The ex-Argentina coach has thrown his hat into the ring to
replace Martin O'Neill.
His European spokesman Walter Soriano said: "Diego is very
attracted to English football and the way of life in your country
and I know he would be very willing to move there.
"He loves the English countryside and your respect for privacy,
so he would be very happy there, especially at a big club like
Aston Villa.
"If the owner Randy Lerner wants to make him a serious offer,
I'm sure he'd get a very positive response."
Maradona would have to beat Martin Jol, Sven Goran Eriksson and
caretaker-boss Kevin MacDonald to land the post.
Steve Bruce is also a shock candidate after impressing Lerner
with his work at Sunderland.
