David Moyes sacked!

A year after penning an 18-month contract with Spanish club, Real Sociedad, former Manchester United boss, David Moyes has been shown the exit door. It is not unlikely that the club which currently sits at the 18th position on La Liga standings axed the Scot following it’s dismal performance in Friday night’s 2-0 defeat against Las Palmas.
The news was confirmed by the club in a statement today.
“Real Sociedad would like to thank David Moyes and his assistant, also departing Billy McKinlay for the professional conduct, commitment and dedication which they showed during their roles in the running of the first team. At the same time, we would like to wish them all the best in their future ventures, both professional and personal.”

Nigeria's Golden Eaglets win FIFA U-17 World Cup again

Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets defended their U-17 World Cup title for the first time with a 2-0 victory over Mali. The first half of the match ended a goalless draw. Ebere got the best chance for Nigeria from the spot but his penalty was saved.
Victor Osimhen however gave Nigeria an early lead in the 56th minute, scoring his 10th goal and the highest in the tournament. Bamgboye later capitalized on an error from the Mali goalkeeper to wrap up proceedings.
Nigeria has just joined Brazil as the only countries to successfully defend the U17 World Cup. Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Nwakali emerged Golden boot and Golden ball winners respectively.
The elated Golden Eaglets coach, Emmanuel Amuneke described the victory as a dream come true.
“It was a beautiful and entertaining match. I think the people in the stadium enjoyed it today. We knew that Mali are technically very strong, have great individual players and are very fast. We wanted to make no mistakes but we lost the ball many times in the midfield in the first half. But I don’t want to complain because they are all kids. We changed some things in the second half and made some substitutes. That brought us more safety in our game. 

“We are thankful for everything. We wanted to bring the players to their dreams and we did it. Thanks for the support. We feel like we are at home. We have worked very hard for this success and we hope to continue. The players will go home now but their journey is not over yet. Personally, I’m really happy. I have football in my blood, as a player and as a coach. This is what I want to pass to my players.” The ex- Nigeria international was quoted on FIFA.com

Why we sacked our Nigerian crew -Virgin Atlantic Airways

Kudirat Scott-Igbene, the marketing and communications manager of British Airline, Virgin Atlantic Airways has issued a statement on the reason the company has decided to discontinue operations in Nigeria. A top source of the company had hinted reporters several hours back that they pulled out of the Nigerian market because it is no longer sustainable for the airline to continue to operate in the country.
“Virgin Atlantic Airways has laid off all its Nigerian cabin crew. They were only given three- week notice and no severance package regardless of their length of service will be paid. “The air-hostesses they sacked were about 20 and last year, they closed down their Nigerian call centre and let go of all the Nigerian staff.” The source hinted.
Kudirat explained further that “We have decided that we will no longer have crew based in Lagos. This is by no means a reflection on our Lagos based cabin crew, the primary purpose of our locally based cabin crew has been to provide cultural expertise and customer feedback has shown us that this is no longer a requirement on the Lagos route.
“The additional complexity required to operate an international crew base where there are no foreign language requirement means it is no longer sustainable going forward.”
“This announcement has no impact on our flying programme and we plan to continue flights between Lagos and London.
“After 14 years of flying the route, we remain committed to servicing the Nigerian people, whether it be for business, family or education.”

Arsene Wenger like never seen before

Designer jackets and suits, who knew the Frenchman was this dapper? Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger recently had a photo shoot and lengthy interview with L’Equipe’s Sport and Style magazine.

One interesting claim he made during the new interview was that he brings out the ‘beauty in man’.

‘In the religious world, it is said that God created man. I am only a guide. I allow others to express what they have in them. I have not created anything. I am a facilitator of what is beautiful in man. 

He continued, ‘I define myself as an optimist. My constant battle in this job is to bring out the beauty in man. You could call me naive. At the same time, it allows me to believe in that and, more often, proves me right.’
