About 30,000 spectators from Argentina gathered at dawn to welcome their country's legend, Diego Maradona, early in his coaching career with Gimnasia La Plata, last place.
Thousands were present to host the 1986 World Cup champion, before Maradona began his mission Sunday against Racing in the sixth round of the Argentine championship.
"I want to promise you something: as long as I'm the coach of this team, the group will remain a model for everyone," said the 58-year-old in his first words to fans of his new team. We will do our best to win the matches and we will win them. "
Maradona said in his speech: "We are very confident that we will prepare ourselves seriously for Sunday's game and that we will play a game of life and death, and we will all celebrate victory."

Maradona, who had undergone a right knee surgery almost a month ago, was having trouble getting around and even needed a golf cart to get around the field.
On Thursday, Gimnasia hired Maradona, one of the greatest players of all time, to help the team cope with the crisis this season.

Gimnasia was founded in 1887 and has won a title throughout its history, the Centenario Cup in 1993.
Despite all this welcome welcome, the recent experience of Maradona in Mexico with Dorados was not very good, as he failed to lead it into the first division.
