Diego Maradona is back as Argentina's football coach, ending a two-month suspension imposed by FIFA following a profanity-filled rant after his team qualified for the World Cup against Uruguay.

The Argentine Football Association said in a statement Friday that Maradona will travel Sunday to South Africa to view Argentina's training facilities in Pretoria.

After Argentina's 1-0 win over Uruguay, Maradona attacked critics of his coaching in a tirade aired on television. Argentina faces South Korea, Nigeria and Greece in Group B when the World Cup opens in June.

Maradona has been out of the news since the suspension and was barred by FIFA from attending the World Cup draw in South Africa in December. He also missed a friendly match in December, which Argentina lost 4-2 against an all-star team from Spain's Catalonia region.

Maradona is expected to be back on the bench for Argentina's first friendly of the year, a match scheduled for Jan. 26 at Costa Rica.
