Diego Maradona admits he “was wrong” to criticise Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri. “Gonzalo Higuain is my heir.”
The Argentina legend hit the headlines a few weeks ago when he told reporters Sarri was “not the right man” to lead his beloved Partenopei.
The team has won 11 of its last 13 competitive games, scoring 33 goals and conceding only three, playing perhaps the most entertaining football in Serie A and the Europa League.

“I was wrong about Sarri,” confessed Maradona via his lawyers in the Corriere del Mezzogiorno newspaper.
“Higuain is my heir. I am certain that with him Napoli will go far.”
Sarri had shrugged off the criticism at the time, noting Pibe de Oro’s iconic status.
“It’s Maradona. He can do and say anything he wants.”
