Indian firm Venky's, who bought the Lancashire club earlier this season, axed manager Sam Allardyce on Monday.
Desai (owner): "We thought about Maradona as a coach after we took over.
"Talks were at the initial stage then, but there is no development on that front yet.
"For now, the current coach will be the manager till the end of the season.
"There is no question of signing anyone for such a short time."
