BUENOS AIRES: Diego Maradona, unhappy with aspects of his job as Argentina coach, said on Tuesday he would review his position after their final World Cup qualifier away to Uruguay in Montevideo next week.

He said that his appointment a year ago had made him "the happiest guy in the world, but then things happened that I didn't like," Maradona told reporters.

"If I carry on, it will be on my terms," he said after a squad practice, adding he would discuss the job with Argentine Football Association president Julio Grondona.

Local media said he was unhappy that former Argentina coach Carlos Bilardo, now the AFA technical director, had taken decisions without consulting him.

Argentina face Peru on Saturday on Uruguay on Wednesday of next week with their qualification for the 2010 finals hanging in the balance.
