The hero of Argentina's 1986 World Cup title announced on Wednesday night plans for his own talk show scheduled to begin airing on Argentine television in the coming months.

"We going to invite Pele and we're looking to have Ronaldo on," he said, referring to the Brazilian soccer luminaries. "I'm going to invite whoever expresses interest in coming on the program. The idea is that the guests come on the show and open themselves up and say whatever they feel."

Other potential guests include players from the Italian national team and Real Madrid defender Roberto Carlos, Maradona said.

Maradona is combining with one of Argentina's leading television producers to put on the show, which will be called "The night of No. 10", a reference to his uniform number he wore while playing.

The 44-year-old Maradona is also considering a return to soccer for the first time since his retirement in 1997.

Argentine club Boca Juniors has offered him a job as talent scout at the team where starred during the 1980s and 90s. But he has yet to publicly comment on whether he intends to accept the offer.
