Al-Jazeera director Andre Wetzel believes that the appointment of Al-Wasl coach Diego Maradona was a marketing strategy which made no sense football-wise.
The Argentian legend began his stint as Al-Wasl coach with a 4-3 loss to reigning champions Al-Jazeera last Thursday, courtesy of an injury time winner from Brazilian striker Bare.
Maradona caught the attention on the sidelines during that match, arguing with the match officials, screaming out in jubilation when his side equalised and even juggling the ball to entertain the crowd.
Wetzel was understandably upset with the opposition coach, who arrived 20 minutes late for the post-match conference and blamed the organisers for it.
