Emery was dismissed in November after just 18 months in the hot-seat, with ex-Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta drafted in as his replacement after a successful spell serving as Pep Guardiola's No 2 at Manchester City.

The contrast with the present-day group is night and day, and it's been created by Arteta and Mertesacker.

Critics of Wenger cite his failure to replace key players, to adapt to the modern transfer market and an over-reliance on inexperienced players as reasons to doubt the Frenchman, while supporters point to the fact that Arsenal have qualified for the riches of the Champions League Europe's most prestigious tournament for 18 years in a row with a team that always plays attractive, attacking football as reasons to believe that the FA Cup is just won of many trophies still to be won by Wenger and Arsenal.

  • DIAMBARS SOUTH AFRICA Author: D. Habchi OVERVIEW Update
    DIAMBARS SOUTH AFRICA Author: D. Habchi OVERVIEW Update: 01/02/10 I. ABOUT DIAMBARS Diambars is a non-governmental organization, created in 2000 by renowned football players, viz., 1998 world champions Patrick Vieira and Bernard Lama, and Jimmy Adjovi-Boco (former captain of the Benin National Team), with the support of several other champions and soccer legends. Diambars uses football as a driving force for education and offers disadvantaged children in Africa, with a talent for playing football, the opportunity to acquire solid academic training. Diambars has created a sport-education model that provides: ― Top level sport-education institutes, which offer accommodation, education and physical training to children between the ages of 13 and 18; the students are expected to achieve high standards in football and education, ― Community-based social development programs, using the power of football as an effective tool to promote education at large. Through education and top level sports, the Diambars Institute aims to favor the integration and fair social development of young people who have chosen high-level sports as a means of self- achievement, without suffering by being uprooted from their home environment. Diambars also acts at the level of sustainable development in response to the lack of educational structures and the poor level of sport in Africa. The model was properly endorsed by UNESCO which recognized Diambars’ capacity to provide quality education and promote the social role of sport. Diambars is a Senegalese word for fighters, which is very fitting for a football academy concept also designed to address the plight of African football players who generally choose the world of football at the expense of education.

  • Football Agents in the Biggest Five European Football Markets an Empirical Research Report
    FOOTBALL AGENTS IN THE BIGGEST FIVE EUROPEAN FOOTBALL MARKETS AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH REPORT FEBRUARY 2012 Raffaele Poli, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Giambattista Rossi, João Havelange Scholarship, Birkbeck University (London) With the collaboration of Roger Besson, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Football agent portrayed by the Ivorian woodcarver Bienwélé Coulibaly Executive summary While intermediaries acting in the transfers of footballers have existed since almost the birth of the professional game, the profession of agent was not officially recognised until 1991 when FIFA established the first official licensing system. In November 2011, there were 6,082 licensed agents worldwide: 41% of them were domiciled within countries hosting the big five European leagues: England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France. This research project firstly investigates shares in the representation market of players in the five major European championships. By presenting the results of a survey questionnaire, it analyses the socio-demographic profile of licensed football agents in the above mentioned countries, the business structure of their activity, the different kinds of services provided, and the way in which they are performed from a relational point of view (network approach). The analysis of shares highlights that the big five league players’ representation market is highly concentrated: half of the footballers are managed by 83 football agents or agencies. Our study reveals the existence of closed relational networks that clearly favors the concentration of players under the control of few agents. Footballers are not equally distributed between intermediaries. Conversely, dominant actors exist alongside dominated agents. One fifth of the agents having answered to our questionnaire manage the career of half of the players represented on the whole.

El 1 de junio, todos los equipos deben comunicar a la FIFA la nómina definitiva de 23 hombres para el Mundial, que se disputará del 11 de junio al 11 de julio en Sudáfrica.

The striker at the centre of the controversy has said a replay between the two nations would be fair. Henry broke Irish hearts in the second leg of the World Cup qualification match. He clearly handled the ball to keep it in play, then crossed it for his compatriot William Gallas to head into the back of the net. This put France into the Finals in South Africa in 2010. Ireland was the better team on the night and looked like causing a shock in Paris. Instead, the Irish players sat on the pitch at the end of the game in tears and disbelief. Henry’s celebrations were muted. He sat with Irish player Richard Dunne in the centre of the field and admitted the handball. The Irish prime minister and foreign secretary have asked FIFA for a replay. The sport’s governing body, however, said this was out of the question.
