30/10/2008 16:16
Brazilian soccer legend Pele said yesterday that Diego Maradona, who is
expected to be named as coach of the Argentine team, has no experience but will
be helped by assistant coach Carlos Billardo.
"Diego has the utmost respect for his assistant coach Billardo.Billardo was
the head coach of the World Cup winning Argentinean team in 1986. The experience
of Billardo is what will help the Argentines to victory, not the image of
Maradona," Pele said.
Pele also refuted any ideas of him assuming the role as head coach of the
Brazilian national team. Over the past decade, he hasreceived innumerous
proposals to coach a variety of national teams throughout the globe.
