Diego Maradona was one of the greatest players of all time. He had incredible careers with Napoli and Barcelona and he led Argentina to a World Cup. He also scored the infamous Hand of God goal against England in the World Cup quarterfinal. But his reputation has been tarnished with his suspension from the World Cup in 1994 because of drug abuse. He also is known for his awful temper and his failed managerial career with Argentina in the 2010 World Cup. Diego is looking to rebuild his reputation once more, to become a legend. He sat in his home in Argentina reflecting on his career when the phone rang.

DM-Diego Maradona
MAG-Miguel Angel Gill (Managing Director of At. Madrid)
DM: Hello, who’s calling?
MAG: It’s Miguel Angel Gill, chairman of Atletico Madrid.
DM: Atletico Madrid?
MAG: We’re calling to inform you that Diego Simeone has been fired after being arrested for DUI.
DM: And
MAG: We need someone to lead us to La Liga and Champions league glory. We need you.
24 hours later:
MAG: We called this press conference to announce that Diego Maradona has been hired for the vacant managerial position at Atletico Madrid. (walks away)
From now on, the story will be told in Diego’s POV.
I walked on to the training pitch to take a look at the boys I would be coaching. I have to say I was impressed. There was one particular Colombian striker, Falcao who impressed me greatly. My assistant has told me that he is wanted by many very rich clubs and that he could be the best striker in the world. One attacking midfielder did not impress me. Diego Costa was surplus to requirements and he looks to be the first one I will sell. The tactic I will use is a 4-1-2-1-2, a role that lets my very creative attacking players some freedom to score goals and create opportunities. This and the other tactics will be posted below. I also received the schedule. We will play Union Berlin first. I have only 875 thousand pounds to spend in the transfer market so I will need to sell some players before I make a key signing.
