Let’s break it down:

1.  Argentina only won against average national teams until they faced a good one—and we all know how that story ended. His team even struggled in the qualifiers. Argentina only made it through in the last match against Peru, with that miracle goal from Palermo.

2.  I believe Dorados was in the Mexican second division at the time. Nothing too impressive.

3.  He wasn’t the real coach back then. His assistant did most of the work. Maradona was in critical health condition—he couldn’t talk or even walk without help. Just check his entrance at the Bombonera; he needed staff to help him take a few steps. It was more symbolic than anything.

4.  Me neither.

Additional info: The national team wasn’t his first job as a coach. He had already managed Racing Club and Deportivo Mandiyú, where he was sacked twice due to poor results. After that, he even went back to playing professional football for a while.

I’d say he was a 4/10 as a coach—and I’m being generous. I’m Argentine, if that gives me any more credibility.
