Italian Football: Italian Serie A 2015/2016 season preview
Juventus complete domestic double

Juventus Claimed Their fourth consecutive Scudetto with four games to spare last season, finishing 17 points clear of second-placed Roma. Coach Massimiliano Allegri, formerly in charge of Milan, proved many doubters wrong after replacing Antonio Conte last summer. His team completed the domestic double by beating Lazio 2-1 in extra time in the Italian Cup final, but have fallen short of a record-breaking treble after losing the UEFA Champions League final to Barcelona. Juve Became the first team in the history of the competition to get beaten in six finals and the Italian giants have now lost Their last four.

Champions: Juventus ( Champions League group stage )
Runners-up: Roma ( Champions League group stage )
Third place: Lazio ( Champions League play-off )
Fourth place: Fiorentina (Europa League group stage)
Fifth place: Napoli (Europa League group stage)
Seventh place: Sampdoria (Europa League QR3)
Relegated: Parma, Cesena, Cagliari
Promoted: Carpi, Frosinone, Bologna

Sampdoria finished seventh in Serie A and only qualified for the Europa League as city rivals Genoa, who finished sixth, were denied a UEFA license after missing a deadline to present documents and failing to name a suitable stadium to play in. Their home ground, the Stadio Luigi Ferrais, Which they share with Samp, Requires redevelopment work to meet UEFA standards. While Samp have organized to play Their games at Sassuolo's Mapei Stadium, Genoa Have not been incendio Their Own find alternatives in time. It was the second year in a row That a team has failed to receive permission to compete in Europe after Parma were denied Their license Because of late payment on a tax bill in 2014.


Fiorentina appoint Paulo Sousa as coach

Fiorentina have appointed as Their coach Paulo Sousa. The 44-year-old former Portugal midfielder has managed Queens Park Rangers, Swansea City and Leicester City in England, and left Basel this summer after winning the Swiss Super League in his only season with the club. He replaces Vincenzo Montella, who was sacked at the end of the season with the club citing a lack of respect from the Italian in his public comments. Montella guided Fiorentina to three successive Serie A fourth-place finishes but then criticised the club's supporters and his contract was terminated after Subsequent talks.

Milan Inzaghi replace with Mihajlovic

Milan have appointed Sinisa Mihajlovic on a two-year deal after sacking coach Filippo Inzaghi Following a year in charge at San Siro. Mihajlovic, who stood down as Sampdoria this summer, Becomes Milan's fourth coach in less than two years Following Inzaghi, Massimiliano Allegri and Clarence Seedorf. Since winning Serie A in 2011, Milan have finished second, third, eighth and 10th, 35 points behind champions Juventus, failing to qualify for Europe for a second consecutive season. Former Yugoslavia defender Mihajlovic, 46, had brief spells in charge at Bologna, Catania and Fiorentina before he was appointed coach of Serbia in April 2012. He joined Sampdoria in November 2013 and took them to 12th place That season, improving to seventh place last term .

Walter Zenga named new Sampdoria boss

Former Italy goalkeeper Walter Zenga is replacing Sinisa Mihajlovic as Sampdoria coach. Zenga previously Coached Catania, Palermo and many foreign clubs, guiding Steaua Bucharest and Red Star Belgrade to titles. The 55-year-old Has Been out of a job since leaving United Arab Emirates side Al Jazira a year ago, but Sampdoria knows well having spent two years as the club's goalkeeper from 1994 to 1996. Sampdoria had a disastrous start to the 2015 / 16 campaign as they were ousted by Serbian side Vojvodina 4-2 on aggregate in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. However, Zenga's biggest headache remains a replacement for defender Alessio Romagnoli who joined AC Milan this summer.

This page is introduction to the 2015/2016 Italian Serie A season. Latest news, statistics, results and predictions you can find on our main Euro Football> Italy page.

Napoli Sarri appoint Benitez as replacement

Napoli have named former Empoli coach Maurizio Sarri as the successor to Rafa Benitez, who joined Real Madrid this sumer. Benitez chose not to renew His contract after after missing out on a Champions League. After a long career in the lower divisions, Sarri Empoli took up from Serie B and guided them to a 15th-place finish, an achievement For which he was Rewarded with the Napoli job. The challenge lies in Naples at rejuvenating a team That fell short during two years under Benitez. They finished second Under His predecessor Walter Mazzarri in 2013 but could only Manage third place and then fifth place during the Spaniard's tenure.

Giampaolo gets Empoli job

Empoli have appointed Marco Giampaolo as Their new coach after Maurizio Sarri resigned from His post to join Napoli. Represents the move to return to Serie A for Giampaolo, who has previously had spells at Cagliari, Siena and Catania, among others. The 47-year-old was most recently employed at Pro League outfit Cremonese.

Stefano Colantuono named new manager Udinese

Stefano Colantuono Has Been confirmed as Udinese's new head coach after the club parted company with Andrea Stramaccioni. Udinese finished 16th in Serie A last season, Their worst league finish since being promoted to Serie A in 1994/95, Which Caused Stramaccioni to be sacked after just one year in charge. The club made a reasonable start to the campaign but in Their last 26 matches they won just four in all competitions and ended up just seven points clear of Cagliari who were relegated. Former Catania, Perugia, Palermo and Torino boss Colantuono Had Been out of work since being Dismissed by Atalanta in March after five years with the Bergamo side.

The final standings for the 2014/2015 Serie A season.

Juventus remain title favorites

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri insists That his team remain the favorites to win the Serie A title this campaign, but admits That the title race could be a whole lot closer this time around. The Bianconeri have lost some key performers, including Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo and Carlos Tevez, but snapped up Sami Khedira, Simone Zaza, Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic ahead of the new season. Allegri is expecting a stronger challenge this term, Particularly in light of the spending sprees at Milan and Inter.

Inter Milan and spent a lot after a very poor season, Which saw Both clubs end outside UEFA Europa League positions. Milan bought the likes of Carlos Bacca, Luiz Adriano and Alessio Romagnoli among others, while Inter added Geoffrey Kondogbia, Stevan Jovetic and kept their best players like Mauro Icardi and Samir Handanovic despite big offers from abroad. Roma, Lazio and Napoli anche made some impressive signings this summer, so it's Likely That this campaign will be harder for Juventus Compared to the past two where the title was almost DECIDED by March. Nonetheless, they're still heavy favorites for this season's Scudetto.

Football / Re: Breaking News: Brent Sancho is the new Minister of Sport
« on: February 03, 2015, 06:03:38 AM »
By supporting Sancho, are we supporting/helping the government who we appointed. If one is not happy with a government overall term of office, does that mean Everything they did was bad or made things worse? Worse than what ? If they do something good it happens to be a trick or luck? Forgive me, maybe I have read what real bad governments do, and I may be naive of the life/death of TT political agendas. I will leave the politics for those that know.

I have been satisfied with my observation of how Sancho has conducted himself so far, I wish him good luck and all the best.
This could be his finest duty. I feel it's a good choice. Regardless of what Sanch ultimate goal is. He could be President or Prime minister, once he maintains or exceeds the type of work I have seen, he good for me.
Nb: I am not extremely religous and not equating the man to a saviour , but..ppl don't have to belong to any party to help and support an individual help all his people, including oneself, unless you choose to.  Isn't that gang/tribe mentality .Is there really a them an them ?

Ex-LifeSport boss in alleged murder plot
 

 
Lawyer fears for clients’ safety
Ali, co-accused charged under Gang Act

Former LifeSport programme co-ordinator Rajaee Ali was among a group of six people, including a woman, who appeared in court yesterday charged with being part of a plot to assassinate radio announcer Kevaughn “Lerbz” Savory. The group was remanded into custody when they appeared before Nanette Forde-John in the Port-of-Spain Eighth Magistrate Court on a series of charges under the Anti-Gang Act related to a planned attack on Savory in Port-of-Spain last Thursday.
 
The other accused are Keshorn Dempster, Brent La Croix, Brandon Borneo, Donna Dyer and Ali’s brother, Ishmael. Ali was one of the former LifeSport officials who were probed by Ministry of Finance before the programme was shelved in July by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

Security at the court was increased significantly for yesterday’s hearing with burly police, dressed in riot gear and armed with automatic sub-machine guns, standing guard outside the courtroom and along St Vincent Street,  Port-of-Spain, which was blocked off when the accused arrived. Ali and his co-accused were not called upon to plead to the charges as they were laid indictably.

Although they all stood stone-faced with their hands crossed while the charges were being read, their demeanour changed as they were led out of court, with some turning around to smile and blow kisses at their relatives. While their lawyer Criston J Williams accepted that his clients would only be entitled to apply for bail in 120 days, as prescribed by the legislation, he asked that they be sent to the Maximum Security Prison (MSP), Arouca, as he said he was concerned for their safety.

“It is in the interest of the welfare of the accused that they be placed in MSP,” Williams said. Forde-John made a note of Williams’s concerns but said she did not have the authority to direct prison authorities on where to place remand prisoners. The magistrate also decided to defer Williams’s bail application for the non-gang-related charges to the next court hearing later this month.

Before the case was adjourned Williams made several requests for prosecutors to disclose evidence they had gathered in their investigation, including interviews with his clients and CCTV footage of their arrests. “It is my information that one of the police officers shot at their vehicle before they were arrested,” Williams said.

He also complained that his clients were not informed of the reason for their week-long detention before they were charged yesterday. He also asked whether their cellphone conversations had been illegally recorded by police. “I am requesting copies of judges’ warrants pursuant to the Interception of Communication Act of 2010,” Williams said.

Police prosecutor Richard Taylor told Williams his requests would be urgently addressed by investigators and also promised to tender into evidence the gun and seven rounds of ammunition allegedly found in the group’s car at the next hearing. The group, who are also being represented by attorney Darryl Worrell, will reappear in court on December 22.

The charges
 Ali, 28, whose father is the head of the Jamaat-al-Muslimeen mosque in Carapo, is charged with being a gang leader. He and the others were all charged with being members of an unnamed gang. The group was also jointly charged with conspiring to murder Savory and with assisting a gang member in the commission of a gang-related act by possessing a gun and ammunition.

All, except Rajaee Ali, were charged with being in possession of an illegal gun and ammunition with the intention to use it under the direction of a gang leader. Ishmael was charged for being in possession of a gun and ammunition and for assaulting a man, identified as Gilmore Thomas, when he, Dempster, La Croix, Borneo, Ishmael and Dyer were arrested while in a car in Woodbrook last Thursday night.

Ali, who is on bail after being charged with possession of a lappe carcass during the ongoing hunting ban, was arrested on Tuesday night.

Savory responds
In a brief interview yesterday, Savory, a radio announcer with Guardian Media Ltd’s Slam 100.5FM, said he was “shocked and disturbed” by the reports. He said he had spoken to his lawyers yesterday and had been advised not to comment further. “It’s a scary thing. That’s all I can say,” the 27-year-old announcer said. Savory has had a career in media and entertainment for over ten years and currently works in both radio and television.

Last year he hosted the finals of the International Soca Monarch competition.

About the programme
In August 2011, Cabinet agreed to implementation of the LifeSport programme by the Ministry of Sport, through the Sport Company of T&T.  It was launched in June 2012 and started in August 2012. Up to the time of the audit, the programme was being run in 43 centres throughout T&T for young men 16-25.

The audit team prepared a damning report after examining the programme’s payment process, centres, co-ordinators, coaches, participants, catering services, janitorial services, maintenance of recreation grounds, refurbishment of community centres, rentals, purchases, vocational training (trade component) and EBeam Interact Ltd.
