Manchester United ace Carlos Tevez is feeling better about his future with Argentina after the appointment of Diego Maradona as coach.

Tevez started in Argentina's 1-0 win in Scotland and declared: "A new stage has begun and the team have started in the direction we want to go to make history.

"We only trained on Monday and Tuesday. It's not much, but these days were very useful to raise the mood of the guys. The will to win was back thanks to Diego.

"I am very happy with Diego's debut as coach. He can do very special things for us, and give us confidence."
