Diego Maradona states terms to stay as Argentina boss (26/7/2010)

Diego Maradona Monday expressed his desire to continue as Argentina coach - but only if he could keep his entire backroom staff.

Argentine Football Association president Julio Grondona hopes the 49-year-old will sign a new four-year deal and the pair will meet on Monday.

But Grondona has criticised one of Maradona's assistants, former Argentina defender Oscar Ruggeri.

"I really want to stay, but it depends on Grondona," the Argentina coach added in an interview with El Show del Futbol on America TV.

"I want to continue the adventure but not with [just] anyone. I chose these people. I want to continue working with them.

Argentina crashed out of the 2010 World Cup finals in the last eight as they were thrashed 4-0 by Germany, drawing criticism from some fans.
