He takes a scientific, analytical approach to the job. Once requested that his players’ wives and partners attend a session on nutrition and cooking to ensure that his players would eat healthily! Has been decorated by the Queen of England. His team is considered one of the most creative in the English Premier League. So far has not managed his national team.

Education 2010 PHOTOCOPIABLE Eight Famous Managers Reading E One of a long line of strict Scottish managers and by far the most successful manager in British football history, he once kicked a boot at David Beckham in a dressing room row and is known for his ‘mind games’ with rivals. As a player he was a striker and scored 167 goals in 327 matches. Famous for winning matches in the last minutes with brilliant substitutions. Briefly managed the Scottish national team in 1986. F Invented the approach known as ‘total football’ in which any player can adopt the role of another and perfected the defensive ‘offside trap’. Named ‘Coach of the Century’ by FIFA in 1999. His incredibly talented and creative team was beaten by Germany in the World Cup final in 1974. G Narrowly lost in the semi-finals of the World Cup to Germany in 1990, he came from a working-class background and was universally popular. Famous for his understanding of players’ psychology and man-management skills, this was reflected in many comments from former players that he was like a father to them. Passed away in 2009 aged 76. Managed a number of problematic players and did his best to help them overcome their demons. H Is known as ‘The Special One’. Researches his opposing teams in detail before every match and plans how to counter their strengths and exploit their weaknesses. Prides himself on being a winner. An expert communicator who is outspoken when it suits him and also likes to tease his opponents and the media. He revels in publicity but is a family man off the pitch.

However, behind the recent success of the latest European Championship final round lurk many concerns thrown up by the famous Bosman ruling, which, at inter- national level, made it easier for players to move clubs and removed the limitations previously imposed by the national and international football authorities. One of the consequences of this explosion of transfers is that it has become more difficult in some countries for young players to work their way up to their club’s first team, a struggle which may make them turn their backs on football and take up another sport instead. Of course, a talented youngster always manages to make room for himself, but even he needs suitable training in order to develop and make the most of his skills. But training is expensive; it sometimes costs even more than talent scouting, and requires patience.

    Dona Lúcia e o Pugilato: a CBF e a (falta de) gestão estratégica de comunicação de crise durante a Copa do mundo de 2014 Ary Rocco Universidade de São Paulo. São Paulo. SP. Brasil. Contato com o autor: [email protected] Resumo: A comunicação organizacional estratégica pode contribuir para a melhoria da performance e ajudar na construção da identidade de uma organização esportiva, colaborando para a excelência também dos resultados econômico e financeiro da entidade. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar, de forma singular, a (falta de) gestão estratégica da comunicação de crise adotada pela CBF durante a disputa da Copa do Mundo de 2014. Vamos, através do método da revisão bibliográfica e da análise documental, resgatar as ações equivocadas de comunicação do Brasil durante a principal competição do futebol mundial. Pretendemos, com isso, identificar as razões do fracasso do projeto organizacional de comunicação adotado pela entidade que gerencia o futebol no país. O ambiente atribulado “fora de campo”, em nossa opinião, se não foi determinante, contribuiu, e muito, para o insucesso da seleção brasileira “dentro das quatro linhas”. Palavras-chave: Comunicação organizacional no esporte. Copa do Mundo 2014. CBF. Seleção Brasileira. Gestão do esporte. Abstract: Dona Lucia and Sparring: CBF and the (Lack of) Strategic Management Crisis Communication During the World Cup 2014. The strategic organizational communication can contribute to improving the performance and assist in the building of a sports organization, contributing to excellence also the economic and financial results of the entity. The aim of this paper is to analyze, in a unique way, the (lack of) strategic management of crisis communication adopted by the CBF during the World Cup race of 2014.

    A Probabilistic Model for Time-Aware Entity Recommendation Lei Zhang, Achim Rettinger, and Ji Zhang Institute AIFB, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany fl.zhang, [email protected] Abstract. In recent years, there has been an increasing effort to develop techniques for related entity recommendation, where the task is to retrieve a ranked list of related entities given a keyword query. Another trend in the area of information retrieval (IR) is to take temporal aspects of a given query into account when assessing the relevance of documents. However, while this has become an established functionality in document search engines, the significance of time has not yet been recognized for entity recommendation. In this paper, we address this gap by introducing the task of time-aware entity recommendation. We propose the first probabilistic model that takes time-awareness into consideration for entity recommendation by leveraging heterogeneous knowledge of entities extracted from different data sources publicly available on the Web. We extensively evaluate the proposed approach and our experimental results show considerable improvements compared to time-agnostic entity recommendation approaches. 1 Introduction The ever-increasing quantities of entities in large knowledge bases on the Web, such as Wikipedia, DBpedia and YAGO, pose new challenges but at the same time open up new opportunities of information access on the Web. In recent years, many research activities involving entities have emerged and increasing attention has been devoted to technologies aimed at identifying entities related to a user's information need. Entity search has been defined as finding an entity in the knowledge base that is explicitly named in a keyword query [1].
