Editing Terry Butcher (section)

===Scotland national team===
Butcher was named as [[George Burley]]'s assistant in 2008 during Scotland's [[World Cup 2010]] qualifying campaign. Butcher still harboured resentment for Maradona's [[Argentina v England (1986 FIFA World Cup quarter-final)#The "Hand of God"|Hand of God]] goal against England 22 years earlier. So in the days leading up to a friendly against Argentina, managed by Diego Maradona, Butcher's views on Maradona were a talking point in the media. Butcher said in interviews that Maradona was a cheat and a liar, and he would be happy to see him lose. Scotland lost the game 1–0. When Maradona was asked about what Butcher had said about him, he replied "Who is Butcher?"<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/international/butcher-whos-he-asks-maradona-28454947.html |title=Butcher, who's he? asks Maradona |work=Belfast Telegraph |date=20 November 2008 |access-date=17 October 2017}}</ref>

In November 2009 George Burley was sacked as Scotland manager and at the same time Butcher left by mutual consent.
