Diego Maradona is ''an oracle'' for Argentina, Italy coach Marcello Lippi said Monday.
Lippi said he had sent Maradona a fax wishing him well in his new job as Argentina coach and looked forward to congratulating the ex-Napoli great in person.
''I can just imagine the reaction of the Argentine internationals when they see Maradona walking into the dressing room. He's an oracle for Argentina, the greatest (player) they've ever had''.
