Argentina coach fine after mishap

Argentina coach fine after mishap
MADRID • Argentina's national football coach Lionel Scaloni has been released from hospital in Mallorca, Spain, after being hit by a car while riding his bicycle, the country's football association said yesterday.
The team also tweeted: "Lionel Scaloni suffered an accident today while cycling. He is now on his way home after being discharged from hospital."
Spanish daily El Mundo earlier said the former Lazio and Deportivo La Coruna defender, who was named Argentina's permanent coach in November, was taken to the Hospital Universitario Son Espases on the resort island with multiple injuries.
Local emergency services added the 40-year-old suffered a "facial injury" and "several bruises" after being knocked to the ground by a vehicle that was reversing near a school in the port of Puerto Portals.
However, he posted an update on his condition yesterday, with a reassuring message that read: "Many thanks for all the messages I've received, just a few stitches and home. Thanks to everyone."
Argentine Football Association president Claudio Tapia also corroborated his account, tweeting that "he was fine, he had an accident in Mallorca and thank God, he has been given the all clear".
Scaloni will oversee the team's Copa America campaign this year, with Argentina bidding to win their first major trophy since 1993.
He made seven international appearances before retiring from playing in 2015, joining Jorge Sampaoli as his assistant at Sevilla in 2016 and following him when he was appointed the national coach in 2017.
While the former Chile coach was sacked in the wake of Argentina's disastrous World Cup campaign - they barely scraped through their qualification group only to be eliminated in the round of 16 by eventual winners France - Scaloni stayed on as caretaker coach before being handed the full-time reins.

Punishments for racism a farce: Rose

Punishments for racism a farce: Rose
LONDON • Tottenham defender Danny Rose is counting the days until he can retire and no longer has to suffer racist taunts.
In his first public interview since being the subject of vitriolic taunts during England's 5-1 Euro 2020 qualifier victory at Montenegro on March 25, he also called the punishments meted out to offending nations "a farce".
Declaring he was "over the moon" upon hearing of manager Mauricio Pochettino's plans to lead his players off the pitch if he encounters any racist chanting, he said: "Yes, I've had enough.
"At the minute, how I programme myself (is that) I've got five or six more years left in football and I just can't wait to see the back of it.
"Seeing how things are done in the game at the minute, it's just whatever, isn't it? I want to get out of it. That's how I feel...
"There's so much politics and whatever in football and I can't wait to see the back of it."
Player response to racism at games has come under increased scrutiny after the monkey-chanting heard just before the final whistle in Podgorica, and his response will undoubtedly encourage other players to question if enough is being done to deter racism.
England teammate Raheem Sterling, who also copped plenty of abuse that night, has suggested that black players have endured as much as they can take, something which Rose agrees with.
The 28-year-old has endured more than most. While playing for the England Under-21 team in Serbia in 2012, he was taunted with monkey chants and accused of being vulgar by the Football Association of Serbia when, in response, he mimicked the supporters.
Rose, who was sent off after the final whistle for showing his frustration, added: "I played in Serbia years ago and it happened there.
"So I sort of thought it would be a possibility that it might happen again, and it did. I looked up in the first half and I know the exact time it happened.
"It didn't affect my game. I'm a big boy and I know that three points are not the most important thing when you're going through something like that.
"But I wanted the team to get three points, so that we could get out of Montenegro...
"But, when countries get fined what I'd probably spend on a night out in London, what do you expect?"

Football: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer named Manchester United caretaker manager, says club 'is in my heart'

Football: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer named Manchester United caretaker manager, says club 'is in my heart'

LONDON (AFP, THE GUARDIAN) - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was on Wednesday (Dec 19) named as English Premier League football club Manchester United's caretaker manager until the end of the 2018-19 season following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
Solskjaer will take charge of the first team with immediate effect and will remain in place while the club looks for a new full-time manager.
"Manchester United is in my heart and it's brilliant to be coming back in this role. I'm really looking forward to working with the very talented squad we have, the staff and everyone at the club," the 45-year-old Norwegian told United's website.
The former United striker will be assisted by Mike Phelan, 56, another of the club's former players, who previously spent 14 years on the club's coaching staff, including five as the No. 2.
Solskjaer takes over following Mourinho's sacking on Tuesday. His first game in charge is Saturday's trip to Cardiff, the club with whom he had his only previous experience of Premier League management.
The Norwegian, who has been managing Molde, took Cardiff down to the Championship in May 2014. On being sacked the following September, his record was 16 defeats from 30 games and five wins, of which three were in the top flight.
Solskjaer is fondly remembered at Old Trafford for scoring the winning goal in the 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich. Just over a year ago, he described United as a "dream" job in an interview with United.no, the Manchester United Supporters' Club Scandinavia.


United's executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, said: "Ole is a club legend with huge experience, both on the pitch and in coaching roles. His history at Manchester United means he lives and breathes the culture here and everyone at the club is delighted to have him and Mike Phelan back. We are confident they will unite the players and the fans as we head into the second half of the season."
 
Coaches Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna continue on the first-team staff. United are sixth in the Premier League with 26 points, 19 points behind leaders Liverpool, and 11 from a Champions League berth.

Football: Singapore's national women's team to compete in Australia's Arafura Games

SINGAPORE - As part of their preparation for this year's SEA Games, Singapore's national women's football team will compete in the upcoming Arafura Games in Darwin, Australia.

This will be newly-appointed Lionesses' head coach Melisa Ye's first official competition. She said in a statement on Friday (April 26): "It has not been long since I took over the team and the girls are still getting used to my playing style and philosophy.
"This tournament will be beneficial in helping the girls to strengthen their teamwork, especially in our run-up of preparations for selection to the 2019 South-east Asian Games.
"I hope that the girls will remember my philosophy: Respect all, Fear none. We may face tough opponents who are physically stronger and quicker but we have to learn to stand up against them."
The team depart for Darwin on Saturday and open their campaign against Timorese Fugees on Monday at the Darwin Football Stadium. They then face NT Yapas (April 30), Darwin Invitational (May 1) and the Koalas (May 2). The semi-finals and finals are on May 3.
The Singapore squad:
Goalkeepers - Azura Azlan, Hazel Lim.
Defenders - Farhanah Ruhaizat, Syazwani Ruzi, Umairah Hamdan, Angelyn Pang, Nor Aqilah Shazali, Rosnani Azman.
