Dollah calon jurulatih Harimau Malaya

KUALA LUMPUR - Jurulatih PDRM FC, Dollah Salleh me­ngakui namanya telah dicalonkan oleh Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM) untuk menjawat jawatan ketua jurulatih skuad kebangsaan bagi menghadapi Kejohanan AFF November ini.

Bekas penyerang skuad kebangsaan itu bagaimanapun berkata, setakat ini belum ada keputusan yang boleh dibuatnya memandangkan masih terikat dalam kontrak dengan PDRM, juara Liga Perdana 2014.

"Yang boleh saya cakap ialah tawaran FAM itu memang ada. Ura-uranya saya antara empat calon kalangan jurulatih tempatan," katanya yang turut me­ngakui pernah berjumpa dengan Setiausaha Agung FAM, Datuk Hamidin Amin.

Dollah juga mengandaikan FAM masih menimbangkan pelantikan daripada kalangan calon jurulatih asing bagi mengisi kekosongan jawatan selepas khidmat Datuk K. Rajagobal tidak disambung Disember tahun lalu.

Nama pemenang pingat emas Sukan SEA 1989 dan Pestabola Merdeka 1986 dan 1993 ini kembali diperkatakan selepas ‘sentuhan midasnya’ terbukti lagi dengan membawa The Cops bergelar juara Liga Perdana, Jumaat lalu.

Datuk Ong Kim Swee masih menjadi jurulatih sementara skuad negara sejak menghadapi Yemen dalam perlawanan terakhir kelayakan Piala Asia 2015 Mac lalu selain mengendalikan Harimau Muda A.

FAM juga terpaksa menolak pengambilan Philippe Troussier yang membantu Jepun menjuarai Piala Asia 2000, naib juara Piala Konfederasi FIFA 2001 dan pusingan kedua Piala Dunia FIFA 2002, apabila warga Pe­rancis itu menuntut gaji tahunan RM5 juta dan mengenakan syarat yang hanya menguntungkannya.

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.

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...
