Previous meetings • Under Guus Hiddink, Anji eliminated Gertjan Verbeek's AZ from the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League play-offs; they won 1-0 in Russia, and 5-0 in Alkmaar – AZ's heaviest European defeat and Anji's biggest European win. • The teams for the game at Moscow's Lokomotiv Stadium on 23 August 2012 were: Anji: Gabulov, Samba, João Carlos, Boussoufa, Agalarov*, Jucilei, Eto'o, Tagirbekov*, Shatov, Carcela-González, Traoré (Smolov* 78). AZ: Esteban*, Marcellis*, Viergever*, Gorter*, Reijnen*, Maher, Falkenburg, Martens, Elm*, Altidore, Beerens* (Berghuis* 74). *registered to play for the club in this season's competition Match background • To set up last season's AZ tie, Anji overcame another Dutch side in the third qualifying round, winning 2-0 home and away against Vitesse in their only other encounters with Eredivisie opposition. • AZ have played six games against Russian teams with the record W2 D1 L3 (W0 D1 L2 in Russia). The aggregate score over those fixtures is 13-8 to the Russian sides. • Anji are unbeaten in three games in their temporary European home in Ramenskoye (W1 D2) since losing 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur FC in their first home fixture of this season's group stage. • AZ came through the group stage without defeat (W3 D3) and are unbeaten in five European away fixtures this season (W3 D2). • AZ have reached the round of 16 four times since the advent of the UEFA Cup group stage. They made it to the quarter-finals in all three previous attempts, overcoming FC Shakhtar Donetsk in 2004/05, Newcastle United FC in 2006/07 and Udinese Calcio in 2011/12. Team facts • AZ are one of four qualifiers from the group stage who remain unbeaten after nine games; ACF Fiorentina, Olympique Lyonnais and FC Salzburg are the others. • AZ's Serbian midfielder Nemanja Gudelj is one of only three players left in the competition who have played in all 810 minutes of this season's UEFA Europa League since the start of the group stage: the others are Salzburg goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi and Ludogorets right-back Junior Caiçara. • Gudelj has committed more fouls (18) than any other player still involved in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League. • Anji made it through the group stage at the first attempt under Hiddink last season, losing out to Newcastle on their round of 16 debut after eliminating Hannover 96. • Anji and NK Maribor were the only sides to have made it through this season's group stage with a negative goal difference, -3 in both cases. Anji scored just four goals in Group K; of the other teams that qualified, only Real Betis Balompié (three goals in Group I) registered fewer. • Anji come into this encounter as the bottom side in the Russian top division. The club sold most of their prize assets last summer, including Samuel Eto'o, Willian and Mbark Boussoufa. Coach information • A major footballing figure in his native Dagestan, Gadzhi Gadzhiev returned for a fourth spell as Anji boss in summer 2013. A player for FC Spartak Leningrad, he has coached in Azerbaijan and Japan and worked as assistant to Anatoliy Byshovets during his spells in charge of the USSR/CIS and Russia, embarking on the first of his adventures with Anji in 1999. • AZ dismissed Verbeek ahead of matchday two. He had been in charge since 2010 and led the club to Dutch Cup success last season. • Dick Advocaat was named AZ coach on 16 October, returning to the club where he spent five months in charge at the end of 2009/10. Twice Netherlands coach, he won the 2007/08 UEFA Cup with FC Zenit, as well as national titles with PSV Eindhoven (1997/98), Rangers FC (1998/99, 1999/2000) and Zenit (2007). 2 FC Anji Makhachkala - AZ Alkmaar Thursday 20 March 2014 - 18.00CET, (21.00 local time) Match press kit Saturn, Ramenskoye • Advocaat is one of two coaches in the round of 16 to have led a side to victory in this competition before, with SSC Napoli's Rafael Benítez (Valencia CF, 2004 & Chelsea FC, 2013) the other. Shoot-out record • Anji are yet to have a UEFA tie settled on penalties. • AZ's only UEFA penalty shoot-out ended in a 5-4 loss to FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the 1977/78 UEFA Cup second round. 3 FC Anji Makhachkala - AZ Alkmaar Thursday 20 March 2014 - 18.00CET, (21.00 local time) Match press kit Saturn, Ramenskoye Legend Competitions Club competitions National team competitions UCL: UEFA Champions League EURO: UEFA European Football Championship ECCC: European Champion Clubs' Cup WC: FIFA World Cup UEL: UEFA Europa League CONFCUP: FIFA Confederations Cup UCUP: UEFA Cup FRIE: Friendly internationals UCWC: UEFA Cup Winners' Cup U21FRIE: Under-21 friendly internationals SCUP: UEFA Super Cup U21: UEFA European Under-21 Championship UIC: UEFA Intertoto Cup U17: UEFA Under-17 Championship ICF: Inter-Cities Fairs Cup U16: UEFA European Under-16 Championship U19: UEFA Under-19 Championship U18: UEFA European Under-18 Championship WWC: FIFA Women's World Cup WEURO: UEFA European Women's Championship Competition stages Other abbreviations F: Final GS: Group stage (aet): After extra time pens: Penalties GS1: First group stage GS2: Second group stage No.: Number og: Own goal 3QR: Third qualifying round R1: First round ag: Match decided on away P: Penalty R2: Second round R3: Third round goals agg: Aggregate R4: Fourth round PR: Preliminary round Pld: Matches played AP: Appearances SF: Semi-finals QF: Quarter-finals Pos.: Position Comp.: Competition R16: round of 16 QR: Qualifying round Pts: Points D: Drawn R32: Round of 32 1QR: First qualifying round R: Sent off (straight red card) DoB: Date of birth 1st: first leg 2QR: Second qualifying Res.: Result ET: Extra Time round sg: Match decided by silver GA: Goals against 2nd: second leg FT: Final tournament goal t: Match decided by toss of a PO: Play-off ELITE: Elite round coin Rep: Replay 3rdPO: Third-place play-off GF: Goals for W: Won PO - FT: Play-off for Final GS-FT: Group stage – final gg: Match decided by golden Y: Booked Tournament tournament goal L: Lost Y/R: Sent off (two yellow Nat.: Nationality cards) N/A: Not applicable Statistics -: Denotes player substituted +: Denotes player introduced *: Denotes player sent off +/-: Denotes player introduced and substituted Squad list D: Disciplinary *: Misses next match if booked S: Suspended QUAL: All UEFA qualifiers UEL: Current season total UEFA Europa League appearances from the group stage onwards prior to the current matchday UEL: Total appearances in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final only UEFA: All-time total appearances in UEFA club competition including qualifying Disclaimer: Although UEFA has taken all reasonable care that the information contained within this document is accurate at the time of publication, no representation or guarantee (including liability towards third parties), expressed or implied, is made as to its accuracy, reliability or completeness.

  • BMO Management Strategies of Football Clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie
    BSc-Thesis – BMO Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie Name Student: Mylan Pouwels Registration Number: 991110669120 University: Wageningen University & Research (WUR) Study: BBC (Business) Thesis Mentor: Jos Bijman Date: 1-23-2020 Chair Group: BMO Course Code: YSS-81812 Foreword From an early age I already like football. I like it to play football by myself, to watch it on television, but also to read articles about football. The opportunity to combine my love for football with a scientific research for my Bachelor Thesis, could not be better for me. During an orientating conversation about the topic for my Bachelor Thesis with my thesis mentor Jos Bijman, I mentioned that I was always interested in the management strategies of organizations. What kind of choices an organization makes, what kind of resources an organization uses, what an organization wants to achieve and its performances. Following closely this process in large organizations is something I like to do in my leisure time. My thesis mentor Jos Bijman asked for my hobbies and he mentioned that there was a possibility to combine my interests in the management strategies of organizations with my main hobby football. In this way the topic Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie was created. The Bachelor Thesis Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie is executed in a qualitative research, using a literature study. This Thesis is written in the context of my graduation of the study Business-and Consumer Studies (specialization Business) at the Wageningen University and Research. From October 28 2019 until January 23 I have been working on the research and writing of my Thesis.

  • Number #9 in the TDF Top 50
    From being a small boy, I have always been a huge fan of both football and professional wrestling and at around the age of 10-years-old, I came across a monthly magazine brought to newsagents from the makers of the world famous Sports Illustrated all about pro wrestling. It was simply named Pro Wrestling Illustrated. It was a publication I regularly read as well as Shoot and Match weekly magazines to feed my football addiction. In 1991, PWI began this new craze that instantly grabbed my attention more than no other magazine had before. They revealed the 'PWI 500'. The 'PWI 500' section in the magazine listed (in rank order) the top 500 professional wrestlers in the world that year. Counting down from 500, this revealed to me many, many talents that I have not discovered as of yet. This was released every year, and still to this day is the best selling edition of the magazine each year. I studied and read and read over and over again that edition in 1991 and I came up with an idea. What if Match or Shoot revealed the top 500 footballers in the world? Thinking back to 1991, I used to love to tune into the 'BBC Radio 1 Top 40' show every Sunday afternoon too... maybe I'm a tad obsessed with countdowns. Anyways, reflecting on the idea, I thought about it each year the 'PWI 500' was released. As years went on, I felt that this would have grown into a hugely successful plan, gaining great recognition with people in the game, possibly gained its own award ceremony on TV with the emergence and exposure SKY Television in the United Kingdom was just beginning to give to the game back then.

Entre elas, quero agradecer, em especial: – Ao meu orientador, Prof. Dr. Jair Mendes Marques, pela serenidade, profissionalismo e conhecimento. – Ao meu coorientador, Prof. Dr. Anselmo Chaves Neto, pelas avaliações, observações e sugestões durante a elaboração do trabalho. – À minha família, pelo incentivo permanente e sobretudo pelo tempo em que teve de abrir mão da minha presença. – Aos meus colegas, pela amizade e incentivo nos momentos difíceis. RESUMO O futebol profissional teve seu início em 1885, na Inglaterra, com a criação das primeiras ligas oficiais. Desde então, houve muitas mudanças e evoluções, nos aspectos físicos, táticos e técnicos. Todavia, ainda existe muita subjetividade no meio, principalmente quando o objetivo é mensurar o desempenho de um atleta. Atualmente, o máximo de fundamentação teórica existente no futebol é utilizado por alguns dos grandes clubes da Europa com base em estatísticas descritivas e pontuais para decidir sobre contratações. Este trabalho propõe uma metodologia para classificar os atletas de futebol profissional baseada em seu desempenho.

I have provided my thoughts and betting tips on the Eredivisie season ahead while Martijn Hilhorst has give his knowledge of the new Jupiler League campaign to give you a taste for that action. So to quote the front page of this exclusive, free magazine this is... 'Your Definitive Guide to the Dutch Football Season'. Enjoy, Will Burns All transfer and statistical information included in this publication is correct as of August 6th 2015. Will Burns introduces the latest arrivals to the Eredivisie... YOUNG striker Yaya Sanogo joins the Amsterdammers on a season-long loan from Premier League giants Arsenal with a great reputation. However, spending last year at Crystal Palace in another loan deal, the 22-year-old failed to make an impact. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has a good relationship with Dennis Bergkamp and Marc Overmars and has trusted de Godenzonen to improve the youngster in a move and thinks Sanogo could help Ajax on the way: 'I am sure it will be good for Ajax and he has an opportunity to play in the Champions League and that's vital for his experience.'.
