Diego Maradona Signs with Belarus Football Team
Diego Maradona is widely believed to be one of the best football players ever. He helped lead Argentina to victory in the 1986 World Cup. But like many former star players of the sport known as soccer in the United States, he has not done as well as a coach.
Last month, the 57-year-old from Argentina stepped down as coach of a football team in the United Arab Emirates. He also coached the Argentina national team from 2008-2010.
Now, the 1986 World Cup champion has moved on to Belarus.
This week, Maradona joined the Dynamo Brest football club in the Belarusian Premier League. However, he serves as the club chairman and not as a coach.
In a statement on their website in May, the club said, "Diego Maradona will supervise areas of the club's strategic development and also cooperate with its structural departments, including the Academy of Dynamo Brest."
Maradona thanked the club in a post on the social media website Instagram. He published a photograph of himself with his new contract, seated on a white leather couch with a Belarusian flag over it.
Dynamo Brest has won the Belarus Cup twice in 2007 and 2017. They also won the country's Super Cup this year. The team placed fourth in last year's national championship.
Soccer observers were surprised by the former soccer great's decision.
Manuel Veth, editor in chief of the Futbolgrad website, expressed his surprise on Twitter.
Others on social media expressed surprise and happiness over the news.
"Maradona is ours!" one user from Brest wrote on Twitter.
"Lost for words," Sergey Erm wrote on Facebook.
As a player, Maradona may be most remembered for his "Hand of God" goal against England at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
He was thrown out of the 1994 World Cup in the United States after failing a drug test. Drug abuse and weight issues have troubled him since his playing days.
Maradona has befriended controversial leaders as well, including Cuba's Fidel Castro and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. In 2017, Maradona met Russian President Vladimir Putin, who he said "can bring peace to many in this world."

马拉多纳签约白俄罗斯俱乐部
人们普遍认为迭戈·马拉多拉（Diego Maradona）是有史以来最优秀的足球运动员之一。他帮助阿根廷队在1986年的世界杯中夺冠。但是与很多前足球明星球员一样，他的教练生涯也不尽如人意。
上个月，这位57岁的阿根廷人辞去阿联酋足球队主教练职务。2008年到2010年，他也曾执教阿根廷国家队。
如今，这位1986年的世界杯冠军移居到了白俄罗斯。
本周，马拉多纳加入了白俄罗斯超级联赛的布雷斯特迪纳摩足球俱乐部。然而，他担任的是不是主教练，而是俱乐部主席。
今年5月份，这家俱乐部在官网发声明称：“马拉多纳将负责俱乐部的战略发展领域，并与布雷斯特迪纳摩学院在内的组织部门合作。”
马拉多拉在社交媒体网站Instagram上发文对该俱乐部表示感谢。他发布了一张坐在白色皮质沙发上签订新合同的照片，沙发上挂着白俄罗斯国旗。
布雷斯特迪纳摩队曾在2007年和2017年两次夺得白俄罗斯杯冠军。他们还赢得了该国今年的“超级杯”冠军。这支球队在去年的国家联赛中排名第四。
足球观察员对这位前足球巨星的决定颇感惊讶。
Futbolgrad网站的主编Manuel Veth在推特上表达了自己的惊讶。
社交媒体上的网友也对该消息表示惊讶和高兴。
一位来自布雷斯特市的用户在推特上表示：“马拉多拉是我们的了！”
Sergey Erm在Facebook网站上写道：”激动到词穷。“
作为球员，马拉多纳让人印象最深刻的可能是1986年世界杯对阵英格兰时的“上帝之手”。
在1994年的美国世界杯上，他因药检不合格被踢出赛场。球员生涯结束后，他一直深受滥用药物和体重问题的困扰。
马拉多纳结交了一些有争议的领袖，包括古巴的菲德尔·卡斯特罗（Fidel Castro）和委内瑞拉的乌戈·查韦斯（Hugo Chavez）。2017年，马拉多纳与俄罗斯总统普京会面，并称普京”可以为这个世界上的很多人带来和平。“
