On July 3rd, Maradona stopped being Argentina’s Technical Director—a position he held since October 2008— after the Argentina was defeated by Germany in the South Africa World Cup quarter-finals (4-0).

“It’s the saddest birthday of my life. I imagined the selection diver. Having run out of chances hurts me a lot … The best gift would have been the team,” confessed Maradona during an interview Saturday the sports daily Olé.

“I know I will return to the selection one day, this is my destiny. I’m waiting,” he said on Sky Sports News on Friday.
