Diego Maradona has put in a bid to manage Aston Villa, with claims that the Argentinian legend would be happy to move to England if he got the job.
Maradona’s European spokesman Walter Soriano said: “Diego is very attracted to English football and the way of life in your country and I know he would be very willing to move there.
“He loves the English countryside and your respect for privacy, so he would be very happy there, especially at a big club like Aston Villa.
