Maradona takes charge of Belarus club
Author: Agencies

BREST: Argentina great Diego Maradona took over as chairman of Belarus soccer club Dynamo Brest on Tuesday after signing a three-year contract and said he hoped the country’s strongman President Alexander Lukashenko would become a fan. Maradona has caused a sensation in Belarus by agreeing to take charge of a club that was rescued from bankruptcy two years ago. He plans to move to Brest after parting company with Al-Fujairah FC where he was coach of the United Arab Emirates club. He touched down in Belarus after being a FIFA ambassador at the World Cup in next door Russia, where his matchday antics, including giving an obscene middle-finger gesture to Nigeria fans during one game, raised eyebrows.
