The Argentinian Football Association will reportedly offer a four-year extended deal to current coach Diego Maradona.
Argentine media are reporting that the Association's president, Julio Grondona, will meet with Maradona next week to go over the contract and hopefully persuade 'el Diez' to guide Argentina to the World Cup finals in neighbouring Brazil in 2014.
Written off by many before the recent tournament in South Africa due to some issues with squad selection and last-minute qualification, Argentina certainly turned a lot of heads and were respected as challengers until they were stunned by the Germans' counter-attacking panache in the quarter-final.
Maradona has been given time now to let the dust settle after that disappointment and decide his future plans.
