Diego Maradona has accused the Argentine Football Association of "lies and betrayal" after his contract as national coach was not renewed.
Maradona claimed national team manager Carlos Bilardo "worked in the shadows" to oust him after Argentina's quarter-final exit at this summer's World Cup.
He also accused AFA president Julio Grondona of lying about his future.
"They called me to put out a fire and we put it out. I've given everything, everything," he stated.
Maradona's 20-month reign as Argentina manager ended on Tuesday after he rejected demands to change his backroom team, leading to the AFA voting not to renew his contract.
"Grondona lied to me. Bilardo betrayed me," he said 24 hours later. - BBC News
