Maradona starts with big victory

-

– Diego Maradona won big in his Mexican coaching debut on Monday, as the Argentine legend’s new club, Dorados, routed fellow second-division side Cafetalero­s 4-1.

Maradona has raised eyebrows with his decision to coach the struggling team from Culiacan, Sinaloa, in the heart of Mexican drug cartel country.

But he was all smiles as Ecuadoran forward Vinicio Angulo – wearing Maradona’s old No 10 shirt – scored a hat trick to give the new coach the win. –
