Soriano, told the Sunday Mercury. "He is very attracted to English football and the way of life in your country and I know he would be very willing to move there. "He loves the English countryside and your respect for privacy, so he would be very happy there, especially at a big club like Aston Villa." Maradona, who has no experience at club level, has been unemployed since leaving Argentina recently.
