Argentina coach Diego Maradona will be thrown out if he tries to attend the World Cup draw in South Africa this week, with FIFA making it clear he was banned.
The foul-mouthed, former great was slapped with a two-month suspension from all football activities last month for his sexually-explicit rant after losing his cool with journalists following Argentina's qualification.
The 49-year-old sporting icon, who skippered the 1986 World Cup-winning team, told journalists to "suck it and keep sucking it".
Virtually all coaches from the 32 qualified teams are expected in Cape Town for this weeks draw and there have been rumours that Maradona may try to be part of Argentina's delegation.
But FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke said he would not be allowed to enter if he turned up.
Maradona's outburst came after Argentina's 1-0 win over Uruguay in October, which allowed the two-time world champions to squeeze narrowly into next year's finals after a low-key and tense qualifying campaign.
