Rumours had swirled ahead of the announcement that Maradona would not continue as Argentina's coach, a position he has held since November 2008, because of a disagreement with the AFA.
此前就有传闻称因马拉多纳与阿根廷足协意见不一，将不再担任阿根廷国家队主教练。马拉多纳于2008年11月接掌阿根廷国家队帅印。
Maradona told local media on Sunday he wanted to stay on as coach but only if he could keep control over the choice of his assistants.
马拉多纳在上周日接受当地媒体采访时表示，他希望留任，但前提是他有权利挑选助手。
His departure means Argentina need to find a new coach for the Copa America regional tournament next year.
老马的离任意味着阿根廷需为明年的美洲杯赛挑选一位新的主帅。
