Maradona again threatens to quit

Diego Maradona has again threatened to leave Al Wasl after this season, saying he plans to meet with the club’s chief executive next week to demand more money to buy players that would allow the United Arab Emirates club to “compete.”

Maradona took the Al Wasl job in May with a two-year contract. The Argentine great said he has no other offers but felt the club had broken promises to provide him with a half dozen players of his choosing. The club hasn’t won any trophies and is likely to miss an Asian Champions League spot next season.
