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.

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 ...

Organising Major Sports Events Can Inspire Sports Culture Among The People - Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, June 5 (Bernama) -- Organising major sports events can help inspire sports culture among the people and ensure a healthy lifestyle said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. Khairy said the Tour of Malaysia cycling race organised since 1963, for example, can encourage more people to take the sport in a more competitive way or just for recreation purposes. "A study carried out by a world renown medical journal, The Lancet, revealed that 61 percent of adults in Malaysia do not engage themselves in active sports. "A study by the Health Ministry revealed that only 25 percent of Malaysians exercise," he said in his speech when launching the 2013 Tour of Malaysia (Jelajah Malaysia) at the Youth and Sports Ministry, here, Wednesday. "Cycling, though not as popular here as in countries like Denmark, the activity is becoming popular among the people as can be seen through an increase in sale of bicycles for recreation," he sa...

Sports press clippings on the 24 April 2008

Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob (centre) speaks to athletes after giving away the Olympic qualifying incentives in Putrajaya yesterday. — Pic: RAMDZAN MASIAM Thomas Cup Equally Important, Says Ismail PUTRAJAYA, April 23 (Bernama) -- Although Malaysia want badly a badminton gold at the Beijing Olympics in August, winning the Thomas Cup in Jakarta in May is equally important, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob. "My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992. "Statements made that the Beijing Olympics takes precedence over other events is not the position of the ministry," he told reporters at his office here today. Ismail said no matter what events Malaysians competed, seeking glory for the nation should be the overriding priority. He said this when asked to comment on remarks by national badminton chief coach Yap Kim Hock on...
