Diego Maradona celebrates playoff victory with signature dance moves

Diego Maradona has his club into the semifinals and he is celebrating in the way he knows best -- by dancing!

Maradona's Dorados de Sinaloa have rolled their way into the semifinals of Mexico's second division playoffs, a remarkable run considering the club was flirting with the relegation zone when the Argentina legend took over as manager in September.

Never to shy away from any adulation, the World Cup winner joined his players after their Saturday match in singing chants (praising him, naturally) and busting some moves in the Dorados dressing room.

It's not the first time Maradona has shown his dancing acumen with the squad, as demonstrated when Dorados initially qualified for the playoffs. 

There understandably were skeptics over whether Maradona's hiring was initially some publicity ploy, but no one can argue that Diego's Dorados are playing some fine football.

Let's hope that Maradona has a few more tricks up his dancing sleeves (or pants) should he reach the finals!
