Diego Maradona will stay on as coach of Argentina's national team, which decision is expected to announce next week after meeting with Argentine Football Association president Julio Grondona, the state-run Argentine news agency Telam quotes Grondona as saying.
The newspaper La Nacion says Maradona talked with Grondona on Tuesday and had agreed to a four-year deal that will keep him in charge until the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Maradona has not talked publicly about his plans since Argentina was knocked out in the World Cup quarterfinals by Germany.
