Schmid dilantik pengarah teknikal

HAMIDIN (kanan) mengesahkan pelantikan Schmid sebagai pengarah teknikal baharu FAM.

PENOLONG jurulatih Austria, Fritz Markus Schmid menjadi pilihan Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) untuk dilantik sebagai Pengarah Teknikal FAM yang baharu.

Perkara itu disahkan oleh Setiausaha Agung FAM, Datuk Hamidin Mohd. Amin semalam.
Menurut Hamidin, Schmid yang dijadualkan tiba Jumaat ini akan bertanggungjawab untuk memantau prestasi jurulatih-jurulatih di bawah naungan FAM untuk tempoh selama tiga tahun.

Selain itu, pengendali kelahiran Switzerland itu juga memiliki tugasan untuk memantau prestasi skuad Harimau Muda A, B, dan C termasuk aspek pembangunan bola sepak FAM.
"Benar, beliau (Schmid) dilantik sebagai Pengarah Teknikal baharu FAM. Dia akan tiba di sini (Malaysia) pada Jumaat ini untuk memulakan tugasan baharunya.

"Beliau akan bertanggungjawab memantau prestasi jurulatih termasuk jurulatih kebangsaan selain melihat prestasi para pemain serta pembangunan bola sepak di peringkat akar umbi.

"Malah, beliau juga memiliki kuasa untuk terlibat memberikan pandangan dalam sesi pemilihan jurulatih kebangsaan tidak lama lagi," katanya pada sidang akhbar di Wisma FAM, Kelana Jaya semalam.

Schmid, 54, pernah bertugas sebagai penolong jurulatih kelab Tottenham Hotspur, FC Basel 1893 dan FC Aargau selain menjadi pengurus kelab SC Kriens, Team Aargau U21, Grasshopper Club Zürich II dan Racing Club Zürich.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Hamidin turut menjelaskan bahawa FAM akan mengumumkan jurulatih baharu skuad Harimau Malaya selepas Kongres FAM ke-50 pada 25 Mei nanti.

Kosmo! sebelum ini melaporkan, FAM hampir-hampir melantik Phillipe Troussier sebagai jurulatih baharu tetapi tidak meneruskan perjanjian tersebut selepas bekas jurulatih Jepun itu menuntut permintaan melampau, Januari lalu.

Sejak insiden tersebut, FAM mengambil pendekatan kunci mulut dan ramai dikatakan berminat untuk mengisi kekosongan yang ditinggalkan bekas pengendali, Datuk K. Rajagobal termasuk bekas pemain Chelsea, Marcel Desailly.

"Selepas kongres itu nanti, FAM akan umumkan nama jurulatih baharu.
"Sebenarnya, kita sudah mengadakan perbincangan (jurulatih baharu Harimau Malaya) di dalam dan luar negeri. Kalau saya bagitahu calon, nanti ada spekulasi lagi," katanya yang enggan mengulas lebih lanjut.

Buat masa ini, Datuk Ong Kim Swee dilantik sebagai pengendali sementara skuad kebangsaan.

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...

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.

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...
