Kempes joins Maradona in offering to coach Argentina

Hot on the heels of Diego Maradona, another Arentine World Cup winner has thrown his hat into the ring to become the next national team coach.

Jorge Sampaoli may still be resisting pressure to resign after Argentina’s World Cup debacle and last 16 elimination against France in Russia, but now Mario Kempes has said he wants to take over.

“Of course!” he said when asked by current employers ESPN, for whom he works as a commentator, if he would be interested in the job.
