SHAH ALAM - K. Devan secara persetujuan bersama dengan Persatuan Bola Sepak Selangor (FAS) meletakkan jawatan sebagai ketua jurulatih pasukan Merah Kuning berkuatkuasa semalam, ketika anak buahnya masih 'tersepit' untuk ke suku akhir Piala Malaysia dengan baki dua perlawanan Kumpulan D.

Devan membuat keputusan melepaskan jawatan yang disandangnya sejak 2009, selepas mengadakan perbincangan dengan pengurusan FAS kelmarin, sekali gus menamatkan kontraknya lebih awal daripada yang dijadualkan berakhir pada 30 November ini.

Kedudukan Devan, yang membantu Selangor menjuarai Liga Super dan Piala FA 2009 dan Liga Super 2010, diambilalih penolong jurulatih, P. Maniam sementara Rosedy Nadzir dinaikkan pangkat membantunya dan jurulatih penjaga gol, Azmin Azram Aziz dikekalkan.
Setiausaha Agung FAS, Datuk Hamidin Amin berkata, pihaknya sedih dengan keputusan Devan.

Katanya, FAS masih cuba memujuk Devan supaya menarik balik keputusannya tetapi terpaksa akur demi kebaikannya dan pasukan selepas mesyuarat khas pengurusan persatuan dipengerusikan Timbalan Presiden, Datuk Mokhtar Ahmad, kelmarin.
"Beliau meluahkan hasrat untuk berundur selepas Selangor kalah 1-2 dengan T-Team, Sabtu lalu dan saya kira bukan rezekinya (sebagai ketua jurulatih) untuk meraih sebarang piala musim ini.

"Kami bagaimanapun 'berpisah' cara baik dan memutuskan untuk menggantikannya dengan Maniam.
"Maniam merupakan bekas pemain Selangor dan Malaysia, malah sudah lapan tahun menjadi jurulatih belia negeri yang memenangi Piala Belia 2006, Piala Presiden 2008 dan pingat perak Sukan Malaysia di Melaka 2010," katanya dalam sidang akhbar khas di Padang Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri di sini, semalam.

Sementara itu, Maniam berkata, beliau akan mencuba yang terbaik mengemudikan Selangor dan memulihkan maruah pasukan yang tercalar khususnya untuk memenangi baki perlawanan Kumpulan D dengan PDRM di Paroi, Sabtu ini dan Kuala Lumpur di Shah Alam.

"Devan macam abang dan sifu (guru) saya. Saya banyak belajar daripadanya tetapi lain jurulatih, lain gayanya. Kita tengoklah bagaimana keputusan perlawanan nanti," katanya yang pernah memangku tugas itu ketika Devan dikenakan tindakan tatatertib oleh FAM dan dilarang berada di bangku pasukan.

Ketua pasukan, Mohd. Amri Yahyah berkata, pemain dukacita dengan pengunduran Devan dan terkejut kerana ia berlaku secara tiba-tiba, tetapi bertekad memberikan komitmen tinggi di padang dan memulihkan maruah Selangor.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek remains confident that the national Uber Cup squad can spring a surprise when Malaysia hosts the Thomas and Uber Cup finals at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil from May 9-16. He said despite not being the favourite, the women's team was able to surprise everyone by winning the gold medal at the Laos SEA Games. "I am confident they (Uber Cup team) will be able to produce a similar surprise. Not only are they capable of reaching the semi-final, they can go further," he told reporters after having lunch with national shuttlers here Thursday. National badminton Team manager Datuk Syed Abu Bakar Abdullah who echoed the minister's confidence said: "In Laos, nobody expected the women's team to win the world, so why not the Uber Cup?

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...

Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’

Saya setuju. We are working on more coaches! “ @ManOlimpik : Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’ http://t.co/7D7wmHWaNy ” — Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) June 10, 2014 The benchmark. Can our junior athletes train as hard as Malaysia's world No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei? “IT IS okay lah. The training is not too bad lah. I will try lah … Wah, so hard lah today.” These are some of the common statements I hear from our juniors nowadays. It is not only in badminton. It is the easy-going, laid-back attitude and lack of competitiveness at grassroots level that we have problems producing quality players. I have travelled quite a bit. After ending my decade-long career with the national team, I went to play in the league in Europe. It’s different there. The European athletes know what they want. And they do it with real focus. Even the young ones possess admirable self-control and show a high level of commitment. During my time in the ...
