UCLA Head Soccer Coach Charged In Admissions Fraud Scandal Resigns

Description

University of Southern California Los Angeles’ head men’s soccer coach, Jorge Salcedo resigned his post Thursday, school officials confirmed. Salcedo was one of nine current or former college coaches charged by federal prosecutors in Boston in connection with the admissions fraud scheme. According to court documents, Salcedo was among school officials who are accused of accepting bribes in exchange for designating admissions candidates as recruited athletes to increase their chances of gaining acceptance at elite universities. UCLA officials placed Salcedo on leave on last week after learning he was charged with accepting up to $200,000 for helping two students gain admission by posing as competitive soccer players.

  • Interview with Cesc Fabregas: "I want to coach at the highest level"

    La Turbie, France, Sep 28 (EFE).- At the tailend of a glittering professional career, Cesc Fábregas, one of the best European midfielders this century, is now a role model for the youngsters at AS Monaco. But as his playing career winds down, he is keeping one eye on his future after he hangs his boots up. “(In five years) I see myself coaching. I want to do it at the highest level,” the 34-year-old told Efe during an interview at the Ligue 1 club’s new training center, located on the outskirts of the luxurious city-state. A product of FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia youth academy and winner of the World Cup and European Championships with Spain, the former Arsenal and Chelsea star discussed Barça’s current challenges, his friend Lionel Messi’s arrival at Ligue 1 rivals Paris Saint-Germain and his role at AS Monaco. Question: How are you getting along with such a young squad like AS Monaco’s (with an average age of 24.3 years)?Answer: I am delighted to be here. I feel the love they have for me, and I feel the same way. I still see myself playing on for a while, but it is true that I have a slightly different role, on and off the pitch.Q: You’ve been at Monaco, one of France’s biggest clubs which is recovering from a turbulent period, for two and a half years.A: Last year we made a lot of progress (the team finished third in the league under new manager, former Bayern Munich boss Niko Kovac). This year we have not started well (the team has already been knocked out of the Champions League) but, little by little, we are on a winning path again. We are excited by the Europa League.Q: Were you surprised by how Messi left Barca?A: In football, everything can change in a matter of seconds. It was his turn this time, it’s happened to me many times. They are moments in life that you have to overcome in the best way possible. Leo is a super strong guy, very competitive. He will not have problems adjusting.Q: Several world class players have left Barcelona in similarly unexpected circumstances. What is happening at the club?A: Messi’s situation occurred during a period of instability at the club, but in the end, he will be seen as the best player in Barcelona’s history, and this will not change that. When he retires, he can have another farewell. Club legends should depart in a way that they deserve, that recognises what they have given to the club and the sport.Q: Seven years after your departure, how do you look back on those three seasons you spent at Barcelona (from 2011 to 2014)?A: It was a great experience. In the end, for one reason or another, lots of things can change in seconds. I have always been pretty independent, I left Barcelona at 15 years old. I did not need to be protected to know what I wanted. Changing scenery was never an issue for me.Q: Barcelona finally achieved a convincing result at the weekend (beating Levante 3-0). What do you make of the new generation of young talent coming out of La Masia?A: To foster a young talent, you need to give him opportunities. I am convinced that Spain has lots of talented young players who don’t get their chance to shine. Football is very impatient. However, I had (Arsene) Wenger, who played me when I was just 16 years old (...) In a normal situation, Barcelona would not have done that. Now, they are playing Gavi, who is 17, Nico (Gonzalez), Pedri, Puig (...) They are players who are carrying the load for a massive club going through turbulent times.Q: Which of them is your favorite?A: It’s not about who I like more or less, but we can see that Gavi has a lot of self-confidence that is unusual for someone his age. He is tireless, he is aggressive, you can see he wants to learn and do things the right way. If they continue like that, the future looks very bright.Q: The only trophy missing from your haul is the Champions League, which you almost won in 2006 with Arsenal, when they lost to Barcelona in the final.A: Name any final -- I have played in all of them. Even though I lost the Champions League final, I can say I played in one. I remember (in the 2006 final) that they took me off when we were leading 1-0. Thierry Henry had the chance to make it 2-0 in a one-on-one with Victor Valdes. I came off the pitch as a European champion, but then Samuel Eto’o equalised -- from an offside position. And then Belletti and Larson linked up on the wing to make it 2-1.Q: Where do you see yourself in five years?A: Retired from playing, and I see myself coaching. I want to do it at the highest level. I want to prepare myself really well. I don’t want to make the mistake of starting to coach from scratch at a big club. Creating your own style and approach takes time, although I think it’s obvious from my playing style what kind of manager I would like to become.Q: Who do you think have been the most important coaches in the last 20 years?A: Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti. Those are the three that come to mind. Q: Two of them have been your manager (Guardiola at Barcelona and Mourinho at Chelsea).A: I have been very lucky to be coached by the best and to play with the best.Q: You are also a legend at international level. What moments do you treasure most?A: Celebrations in Madrid that had never been seen before, and not only once, but three times (for the European Championships in 2008 and 2012, and the World Cup in 2010). On the pitch, my penalty in the shootout against Italy in the quarterfinals, my assist to (Andres) Iniesta for the goal in the World Cup final in 2010; another I provided for David Silva in final against Italy in 2012; and my penalty in the shootout against Portugal (in the semifinal in 2012).FOOTAGE AND SOUNDBITES FROM CESC FÁBREGAS, A MONACO PLAYER, FROM THE HIGH PERFORMANCE CENTER OF AS MONACO IN LA TURBIE, FRANCE.

  • Interview with Cameroon head coach, Toni Conceição

    Lisbon, Mar 23 (EFE) .- (Camera: Andrea Caballero de Mingo) Toni Conceição, the Portuguese coach of Cameroon, wants a double in 2022, the African Football Cup (CAF) and the World Cup in Qatar. "We want to reach the World Cup and, if possible, win it," he says in an interview with EFE.FOOTAGE OF THE INTERVIEW WITH Toni Conceição, CAMEROON HEAD COACHTRANSLATION- "We have to bear in mind that we are talking about the biggest event on the African continent and there are teams and national teams that at this moment are still fighting for qualification. Obviously the coaches are not satisfied and they feel limited and conditioned in their options.I understand the position of the clubs, who want to protect their players. The club is the one that pays their salaries. In my opinion, the competition can be altered because one thing is to play with the best and those with the best ability and another to play with other players. We are not talking about the same thing.It is one thing to make people feel that the decision is not good for football and a wrong decision, and another thing is to enter into conflict, which is not our intention. We spoke with all the players, because we made a call with 37 players, counting with those who were in all the continents, and then we faced the reality that there would be players in Europe who could not play. We talk to them, we tell them the decision. We don't want to create a bad environment for the players. We do not want to create a climate of conflict with the club, which is not what we want.André Onana is not available for the reason that he had a problem with an anti-doping control. But others like Onana saves networks do Ajax, Ekambi do Lyon, Ganago do Lens, Moukoudi do Saint Etienne, Castelletto do Nantes or Neyou do Saint Etienne are players who for the moment will not be part of this call.We are organizers, in Cameroon, a country that has a tradition of great results in the African Cup. The African people live the national team with great fervor and enthusiasm.The coronavirus is unfortunately exposed throughout the world. It is true that the health organization of each country is very careful. When we concentrate we have 5 or 6 control tests.We are a balanced team. You can think that the fight for the first place will be between the Ivory Coast and Cameroon. I do not think so. I think Mozambique can enter that fight because it has done a good grassroots job. And Malawi is always an obstacle because playing against Malawi is not easy.Queiroz dimensioned the training method and the mentality of the players. From there other coaches appeared. The demands of the courses and later with Mourinho, with other coaches who emigrated and dimensioned the Portuguese coach.If a proposal appeared to me in the future to return to Portugal with a project in conditions to be able to work, obviously I would never say no. I am Portuguese and I would never say no to Portugal.I have a special club where I started my career at the age of twelve and where I was a coach, it is the club of my heart. I am linked to the past, present and future of Braga.I have a passion for technical football, I have worked and it is a team that marked a whole world that was Guardiola's BarcelonaMessi, Ronaldo, although it is not possible.I would say five to six with great capabilities to win the Ballon d'Or in a short space of time. Mbappé of Paris Saint Germain could win a ball.To win. Go to the final and from there meet our objectives to give joy to the Cameroonian people who need it. "
