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.

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?

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 ...

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...
