Japan fires football coach months before World Cup: media
Japan has fired national football coach Vahid Halilhodzic just two months before the World Cup, after a series of disappointing performances by the Blue Samurai, local media reported Monday. The dismissal has been months in the making, with Japan suffering several embarrassing losses and rumours swirling about tensions caused by Halilhodzic's infamously undiplomatic coaching style. Kyodo news agency cited Japan Football Association president Kozo Tashima as saying a successor would be named later Monday at a press conference. After being hired in March 2015, he steered the national team to qualification for the finals in Russia in June but has since been panned for the team's showing in a series of recent international friendlies. He has regularly been forced to deny rumours he was close to being fired, and in September said he had no plans to step aside despite harsh criticism.

Japan has fired national football coach Vahid Halilhodzic just two months before the World Cup, after a series of disappointing performances by the Blue Samurai, local media reported Monday. Kyodo news agency cited Japan Football Association president Kozo Tashima as saying a successor would be named later Monday at a press conference. The move comes after months of tension over Halilhodzic's perfomance, with the Franco-Bosnian being forced to rebut rumours late last year that he was facing the axe. After being hired in March 2015, he steered the national team to qualification for the finals in Russia in June, but he has been panned for the team's poor showing in a series of recent international friendlies. Last September he fired back at critics and said he had no plans to step aside, despite calls for his resignation. "To those who attacked me I say: bad luck for you but I'm going to carry on doing my job -- until when, we'll see." Local media has reported tensions between … [Read more...] about Japan fires football coach months before World Cup: local media
LATEST NEWS: New owners are as important as the best Peterborough United players
0 Have your say Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony is the man who funded the arrival at London Road of the Holy Trinity. But he’s confident his recruitment of co-owners Dr Jason Neale and Stewart Thompson will be just as significant as the signing of star players George Boyd, Craig Mackail-Smith and Aaron Mclean, the men who did most to propel Posh up the Football League into the Championship.MacAnthony has always followed his father’s advice about running businesses without partners. A chance meeting with Canadians Neale and Thompson in Las Vegas last September changed all that to the extent that the pair flanked MacAnthony at a Posh press conference called today (March 28) so the new partnership’s vision could be explained to the local media and to Sky TV. Rolling news is a tough gig these days and Posh have a chairman guaranteed to deliver a strong soundbite or two.Interestingly MacAnthony hinted his time at Posh might have been coming to … [Read more...] about LATEST NEWS: New owners are as important as the best Peterborough United players
