Barcelona midfielder Seydou Keita has slammed Diego Maradona's reign as Argentina coach. The Mali international was well aware of Maradona's comments before Argentina's defeat to Brazil that his Barca teammate Lionel Messi "needs to become a man".

Keita snapped: "The coach does not play the game, Maradona could do well selling newspapers, but perhaps as a coach he's no good because he does not play."
