Al Wasl chairman Marwan bin Bayat has told the club's coach Diego Maradona to stop publicly complaining about a lack of transfer funds and focus on the technical aspects of his job.
Maradona has been public about his frustrations over transfer funds in recent weeks, claiming the situation means he cannot compete with the top clubs.
Al Wasl are currently are out of title contention down in fifth in the UAE Pro-League and bin Bayat told reporters that Maradona needs to re-adjust his focus.
“He hasn't said anything to me directly and we've told him to follow procedures and to put his requirements down on paper for next season and that we will discuss things with him," bin Bayat said according to Sport360.
He added: "We've asked him to focus on the technical aspects of the club rather than the financial issues and it's always a matter of trying to keep Maradona happy.”
Maradona had said earlier this week: "I want to be able to compete, I want to be able to fight for the top spots, and this is basically my right and I still stick by my opinion."
“We talked about some of the challenges facing Al Wasl team, we’re trying to find solutions to benefit the team.”
