Batistuta offered Adelaide coaching job
Argentine goal-scoring great Gabriel Batistuta has been offered the chance to coach Australian A-League club Adelaide United, a report said Friday.
The 48-year-old, his nation’s all-time leading goalscorer before Lionel Messi overtook him last year, is wanted as a replacement for departing Spaniard Guillermo Amor.
Adelaide chief executive Grant Mayer said capturing Batistuta was a priority given former Barcelona star Amor had decided to leave.
“We’re chasing a suitable replacement after Guillermo Amor has all the respect and goes out on his own terms,” Mayer told the Adelaide Advertiser newspaper.
