  • AIMÉ JACQUET Former Manager of French National Football Team
    AIMÉ JACQUET Former Manager of French national football team Aimé Jacquet was born in Sail-sous-Couzan, Loire. He began his career as an amateur player for his local club, US Couzan, while working in a factory. Scouted by Saint-Étienne, he joined Les Verts in 1959 and signed his first professional contract in 1961. One of the most successful soccer clubs of the time, Saint-Étienne, won an impressive 5 league titles and 3 French Cups in his 11 years with the club. He also played for the national side, but his international career failed to take off because Les Bleus performed poorly during his years on the team. In 1973, he left Saint- Étienne for bitter regional rivals Olympique Lyonnais , where he ended his career as a player. Topics Jacquet worked as a manager for clubs around France and gained an impressive list of accolades for Bordeaux during the 1980s, leading them to 3 league titles, 2 Leadership French Cups, 2 European semi-finals and 1 quarter-final. Dismissed by President Motivation Claude Bez, he left Bordeaux to hone his managerial skills with more modest teams like Montpellier and Nancy. In 1991, he accepted a position with the National Technical Training Centre (Direction Technique Nationale). In 1992, he was appointed the assistant to then national team manager Gérard Houllier. After the French national team was knocked out of the running for the 1994 FIFA World Cup by Israel and Bulgaria, Aimé Jacquet was made the manager of the national team, but only provisionally. After a promising series of friendly matches (notably a victory over Italy in Naples in February 1994), his provisional status was upgraded to permanent.

  • English Premier League: Should Mike Ashley Sell Newcastle United This Summer?
    English Premier League: Should Mike Ashley sell Newcastle United this Summer? Author : Dean Perretta Ever since being crowned SKY BET Championship 2016-2017 champions last season, Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle United have weathered many twists and turns throughout their touch and go re-acquaintance in the fast lane of the English Premier League. Irrespective of a tenth place finish in the EPL in 2017-2018, Newcastle United’s most gravest challenge moving forward remains predominately on a questionable transfer policy stemmed by the universally unpopular ownership of Mike Ashley, coupled alongside the unsteady direction of the club, which has seen a perennial yo-yo effect rallying back and forth between the EPL and Sky BET Championship. During the last two consecutive transfer windows, Newcastle United owner Ashley relatively deprived Magpies fans and the club of standard bearing acquisitions which are conveniently suited to the lofty level and intensity of the EPL. 1 / 3 In the summer of 2017, Newcastle United purchased six players (Christian Atsu, Joselu, Mikel Merino, Javier Manquillo, Jacob Murphy and Florian Lejuene), whereas 13 players departed from Tyneside. Of the six Newcastle United players which arrived at St. James’ Park in the summer of 2017, Newcastle United spent almost £45 million. Conversely, of the 13 players which departed from the North East last summer, the Magpies made just £17.5 million. Furthermore, the last transfer window in January 2018, the Mapies did not permanently purchase any players and decided to loan three players until the end of the season (Islam Slimani, Kenedy and Martin Dubravka). Newcastle United did not sell any players during the January 2018 transfer window, rather loaning out 10 players (Aleksander Mitrovic, Jack Colback, Freddie Woodman, Rolando Aarons, Henri Saivet, Jamie Sterry, Daniel Barlaser, Kyle Cameron, Ivan Toney and Adam Armstrong).
