Maradona To Inaugurate Football School In India

Diego Maradona, the coach of the Argentine national team, will travel to India on Thursday, to inaugurate a football school which will be named after him...

Friendly: Diego Maradona, Scotland - Argentina (PA)

The organization belongs to the Mother Teresa Foundation of Kolkata, and Maradona will visit that city for four days.

Maradona made his official debut as the coach of the Argentine national team in a 1-0 victory over Scotland in Glasgow last month.

Almost immediately after the encounter Maradona took a flight to Madrid to visit his daughter Gianinna, who was in hospital because of problems with her pregnancy. Her partner is Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero.

Last Sunday, Maradona attended Boca Junior's 2-1 victory over Racing Club at La Bombonera. He also witnessed San Lorenzo's 4-1 demolition of Huracan at the same venue on Tuesday.
