The 50-year-old Maradona was manager of the Argentina national side at last year's World Cup in South Africa, but lost his job after they lost 4-0 to Germany in the quarter-finals.
He paid a visit to the Al-Wasl training facility and headquarters on Saturday when club officials said an announcement could be made shortly.
