The Argentina football coach Diego Maradona will make his managerial debut in a friendly against Scotland in Glasgow on November 19th.
Maradona was confirmed as the new coach earlier this week to replace Alfio Basile, who resigned after a World Cup qualifying defeat to Chile left them trailing group leaders Paraguay.
The Glasgow event is a fitting one for the former Barcelona and Napoli star, who celebrated his 48th birthday on Friday.
It was there almost three decades ago that he scored his first international goal on a balmy June night in 1979, as the South Americans cruised to a 3-1 friendly win.
Maradona has no top level coaching experience, but is thought to have convinced selectors with his pledge to return the national team to the heady highs of when he was its captain.
He says he'll travel to England this weekend to watch the Argentinian stars who play in the Premier League.
