Diego Maradona has returned to take charge of Gimnasia y Esgrima - just two days after quitting the role.

The Napoli legend, who is widely considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, made the announcement on social media.

“I am very happy to say that I am still the technical director of Gimnasia y Esgrima," the 59-year-old said in an Instagram post on Friday.

“I want to thank the fans and the players, because among all of us, we finally achieved political unity at the club.

"I hope they deliver everything they promised me.

"Thank you for your messages, for the support, for yesterday's demonstration in 50-degree heat."
