If you didn't already know, Diego Maradona has been appointed the manager of an actual, real life football club and it means only one thing. Entertainment.
Mexican second-tier side Dorados de Sinaloa decided to give the 57-year-old a chance to make an impact at the Banorte Stadium, replacing Francisco Gamez, who was sacked as coach earlier this month.
That means two of the biggest names in world football have either played or managed Dorados.
Maradona has started his managerial reign with relative success, recording a comfortable 2-0 win against Leones Negros on Sunday afternoon.

And after the full-time whistle, the World Cup winner celebrated by dancing with one of his players because y'know, he's Diego Maradona and he does what he wants.
Have you ever seen a manager do this before? No, didn't think so.
Maradona was embroiled in controversy at the World Cup this summer, so it may come as a surprise to some that he has taken steps into management.

The 57-year-old was in attendance for Nigeria vs. Argentina as 'La Albiceleste' secured passage to the next round of the World Cup in dramatic fashion, but footage emerged of him being carried up stairs.
He also gave the middle finger to fans during the tie.
Can Maradona lead Dorados to glory in the coming months?
