Maradona open to Dorados stay if requests met

The Argentine legend is in talks to stay on as the manager of the second division club

Diego Maradona says he is open to staying at Dorados as manager if his terms are met.

The Argentine legend took over the club playing in the Ascenso, Mexico's second division, in the fall and twice got the team into the title game. Each time, Dorados fell short to Atletico San Luis, which earned promotion to Liga MX.

While Maradona's contract expires in June of this year, he said he'd be willing to sign a new deal should owner Jorge Alberto Hank give him a war chest and clear out some of the players he no longer wants in the squad.
