FAM Sedia Pertimbangkan Hasrat Marcel Desailly Bimbing Skuad Kebangsaan

KUALA LUMPUR, 27 Feb (Bernama) -- Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM) sedia mempertimbangkan hasrat bekas Ketua Pasukan antarabangsa Perancis, Marcel Desailly untuk menggalas jawatan sebagai jurulatih baharu skuad Harimau Malaya.

Timbalan Presiden FAM Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah bertitah sekiranya Desailly benar-benar berminat, FAM akan meneliti kesesuaian pemain kelahiran Ghana itu bersama calon lain yang terdapat dalam senarai FAM.

"Nama Desailly ada dalam senarai panjang yang berminat untuk membimbing skuad bola sepak negara namun jika dibandingkan dengan calon lain beliau tidak mempunyai pengalaman sebagai jurulatih.

"Namun beliau merupakan seorang pemain yang baik serta berpengalaman dan saya tidak menolak kemampuan Desailly untuk menjadi jurulatih yang baik, cuma kita memerlukan seorang jurulatih yang lebih berpengalaman dalam aspek kejurulatihan," titah baginda kepada pemberita ketika ditemui pada majlis pelancaran buku bertajuk 'Beyond Dreams' nukilan bekas Setiausaha Agung Konfederasi Bola Sepak Asia (AFC) Datuk Dr Peter Velappan di Wisma OCM, di sini.

Sebelum ini, Bernama melaporkan Desailly menyatakan minat untuk menjadi jurulatih bola sepak kebangsaan bagi skuad Malaysia pada masa depan apabila jawatan itu kosong selepas FAM tidak melanjutkan kontrak Datuk K. Rajagobal yang tamat pada 31 Dis tahun lepas.

Sementara itu, Tengku Abdullah menyatakan kesediaan untuk mempertimbangkan cadangan bertanding merebut jawatan Presiden FAM untuk penggal 2014-2018.

Namun demikian, Tengku Abdullah bertitah akan hanya berbuat demikian sekiranya baginda mendapat pencalonan dan sokongan daripada anggota gabungan badan persatuan induk tersebut.

"Sebagai Timbalan (Presiden FAM), kalau ada mana-mana pihak yang menyatakan saya layak jadi Presiden (FAM), saya akan mempertimbangkan.

"Sebenarnya, saya hanya cuba mempertahankan jawatan saya sebagai Timbalan Presiden FAM sahaja buat masa ini," titah baginda.

Sebelum ini, Tengku Abdullah dan Tengku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim merangkap Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Negeri Johor (PBNJ) muncul sebagai calon popular untuk mengisi jawatan Presiden FAM yang bakal dipertandingkan dalam Mesyuarat Kongres FAM pada 25 Mei depan.

Penasihat Persatuan Bola Sepak Kelantan Tan Sri Annuar Musa memberikan pendapat bahawa Tunku Ismail layak untuk dilantik sebagai presiden baharu FAM selain mencadangkan nama lain daripada kalangan pemimpin tertinggi persatuan bola sepak negeri-negeri lain.

Presiden FAM ketika ini ialah Sultan Ahmad Shah, ayahanda Tengku Abdullah.

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...
