New Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli says getting the best out of Lionel Messi and reaching the 2018 World Cup are his greatest challenges in the role.
Sampaoli, 57, has taken over as coach of his home country after leaving Spanish club Sevilla after one season.
Barcelona forward Messi, 29, announced his retirement from international football in June 2016 before reversing his decision two months later.
“I spoke with Leo and we’re both excited,” said Sampaoli.
“It’s a boost for us to see how excited he is with this new stage [for Argentina].”
Messi has scored 58 goals in 117 appearances for Argentina yet the 1978 and 1986 world champions currently sit outside an automatic qualifying spot for next year’s World Cup in Russia after six wins in 14 qualifying games.
Their last four qualifiers are against Uruguay (away) on 31 August, Venezuela (home) on 5 September, Peru (home) on 5 October and Ecuador (away) on 10 October.
“The South American qualifiers are very complicated. There are some very good teams trying to do the same thing as us,” added Sampaoli, who has signed a deal until the 2022 World Cup.
Argentina sacked Edgardo Bauza in April after eight matches as coach.






Chelsea were paid £150.8m by the Premier League after winning the 2016-17 title – 50% more than the top earners in 2015-16.
The 2016-17 season was the first of the latest TV deal and saw a total of almost £2.4bn paid to the 20 clubs – up from £1.6bn last season.
Bottom club Sunderland got £93.471m – more than the £93.219m 2015-16 winners Leicester pocketed the previous season.
The figures are based on broadcast and commercial deals plus prize money.
Funds from the Premier League’s central commercial deals and overseas broadcast rights are shared equally – as is half of the domestic broadcast income.
A quarter is paid out in prize money based on each club’s league position and the other quarter in “facility fees” for each game broadcast on UK television.
Arsenal were the top earners in 2015-16 with £100.9m – but only the three relegated sides of Hull, Middlesbrough and Sunderland were paid less than that figure in 2016-17.
The ratio between the highest and lowest totals paid by the Premier League to its clubs in 2016-17 was 1.61 to 1, the lowest among Europe’s top leagues, which means the Premier League is more equal when it comes to sharing revenue than its rivals.
The Premier League also paid out nearly £220m to Aston Villa, Cardiff, Fulham, Newcastle, Norwich, QPR, Reading and Wigan in parachute payments.
Villa, Newcastle and Norwich – the relegated sides in 2016 – got almost £41m each.




UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin, has insisted that Champions League knockout matches, will not be played on weekends.
There have been speculations that from 2021, the quarter-final stage of the competition onwards could be switched to weekends. The current format sees only the final played on a Saturday, while the other games are played on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
That could put UEFA on a collision course with the Premier League, although the fixture congestion created could be eased by the Champions League losing its round-of-16 stage, which is played across four weeks.
Ceferin told reporters after a UEFA executive committee meeting in Cardiff on Thursday: “We are not discussing playing Champions League matches for weekends.
“He [Richard Scudamore] is very productive and very positive. He is, for sure, one of those pushing that side to come closer to UEFA, and I am the one pushing UEFA’s side to come close to the EPL.”




Bulgarian Bogdan Dochev – the assistant referee who failed to spot Maradona’s Hand of God goal against England at the 1986 World Cup – has died aged 80.
Argentina won the quarter-final tie 2-1 – with Tunisian referee Ali Bin Nasser later claiming he was waiting for Dochev to give him an indication of whether he had seen anything.
Dochev said later: “Diego Maradona ruined my life. He is a brilliant footballer but a small man.
“He is low in height and as a person.”
Discussing the incident with the Bulgarian media a few years ago, he added: “Although I felt immediately there was something irregular, back in that time FIFA didn’t allow the assistants to discuss the decisions with the referee.
“If Fifa had put a referee from Europe in charge of such an important game, the first goal of Maradona would have been disallowed.”
TV pictures showed Bin Nasser looking towards Dochev as he was running back towards the centre circle after the goal had been scored.
And Bin Nasser added: “I was waiting for Dochev to give me a hint of what exactly happened but he didn’t signal for a handball.
“The instructions Fifa gave us before the game were clear – if a colleague was in a better position than mine, I should respect his view.”
Dochev was Bulgaria’s top referee in the 1970s and 1980s and also officiated at the 1982 World Cup. He took charge of the first leg of the 1983 Uefa Cup final between Anderlecht and Benfica.

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, on Thursday said it would not release results of candidates identified in footages of Close Circuit Television, CCTV, to have indulged in malpractices during the just concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
This was disclosed by JAMB registrar, Ishaq Oloyede, who spoke as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.
According to him, the agency had been busy reviewing recorded footages of the examination across the country.
He disclosed that a number of candidates had been marked out for sanction.
Oloyede, “Those who have not received (their results) are qualified not to receive for now. In all cases where there were no problems, we released results of the examination within 24 hours.
“But those who have not (received their results), they may not be culpable but we are investigating. Where we have reason to doubt anything or where we have report of anything that is not acceptable to us, we have withheld the results.
“And we will keep on releasing them as we clear them. For instance, this morning, we released another 15,000 results.
“But among those who sat in that centre, we have reasons, concrete evidence to say about 300 of them, their results will not be released because we know they were not in the hall where the examination took place.
“We are comparing those who sat for the examination, how long they sat in the hall, and how some of them took excuses that they were going to the toilet only to go to what they called VIP…
“All this we are now able to track. And we want to say that we will not hesitate to sanction anybody no matter how highly placed.”
Oloyede further explained that the CCTV cameras deployed at every Computer Based Test, CBT, centres across the country helped JAMB to detect and arrest unwholesome practices.




Teachers may soon earn higher salaries than other workers in the country. Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu dropped the hint while inaugurating the Governing Councils of Federal Colleges of Education in Abuja on Thursday.
He said the teaching profession had ceased to be an “all-comers affairs”.
Represented by the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Anthony Gozie Anwukah, he said government had understudied the Malaysian educational system and decided to take a critical look at teaching and teacher education.
He, however, sounded a note of warning that teachers across all levels must register with the Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) before the end of this year or risk being sent out of the system.
The minister noted that Malaysia in the quest for greatness had reorganised its educational sector for effective development of human resources to take it to the present position.
He said: “What they did was to bring down the whole system and resuscitated the education sector. Their planning was geared towards the development of human resources. In Malaysia, many of those who scored the highest in their equivalent of our JAMB compete to be teachers.
“If you are a teacher in Malaysia, you are ranked higher than any other worker in the country. This is why you would find people with PhDs teaching in primary schools. We have made that recommendation and we are going to implement it in Nigeria,” he said.
