How the fuck did he take of charge of Argentina in the 2010 World Cup? Where was Bielsa? Or Sampaoli?

you don't know argentineans my rich asian friend

I imagine it went like this
>Argie FA in search for new manager
>media starts creating an uproar' demanding El Diego' because reasons
>Diego announces his interest
>FA gets pressure from every corner of Argentinia to hire Maradona,threats and what not
>They hire Maradona
I haven't read anything about it but I guess it went a bit like this

>How did someone very popular get priority over someone qualified

If Argentina had an actual manager would they have stood a chance to win the world cup that year?
Angel Campbell
Without a doubt
Levi Allen
Maradona is the best player in the history of the world
Why wouldnt we want him as a manager?
Also he lost because Otamendi fell of in the first germany goal and opened the match
but he did a good work
He lost because messi choked and riquelme didnt want to go to the WC
Andrew Hughes
They lost 0-4 to Deutschland. Even with a proper manager they still lost to Deutschland 4 years later, albeit 0-1 in overtime. Granted in the finals, rather than quarter finals, BUT their 2014 run was quite a cake walk.

Hudson Powell
we lost 4 a 0 but 3 goals were in the last 20 minutes
the 2nd goal was a mind breaking for argy players
Diego couldnt do anything there
Aiden Rivera
We had a CB playing as an RB, lel
Zanetti and Cambiasso (both CL winners that year) were left out because why the fuck not
Caleb James
Bielsa was with us, same as Sampaoli.
Anyway, you can't blame them for bringing Maradona back to the NT, but now as a manager. Is like what RM did with Zidane, but this didn't work that well.
Brandon Ramirez
Would have been better for sure, but even then I wouldn't like our chances against Spain or 2010 Netherlands
Jose Adams
Srs question. How much of a national hero is Higuain?
Michael Martin
He is, after macri, the most hated man in Argentina
Aaron Nelson
bielsa had already failed and sampaoli was a nobody.
Jackson Martin
I think it was in a time of disarray, they just wanted to calm the ones claiming for a head from the top dogs. No one would dare to say shit to Diego I reckon.
Henry Fisher
AFA Board meeting excerpt - transcript, circa 2008.
President: We need new manager
Treasurer: Yes but no money
President: Put Diego on conference phone
Maradona: Uuh?
President: Come manage team we give you anti-narcotics seized coke
Maradona: Si
Parker Roberts
it was a marketing success nevertheless
Jason Bell
i have no idea, but it made our >4-0 possible

thank you based Maradona for being completely tactically inept
and thank you based Higuain just for being there
Christian Edwards
>maradona's argentina thrashed by the Mannschaft
sounds like a porno
Brody Kelly
>that Sup Forums archive that went back to 2008 will never come back
>all those threads and shitposting forever lost
Christopher Rogers
Otamendi as a RB was a complete fucking disaster.
CL winners like Cambiasso and Zanetti were not called up and Milito barely played.
Messi's chances of winning the WC have been destroyed by poor management.
Caleb Morgan
>Maradona is the best player in the history of the world
>Why wouldnt we want him as a manager?
>implying those things are actually related
Jonathan Reyes
>How the fuck did he take of charge of Argentina in the 2010 World Cup?
Argentina fell for the "muh D10s and Messias winning the WC together" meme
>Bielsa
Nobody would ever trust him again after the 2002 fiasco
