After Sam Allardyce's sacking, rumours were going around Footie Town that Venky's had Diego Maradona lined-up for the Lancashire gig.
Venkys’ chairwoman Anuradha Desai has confirmed that, upon their arrival at Ewood Park, initial contact was made with Diego’s representatives – although talks quickly took a hit.
“We thought about Maradona as a coach after we took over. Talks were at the initial stage then, but there is no development on that front yet.
“For now, the current coach [caretaker Steve Kean] will be the manager till the end of the season. There is no question of signing anyone for such a short time.”
