Argentina coach Diego Maradona faces a FIFA rap for his outburst after victory over Uruguay earned them World Cup qualification.

With Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez leading Maradona's attack, Argentina managed a 1-0 win and later Maradona let fly at his detractors.

According to the Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, he is facing disciplinary action from the governing body following his obscene tirade.

"The reports we have received so far leave us no other alternative but to ask the disciplinary committee of Fifa to open a case against the coach Diego Armando Maradona," said Blatter.

Maradona has been the subject of much criticism in Argentina following the team's struggle to qualify for the World Cup. Although victory in Uruguay offered him the final say, Maradona still emerged in a vindictive mood. "You lot take it up the arse – if the ladies will pardon the expression," began his outburst.

The coach went on to dedicate the win to the fans back home, his two daughters, Dalma and Giannina, and his squad, before continuing his rant. "But certain people who have not supported me, and you know who you are, can keep sucking," he said.

Maradona then grabbed his genitals with both hands, signalling some sort of insult to the television cameras in the tunnel outside the dressing room.
