Not really of course, but what should one expect:
"You lot take it up the arse," were Diego Maradona's words to the press immediately after his team secured a place at next year's World Cup finals. It was almost adding injury to the insult when he scanned the room and added, "if the ladies will pardon the expression". Looking increasingly Botox-ridden, the angry yet victorious Argentina coach was somehow able to raise a nervous chuckle from those on the receiving end of the abuse.
He wanted to dedicate the triumph to the fans back home and especially those who bothered to cross into Uruguay, to his girls Dalma and Giannina, and to his squad, who worked like never before for the 1–0 result. "But certain people who have not supported me, and you know who you are, can keep sucking," he added.
Grotesque and undignified, Maradona then grabbed his genitals with both hands, signalling some sort of manly insult to the TV cameras in the tunnel outside the dressing room.
FIFA is investigating and Maradona could face a five game ban. Regardless of what one thinks of him as a player, he's clearly out of his depth as a coach and a rather thin-skinned human being. He's 48 years old; perhaps he should consider growing up.
UPDATE:
Wow. Besa tu madre con esta boca, Diegito?
And he still doesn't know when to quit:
