Named his country's best player of the last 50 years by the Andorran Football Federation (FAF). • Took over as coach of the national team in February 2010 after the departure of David Rodrigo, though his side finished bottom of their qualifying groups for UEFA EURO 2012 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. That was again the case in the UEFA EURO 2016 preliminaries, although Andorra did score four goals – setting a new best mark for the competition. Fernando Santos Date of birth: 10 October 1954 Nationality: Portuguese Playing career: SL Benfica, CS Marítimo, Estoril Praia Coaching career: Estoril Praia, CF Estrela da Amadora, FC Porto, AEK Athens FC (twice), Panathinaikos FC, Sporting Clube de Portugal, SL Benfica, PAOK FC, Greece, Portugal • A left-back, Santos started his playing days at home-town club Benfica before two-year stints with Marítimo and Estoril-Praia. Retired in 1975. • After a career change as a technician – Santos holds a degree in electrical and telecommunications engineering – he returned to football in 1987, taking over at former team Estoril-Praia. Stayed seven years, guiding them to two promotions and the Portuguese top flight. • Had four seasons with Estrela da Amadora prior to joining Porto in 1998. Led his side to the Liga title in his first term, adding two domestic cups before departing for AEK in 2001. Again made an instant impact, lifting the 2002 Greek Cup. Went to Panathinaikos that summer followed by spells at Sporting, AEK and Benfica. • He then revived PAOK's fortunes, steering them to runners-up spot in the 2009/10 Super League to earn a place in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. Announced his departure in May 2010 and was confirmed as Otto Rehhagel's successor as Greece coach six weeks later, proving an immediate hit as he helped them to UEFA EURO 2012. • Repeated the feat for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, guiding them to the last 16, before stepping down. He was appointed by Portugal that September after Paulo Bento's departure following a 1-0 defeat by Albania and led them to UEFA EURO 2016 thanks to seven successive victories. The crowning glory was to come in France, Portugal remaining unbeaten throughout the tournament and defeating the hosts in the St-Denis final thanks to Éder's extra- time goal. 6 Andorra - Portugal Saturday 7 October 2017 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Estadi Nacional, Andorra la Vella Match officials Referee Miroslav Zelinka (CZE) Assistant referees Ondřej Pelikán (CZE) , Jan Paták (CZE) Fourth official Zbynek Proske (CZE) FIFA Match Commissioner Metin Kazancioglu (TUR) Referee observer John Ward (IRL) Referee Name Date of birth UEFA matches Miroslav Zelinka 23/02/1981 4 45 FIFA Wold Cup matches involving teams from the two countries involved in this match No such matches refereed Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 07/11/2012 U19 QR Bulgaria Andorra 7-0 Tatabanya 14/04/2014 UYL Final SL Benfica FC Barcelona 0-3 Nyon 7 Andorra - Portugal Saturday 7 October 2017 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Estadi Nacional, Andorra la Vella Competition facts The Week of Football concept enables fans around the world to enjoy the very best action from the European Qualifiers – which will determine UEFA's representatives at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Bayesian methods are also used in this research field, but the association between these two is being developed. The aim of this paper is to present new mathematical concepts that are based on information and probability theory and can be applied to network analysis in Team Sports. These results are based on the transition matrices of the Markov chain, associated with the adjacency matrices of a network with n nodes and allowing for a more robust analysis of the variability of interactions in team sports. The proposed models refer to individual and collective rates and indexes of total variability between players and teams as well as the overall passing capacity of a network, all of which are demonstrated in the UEFA 2020/2021 Champions League Final.

    27 Sports Wednesday, July 11, 2018 SNIPPETS England dreaming but Croatia set to provide biggest World Cup test Can Southgate win a World Cup semi-final with England MOSCOW: England are dreaming of a first World Cup final since 1966 but first they must come through today’s semi-final at the Luzhniki Stadium against Croatia in what looks like their toughest test yet in Russia. Excitement has reached fever-pitch levels back in England, with Gareth Southgate’s young team mak- ing it to the last four of a major tournament for the first time since Euro ‘96, and for the first time at a World Cup since Italy in 1990. Both of those runs ended in defeats on penalties, but there is a belief that something could be different this time. England have already won a shootout in Russia, against Colombia in the last 16. And a young, likeable side with an eminently sensible and humble manager in Southgate have captured the hearts of a nation. Can Southgate now become the first manager to win a World Cup semi-final with England on foreign soil as he bids ultimately to match the achievement of Alf Ramsey’s side? “We were not certain what this team might be capable of,” Southgate admitted to ITV, mindful of England’s many recent failures. They had won just one knockout match at a major tournament in 16 years before coming to Russia, a 1-0 victory against Ecuador at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. “We believed in its potential, and I think the games that KAZAN: Belgium’s goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois stops a shot on goal during the Russia 2018 World Cup we’ve prepared for, we had belief we would win, but quarter-final football match between Brazil and Belgium at the Kazan Arena in Kazan on Friday.

  • Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages
    International Journal of Computer Science in Sport Volume 1 6, Issue 1, 2017 Journal homepage: http://iacss.org/index.php?id=30 DOI: 10.1515/ijcss-2017-0002 Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages Yaldo, L., Shamir, L. Lawrence Technological University Abstract The wage of a football player is a function of numerous aspects such as the player’s skills, performance in the previous seasons, age, trajectory of improvement, personality, and more. Based on these aspects, salaries of football players are determined through negotiation between the team management and the agents. In this study we propose an objective quantitative method to determine football players’ wages based on their skills. The method is based on the application of pattern recognition algorithms to performance (e.g., scoring), behavior (e.g., aggression), and abilities (e.g., acceleration) data of football players. Experimental results using data from 6,082 players show that the Pearson correlation between the predicted and actual salary of the players is ∼0.77 (p < .001). The proposed method can be used as an assistive technology when negotiating players salaries, as well as for performing quantitative analysis of links between the salary and the performance of football players. The method is based on the performance and skills of the players, but does not take into account aspects that are not related directly to the game such as the popularity of the player among fans, predicted merchandise sales, etc, which are also factors of high impact on the salary, especially in the case of the team lead players and superstars. Analysis of player salaries in eight European football leagues show that the skills that mostly affect the salary are largely consistent across leagues, but some differences exist.
