| PSG linked to Malouda as Ancelotti rumours grow Posted: 27 Dec 2011 02:57 AM PST
Malouda (picture) has mainly been on the bench for Chelsea this season and with his spot in France's Euro 2012 squad under threat, the 31-year-old may push for a move in the January transfer window. "I'm not getting enough playing time. It's too limited for the ambitions I have. I can't be happy with that. If it is necessary, I will leave," Malouda, who joined Chelsea from Olympique Lyon in 2007, was quoted as saying by French media today. The Parisien said Malouda was interested in joining PSG and his former Chelsea coach Ancelotti, who reports suggest was set to take over with Antoine Kombouare poised for the sack despite leading the French standings. PSG, who are also in talks to bring David Beckham to France in January, issued a short statement last week saying only that they were having "serene discussions" with Kombouare. Pundits took that to mean his days are numbered as his low profile does not fit with PSG's ambitious Qatari owners. Sporting director Leonardo worked with Ancelotti at AC Milan and reports say a deal in principle had been agreed with the Italian, who previously said he wanted to work again in England. – Reuters Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
| Krasnozhan is new coach at wealthy Anzhi Posted: 27 Dec 2011 01:58 AM PST  Former Brazilian fullback Roberto Carlos (R) of Anzhi Makhachkala challenges Alexander Anyukov (L) of Zenit St.Petersburg in their Russian cup match in the Chechen capital Grozny in this file photo of March 1, 2011. Big-spending Anzhi named Yuri Krasnozhan, fired by Lokomotiv Moscow this year, as coach on December 27, 2011. – Reuters pic The 48-year-old replaces Andrei Gordeyev and Brazilian Roberto Carlos who took over in a joint caretaker capacity in September when the long-serving Gadzhi Gadzhiyev was sacked. "The board of directors have appointed Yuri Krasnozhan as head coach of Anzhi Makhachkala," the wealthy club from the volatile North Caucasus region said on their website (http://www.fc-anji.ru). "The Russian coach has signed a five-year contract." Krasnozhan was sacked by Lokomotiv in June despite the club being among the league leaders at the time. The railway side said he was fired for "negligence in his job" following a controversial defeat by Anzhi. "I'm very grateful to the Anzhi bosses for entrusting me with these huge responsibilities," said Krasnozhan who made his name as a coach at North Caucasus rivals Spartak Nalchik. POPULAR CLUB "Anzhi have become one of the more popular clubs in recent times, followed not only in Russia but also round the world." The club, bankrolled by billionaire Suleiman Kerimov, had been linked with several high-profile coaches including England's Fabio Capello, Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho and former Russia boss Guus Hiddink. Russian Kerimov's money helped lure Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o from Inter Milan during the last transfer window on a three-year deal. According to media reports, Eto'o is now the highest-paid player in world soccer with an annual salary of US$26.8 million (RM84.63 million). Asked if he could deal with Eto'o and Roberto Carlos, who still plays at left back, Krasnozhan said: "Anzhi are not just Roberto and Samuel. We also have a lot of other talented players, local guys. "I don't have to control them. We must be as one, as a team." Anzhi consultant German Tkachenko said he had been thinking of someone else for the job. "We, as consultants, offered a different candidate for the head coaching post," Kerimov's close friend Tkachenko told Russian media. "But the club decided differently." – Reuters Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
