42 Jurulatih Mohon Jawatan Rajagobal - Tengku Abdullah

KUALA LUMPUR, 30 Okt (Bernama) -- Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) telah menerima 42 permohonan daripada jurulatih tempatan dan luar negara untuk mengisi jawatan ketua jurulatih skuad kebangsaan, Harimau Malaya.

Timbalan Presiden FAM, Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah berkata panel pemilihan FAM sedang menyenarai pendek pemohon untuk mengisi kerusi 'panas' yang disandang oleh Datuk K. Rajagobal.

Kontrak Rajagobal bersama skuad Harimau Malaya akan berakhir Disember ini.

Tengku Abdullah berkata keputusan calon pengganti Rajagobal hanya akan diumumkan selepas kempen skuad Harimau Malaya dalam pusingan pusingan kelayakan Piala Asia 2015 berakhir Mac tahun depan.

"Pemilihan calon bergantung kepada beberapa kriteria seperti petunjuk prestasi utama, kemampuan (pasukan kebangsaan) dan apa yang terbaik untuk pasukan," katanya kepada pemberita selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Antarabangsa serta Teknikal dan Belia FAM di sini, hari ini.

Berikutan itu, beliau meminta semua pihak supaya menghentikan desakan supaya menamakan pengganti Rajagobal.

Dalam pada itu, Tengku Abdullah berkata badan induk bola sepak kebangsaan itu sedang meneliti sembilan permohonan untuk mengisi jawatan Pengarah Teknikal FAM.

Menurutnya jawatan itu berbeza dengan fungsi Pengarah Pembangunan Bola Sepak Negara yang disandang oleh bekas pemain kebangsaan Lim Teong Kim yang memberikan tumpuan kepada aspek pembangunan bola sepak di peringkat akar umbi.

"Calon yang dipilih bertanggungjawab melihat (aspek) kejurulatihan skuad Harimau Muda A sehingga C, skuad Harimau Malaya serta skuad futsal dewan dan pantai kebangsaan.

"Jadi, banyak tanggungjawab yang perlu dipikul (oleh mereka yang terpilih nanti)," jelasnya.

Jawatan Pengarah Teknikal FAM kosong selepas abang Teong Kim, Lim Kim Chon, memutuskan untuk tidak menyambung kontraknya bersama FAM pada Jun lepas.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

KUALA TERENGGANU, May 29 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badaw i said the government always gives emphasis on cultivating a strong sporting culture in achieving excellence at the international level. As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9. Abdullah said he was aware that competition in sports was very keen and challenging but this did not mean that Malaysian athletes were incapable of competing at the international level. "The fact is that we have all the characteristics required to be excellent. We must inculcate a strong fighting spirit so that we don't easily surrender,...

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...
