Buenos Aires-Sana
Diego Maradona has left his post as coach of Argentine Gimnasia E Esgrima, finishing prematurely another coaching job for the former World Cup winner.
"Maradona is no longer Gimnasi's coach," club president Gabriel Pellegrino was quoted as saying on Tuesday.
Maradona, who took over last September, said he would only continue if Pellegrino remained president after the election.
They lost their first three games and, despite winning three of their five games, are still in the relegation zone.
Maradona's swift departure is a hallmark of his coaching career and, of the last six clubs he has led, has only lasted a year with one club.
