Yousuf Al Serkal, chairman of the UAE’s Football Association interim committee, was quoted Monday in the local media as saying the Argentine great is on a short list that contains at least three names.
A decision is expected before the UAE’s league season wraps up in May.
Last month, Maradona said would accept the job “with pleasure.” He has coached Dubai-based Al Wasl since last year.
The UAE has had a caretaker coach since Srecko Katanec of Slovenia was fired after a 3-1 loss to Lebanon in September.
