One of the greatest players to have ever played football has the opportunity of following in the footsteps of two people who well weren't.
Diego Maradona can learn from what Luiz Felipe Scorlari and Raymond Domenech have done before him and that is to get your national team to the world cup final after struggling to qualify for it. Scolari struggled to qualify Brazil of all teams to the world cup in 2001 but when they got there they had the 3 R's up front in Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho and they were unstoppable with Ronaldo ending up top goalscorer.
Raymond Domenech struggled to qualify France to the 2006 world cup. However when France got to the world cup experienced players such as Thuram and Makelele came back into the team and they along with Zinedine Zidane got to the final but eventually lost to Italy on penalties.
Maradona can now follow in these two managers footsteps by choosing the correct players for his 23 man squad and thta should include the Inter Milan trio of Walter Samuel the defender, Esteban Cambiasso the midfielder and Diego Milito the striker. Another important player Maradona should pick is Juan Roman Riquelme of Boca Juniors who played in the last world cup. Picking experienced players like these ones along with young ones such as Messi, Aguero, Higuain, Garay and keeper Sergio Romero, Maradona will definetly have the squad and best player in Messi to win the world cup. Whether Maradona himself is a good enough manager to win the world cup is another question all together.
