World Cup winner Diego Maradona says he expects to make his debut as Argentina coach in a friendly against Scotland.

 

Maradona's appointment has yet to be officially confirmed by the Argentina Football Association, but that is expected to come on Tuesday.

 

"We're going to play the game against Scotland with the best team we've got," said Maradona, 48, referring to the Scotland friendly on 19 November.

 

"I really never expected this although I always dreamed of having the chance."

 

The 48-year-old has had only two brief spells as a coach in Argentina.

I wonder what kind of welcome he'll get at Hampden?
