Euro star Zagorakis returns to PAOK Salonika
 
July 21, 2005
SALONIKA, Greece (AFP) - Theo Zagorakis, who skippered Greece to the Euro 2004 title, has signed a two-year contract with his former PAOK Salonika team, the Greek first division squad announced.

Zagorakis, who was released by Bologna, was greeted at the airport upon his arrival here by 3,000 PAOK fans and another 5,000 supporters at the club's offices where he signed his contract.

"The reception was unbelievable and I thank the supporters for that. I always had in my mind that I would return to PAOK, which for me is the best team in Greece," Zagorakis said.
 
 
The 34-year-old has played a record 106 times for the Greek national team and was last a member of PAOK in 1998 when he left to join Leicester City in England.

He left Leicester in 2000 to join AEK Athens and last season played for Bologna in Italy

Hiddink expected to be named Australia coach on Friday
 
SYDNEY, July 22 (Reuters) - Football Federation Australia (FFA) are expected to confirm PSV Eindhoven coach Guus Hiddink as their new national coach later on Friday.

FFA are holding a news conference at 0500 GMT (1500 local) on Friday to unveil the new coach. Media reports on Thursday in South Korea, where the Dutchman was with PSV for the Peace Cup pre-season tournament, said he was on his way to Sydney.

Hiddink, who guided co-hosts South Korea to the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup, told reporters in South Korea on Wednesday that he would take over as Australia coach, if the Socceroos qualify for the 2006 World Cup finals. 
 
"If Australia qualify for the 2006 World Cup, then I will take over (by) November," Hiddink said after PSV's 1-1 draw with Olympique Lyon at the tournament. "We just have to agree on some details before finalising (the deal)."

Hiddink said he would stay on at PSV as coach or in an advisory capacity until November.

Australia's next matches are the 2006 World Cup qualifiers against the Solomon Islands in September.

The Oceania group winners will play the fifth-placed South American team over two legs in November to qualify for the 2006 tournament in Germany.

FFA chief executive John O'Neill has previously said he is "99 percent sure" Hiddink would take over from Frank Farina, who stepped down last month after six years in charge.

Hiddink steered PSV Eindhoven to the Dutch league title and the semi-finals of the Champions League last season.

Finland name Heliskoski as caretaker coach
 
HELSINKI, July 25 (Reuters) - Jyrki Heliskoski has been appointed caretaker coach of Finland for the rest of their 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign.

The 59-year-old Heliskoski replaces Antti Muurinen on a temporary basis, the Football Association of Finland said on its website on Monday.

Heliskoski has previously coached HJK Helsinki and several Finnish youth teams.

President Pekka Hamalainen said the appointment would give the Football Association of Finland time to search for a coach for the 2006-07 European Championship qualifying campaign.

Muurinen, 51, who had been in charge since 2000, was sacked after his team's hopes of reaching the World Cup finals were virtually ended by a 4-0 home defeat by the Netherlands last month.

Finland play their next qualifier against Macedonia on August 17. They are fourth in Group One, 13 points behind the Dutch and 12 adrift of the Czech Republic.

Uzbekistan name Englishman Houghton as coach
 
TASHKENT, July 25 (Reuters) - Englishman Bobby Houghton has been named as coach of Uzbekistan's national team, signing a contract on Monday until the end of the year.

Houghton replaces Ravshan Khaidarov, who took over on a caretaker basis last month after German Heinz-Jurgen Geode was sacked following a string of poor results.

Uzbek officials said Houghton's contract could be extended through next year depending on the team's performances.
 
The 58-year-old Englishman has extensive coaching experience at club and international level in many parts of the world.

He has coached in the United States, China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and guided Swedish club Malmo to the European Cup final in 1979.

Houghton leads the central Asian country for the first time in a World Cup qualifier against Kuwait on August 17.

Uzbekistan must beat Kuwait to set-up a two-legged Asian playoff against Bahrain, with the winners going on to face the fourth-placed team from the CONCACAF region for a spot in next year's finals in Germany.

Espanyol to sign Argentina midfielder Zabaleta
 
MADRID, July 26 (Reuters) - Espanyol have reached an agreement to sign Argentina midfielder Pablo Zabaleta, the Primera Liga club said on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old, who moves from Argentina's San Lorenzo, will arrive in Barcelona on Wednesday to take a medical and sign a five-year contract.

The club will purchase all the rights to the player from an independent company.

Zabaleta captained Argentina to a 2-1 victory over Nigeria in the Under20 World Cup final on July 2.

Espanyol finished fifth in the league last season to earn a place in the UEFA Cup.

Codjo takes over as coach of Benin
 
COTONOU, July 26 (Reuters) - Edme Codjo has been named as the new coach of Benin, making him the fifth man to hold the position since African group phase qualifiers began for the 2006 World Cup a little over a year ago.

The appointment was announced by the Benin Football Federation ahead of the west African country's next World Cup qualifier at home to Sudan on August 17.

Codjo, who has won just two of 19 games in charge of the national side in two previous stints at the helm, replaces Serge Deveze after the Frenchman's contract expired earlier this month.

Benin have also used Ghana's Cecil Jones Attuquayefio, Wabi Gomez and Frenchman Herve Revelli as coaches in the current World Cup qualifying campaign.

Benin are fifth in Group 3 on two points after seven games and cannot advance to next year's finals in Germany.

Davids joins Tottenham on free transfer
 
LONDON, July 26 (Reuters) - Dutch international Edgar Davids has joined Tottenham Hotspur on a free transfer from Inter Milan, the Premier League club announced on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old midfielder, who wears distinctive eye glasses on the pitch as protection for glaucoma, will undergo a medical and agree personal terms later this week, the club said.

"He is one of the most versatile midfielders, a ball-winner with great stamina and huge charisma and one of the best midfielders to come out of the Netherlands in the last 10 years," Spurs coach Martin Jol told the club's website.
 
"This is a player who went to Barcelona when they were middle of the league and took them close to winning the title.

"It's terrific that he is joining us. This is the player we have spoken about who will lift the team's mentality. We have a young squad with an average age of 23 and I believe Edgar will come in and lead by example."

Davids, one of the most experienced midfielders in world football, joined Inter from Juventus last July having spent time on loan at Barcelona.

His previous clubs also include Ajax Amsterdam and AC Milan.

Spurs finished ninth in the Premier League last season. The north London side won the Peace Cup pre-season tournament in Korea on Sunday.
