Argentine soccer was in crisis on Wednesday after national coach Gerardo Martino followed star striker Lionel Messi in quitting weeks before the Olympics - but legend Diego Maradona wants to help fix the mess.
Maradona had a meeting with the Argentine Football Association on Wednesday, a day after Martino resigned. But the former star player left the meeting in anger, saying it was broken up by officials.
"The meeting had to be cut short. No one cuts short my meetings!" the 55-year-old Maradona told reporters. "I came to talk about soccer and the AFA's problems."
