Diego Maradona said that were he Argentina coach Sergio Batista he would quit following the side's early Copa America exit. The Argentine Football Association says it will keep Batista on as coach despite their quarter-final loss on penalties to Uruguay - he only succeeded Maradona after last summer's World Cup quarters loss to Germany.But Maradona says that decision is wrong-headed."If I had only beaten Costa Rica, (Argentina's sole Copa success) I would have gone of my own accord," Maradona told Tuesday.Maradona and Batista were teammates in the side which won the 1986 World Cup but the two have been at loggerheads since Batista took over after the former was forced out.
