The Argentinian football legend Diego Maradona could be on his way back to Europe as Montpellier are interested to sign him as their new coach.

Diego Maradona’s agent in France Youssef Haijoub has revealed that the Argentine could make a move to Montpellier Herault this summer.

Rene Girard the current coach will leave at the end of the 2012-13 season, and  Maradona is a potential replacement.

“There’s a 75-per-cent chance that Maradona will become Montpellier coach,” Haijoub toldInfoSport+.

“Maradona wants to come to Montpellier. I don’t think there will be a problem. There will be sponsors behind the deal and a budget will be in place.

“We will hold talks and there will perhaps be a meeting between Maradona and the Montpellier president. Diego is a warrior and wants to coach again.”

Maradona has been without a club since he left Al Wasl in the summer of 2012.
