Pengganti Rajagobal pertengahan bulan depan

Kelana Jaya: Aksi persahabatan antarabangsa dengan Filipina pada 1 Mac depan di Stadium Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS) bakal menjadi aksi pembuka tirai Harimau Malaya tahun ini namun biarpun tempoh itu nampak singkat, Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) seakan tidak mahu terburu-buru untuk memperkenalkan jurulatih baru kebangsaan.

Jika sebelum ini badan induk bola sepak tanah air itu menyatakan bersedia untuk mengumumkan pengganti baru Datuk K Rajagobal awal bulan depan namun seakan ada rundingan yang belum selesai apabila mereka masih memerlukan sedikit masa lagi.

“Seperti yang saya nyatakan sebelum ini, saya akan umumkan apabila tiba masanya. Saya jangkakan jurulatih baru skuad kebangsaan akan diumumkan pada pertengahan bulan depan,” kata Setiausaha Agung FAM Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin ketika ditemui semalam.

Pengendali dari Perancis Philippe Troussier dikatakan semakin hampir untuk menandatangani kontrak dengan FAM selepas mereka mengadakan pertemuan di Singapura November lalu.

FotoTROUSSIER dikatakan semakin hampir tandatangani kontrak dengan FAM.

Troussier, 58, bekas jurulatih skuad Piala Dunia Jepun, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Afrika Selatan, Qatar dan Maghribi dikatakan ditawarkan gaji lumayan lebih RM5 juta setahun selepas FAM tidak menyambung kontrak Rajagobal yang berakhir 31 Disember lalu.

Selain Troussier beberapa nama seperti bekas jurulatih Liverpool, Alex Miller, bekas jurulatih China dan Uzbekistan Bob Houghton, bekas jurulatih AS Roma Zdenek Zeman serta bekas pemain skuad juara Piala Dunia Perancis Marcel Desailly turut dikaitkan dengan kerusi panas itu.

Hamidin berkata, mereka tidak bimbang dengan persiapan Harimau Malaya yang akan meneruskan saingan dalam kelayakan Piala Asia 2015 menentang Yaman pada 5 Mac depan kerana jurulatih Harimau Muda A Datuk Ong Kim Swee kini mengendalikan tugas sebagai jurulatih sementara.

“Buat masa ini Kim Swee sedang memantau prestasi pemain dalam Liga M bagi aksi persahabatan nanti (menentang Filipina). Saya percaya beliau mampu menggalas tugas ini dengan baik sebelum FAM memperkenalkan jurulatih baru nanti,” katanya.

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 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...
