Disgruntled hosts of Argentina on Sunday vented their fury at their Copa America quarter-final exit to Uruguay, with some calling for former coach Diego Maradona to return. Maradona was given the boot after the World Cup last summer but Sergio Batista is under pressure after barely half a year in the job after Lionel Messi and company failed to weave their magic on home soil to extend a trophy drought standing at 18 years. Outside the headquarters of the Argentine Football Association in the Ezeiza suburb of Buenos Aires, some fans had stuck placards on walls and lamp posts demanding "come back Diego." Batista insists he will not resign, saying the target was the 2014 World Cup. However, some fans had already been calling for a Maradona return as early as the Group A draw with Colombia.
