He was known through most of his life for founding numerous schools in both Egypt and Greece . Biography . George Averoff was an Aromanian ( Vlach ) . He moved to Cairo , Egypt , in 1837 to work in a shop run by his brother , Anastasios . Thanks to his bold tactics and business activities he became the biggest merchant in Egypt . At the same time he participated in banking and real estate ( buying and leasing land ) while , thanks to his many riverboats travelling up and down the Nile , he managed to dominate Egypt’s domestic and foreign trade . The Greek historian Antonios Chaldeos , who has written his PhD thesis about the history of the Greeks in Sudan , suggests that based on local histories in Sudan that Averoff was heavily involved in slave-trade there . In fact , the Omdurman quarter of Abu Ruf , where historically the slave-market was situated , is still today named after him . His business activities resulted his accumulating vast wealth , which he used to donate to charity and common good purposes . His charity work included significant donations for the development of educational and other infrastructure projects for the Greek communities of Alexandria , Metsovo , Athens and for the Greek state in general . Among them , the most notable ones were the founding of the School of Agriculture in Larisa , the construction of the Evelpidon Military Academy , the donation to the Athens Conservatory , the donation for the refurbishment of the Panathenian Stadium ( raised by another two Aromanian benefactors ) , where the first modern Olympic Games were held , the completion of the National Technical University of Athens and the donation for building of the namesake flagship of the Greek Navy . The restoration of the Panathenian Stadium for the 1896 Summer Olympics was done at the request of Crown Prince Constantine . The stadium was refurbished in 1895 , its second refurbishment in the 19th century , using white marble from Mount Penteli pursuant to Averoffs request . The cost was initially estimated at 585,000 drachmas but eventually reached 920,000 drachmas . Averoff also served as a member of the reception committee for the foreign competitors at the Games . Averoff died in Alexandria in 1899 . In gratitude for his generous donations and services , the Greek state declared him a Major National Benefactor and commissioned a marble statue of him which was placed in front of the Panathenian Stadium . It remains there today . On 12 March 1910 , the armoured cruiser flagship of the Hellenic Navy , Georgios Averof , was named in his honour , thanks to a bequest of 300,000 GBP ( 2,500,000 Gold francs ) left to the navy by the terms of his Will & Testament .

His business activities resulted his accumulating vast wealth , which he used to donate to charity and common good purposes . His charity work included significant donations for the development of educational and other infrastructure projects for the Greek communities of Alexandria , Metsovo , Athens and for the Greek state in general . Among them , the most notable ones were the founding of the School of Agriculture in Larisa , the construction of the Evelpidon Military Academy , the donation to the Athens Conservatory , the donation for the refurbishment of the Panathenian Stadium ( raised by another two Aromanian benefactors ) , where the first modern Olympic Games were held , the completion of the National Technical University of Athens and the donation for building of the namesake flagship of the Greek Navy . The restoration of the Panathenian Stadium for the 1896 Summer Olympics was done at the request of Crown Prince Constantine . The stadium was refurbished in 1895 , its second refurbishment in the 19th century , using white marble from Mount Penteli pursuant to Averoffs request . The cost was initially estimated at 585,000 drachmas but eventually reached 920,000 drachmas . Averoff also served as a member of the reception committee for the foreign competitors at the Games . Averoff died in Alexandria in 1899 . In gratitude for his generous donations and services , the Greek state declared him a Major National Benefactor and commissioned a marble statue of him which was placed in front of the Panathenian Stadium . It remains there today . On 12 March 1910 , the armoured cruiser flagship of the Hellenic Navy , Georgios Averof , was named in his honour , thanks to a bequest of 300,000 GBP ( 2,500,000 Gold francs ) left to the navy by the terms of his Will & Testament .

Which team was coached by Vahid Halilhodžić in May 1991?
|
Vahid Halilhodžić Vahid Halilhodžić ( ; born 15 May 1952 ) is a Bosnian professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of the Morocco national team . Regarded as one of the best Yugoslav players in the 1970s and 1980s , Halilhodžić had successful playing spells with Velež Mostar and French clubs Nantes and Paris Saint-Germain before retiring in the mid-1980s . During that time , he earned 15 full international caps for Yugoslavia and was part of national squads who won the 1978 European Under-21 Championship and played at the 1982 FIFA World Cup . He was best scorer of the French league in 1983 and 1985 . In the early 1990s , he turned to coaching and , after a short stint as a sporting director at his hometown club Velež , permanently moved to France in 1993 . Since then , he managed a number of teams in French-speaking countries and his achievements include winning the 1997 CAF Champions League with Moroccan side Raja Casablanca , leading the French side Lille from second level to third place in Ligue 1 in less than three years , and winning the 2004 Coupe de France with Paris Saint-Germain . He also qualified for the 2010 World Cup with the Ivory Coast ( although he was sacked only months before the final tournament ) and the 2014 World Cup with Algeria , with whom he reached Round of 16 , Algerias best result in history . Later , he qualified for the 2018 World Cup with Japan , but again was fired just prior to the tournament . After a short stint with FC Nantes in 2018 , where he helped avoid relegation in Ligue 2 , Vahid became head coach of the National team of Morocco . Playing career . Early life and Velež . Born in Jablanica , Halilhodžić started playing football in his early teens at local minnows FK Turbina Jablanica , as the clubs ground was located some 100 metres from his family home . According to his admission , he did not consider becoming a professional footballer at the time and instead chose to continue his formal education , moving to the nearby city of Mostar at age 14 to study at the local electrotechnical high school , without ever appearing for Turbina in an official match . Nevertheless , it was in Mostar that he first started taking football seriously as he went on to join Yugoslav First League side Velež Mostar academy at age 16 , in part on the insistence of his brother Salem , who at the time played for the club as a striker . Halilhodžić then went on to play there at youth levels for the next two and a half years , and , upon signing a professional contract with the club , was sent on a six-month loan to second level side Neretva Metković to gain some experience . Upon his return from loan , he quickly broke into the first-team squad in the 1972–73 season , forming a successful attacking partnership with Dušan Bajević and helping Velež finish the season as league runners-up behind Red Star Belgrade . Halilhodžić then went on to become one of the clubs key players throughout the 1970s , appearing in a total of 376 matches and scoring 253 goals for the club ( including 207 appearances and 103 goals in the Yugoslav First League ) before leaving the country in September 1981 to join French side Nantes . Earlier that year , he was instrumental in winning the clubs first major silverware , scoring two goals in their 3–2 Yugoslav Cup final win against Željezničar . Nantes and PSG . At Nantes , he struggled in his first year although he quickly became a first-team regular , scoring 7 goals in 28 appearances in the 1981–82 season . He also got sent off in the first round of the UEFA Cup vs . Lokeren and received a 4 matches suspension from UEFA . The following season , he helped Nantes win their sixth French championship title and was the leagues top scorer with 27 goals in 36 appearances . Halilhodžić went on to spend five years at La Beaujoire , appearing in a total of 163 league matches and scoring 92 goals for the club , also becoming league top scorer in the 1984–85 season with 28 goals . In 1986 , Halilhodžić decided to return to Mostar so he could spend more time with his father , who in the meantime fell seriously ill . While negotiating a new contract with Nantes , he intentionally asked for a salary bigger than anything the club could afford so that he could be released and return home . However , Francis Borelli , chairman of Paris Saint-Germain , stepped in and made him a fantastic offer to sign a one-year contract , with the intention of bringing Halilhodžić to Parc des Princes in order to strengthen the team for their upcoming 1986–87 European Cup campaign . Halilhodžić accepted the offer and went on to appear for the club in the first 18 games of the 1986–87 season , scoring eight goals . However , his mother back home died during the season , and it was then that Halilhodžić decided to finally retire from active football . International career . Halilhodžić was capped 15 times for the Yugoslavia national team , scoring eight goals . After debuting as a full international in June 1976 , he also appeared in a few matches for Yugoslavia under-21 team in 1978 , helping them win the 1978 European Under-21 Championship where he claimed the Golden Player award for the best player in the tournament . Halilhodžić , who was 26 at the time , took advantage of the rule that allowed two players over the age of 21 to participate – hence him and Velimir Zajec ( who had also already debuted for Yugoslavia full squad in 1977 ) were the two senior players brought in to strengthen the under-21 squad . Spanning nine years , Halilhodžićs time with the national team was marked by frequently alternating ups and downs , periods of automatic inclusion followed by years-long omissions and frustrating substitute stints . He made his debut as a substitute at UEFA Euro 1976 under head coach Biće Mladinić during the third place match versus Holland that Yugoslavia lost 2–3 at Zagrebs Maksimir Stadium . The 23-year-old Halilhodžić came on for Slaviša Žungul . Over the next couple of years , he recorded two more substitute appearances – first in September 1976 in a friendly against Italy in Rome and in November 1977 at home against Spain ( the infamously violent qualifying home loss at Belgrades Marakana that ended Yugoslavias chances of going to the 1978 World Cup ) . Euro 80 qualifying . It was not until October 1978 that now 26-year-old Halilhodžić ( riding high from his under-21 European championship win ) got his first national team start – the opening Euro 80 qualifying clash versus Spain at home in Maksimir . With his first inclusion in the starting lineup by returning coach Mladinić also came his first goal – Yugoslavia was down 0–2 in the first half when Halilhodžić pulled one back in the 44th minute for 1–2 , which ended up being the final score as Yugoslavia again lost at home to Spain . With his performance versus Spain , Halilhodžićs stock was somewhat raised and as a result he got to start the next qualifier away at Romania that Yugoslavia also lost , this time 2–3 . The second consecutive qualifier loss prompted the end of Biće Mladinićs time as head coach – he got replaced by interim coach Dražan Jerković . Halilhodžić played the next friendly match under Jerković , scoring a hat-trick against Greece . The resumption of Euro 1980 qualifying five months later in April 1979 saw the return of Miljan Miljanić to the Yugoslav bench as the FAs permanent solution at the head coaching position . Miljanić made major changes to the team he inherited from Mladinić with Halilhodžić one of the many casualties . The changes worked as Yugoslavia won its remaining four qualifiers ( including a win away at Spain ) as well as its two friendlies versus Italy and Argentina ( none of the six matches featured Halilhodžić ) , but the opening two losses still proved too much to overcome as Plavi finished a point behind Spain in the group and did not progress to Euro 1980 . 1982 World Cup . Halilhodžić made two substitute appearances at the 1982 World Cup : playing the last 15 minutes of the controversial group match versus Spain as well as the entire second half against Honduras . For the position of forward at the tournament , Miljanić preferred Safet Sušić , and in his later interviews , Halilhodžić often expressed dismay with head coach Miljanić for not giving him a more prominent role in the Yugoslav team at the 1982 World Cup . On more than one occasion in the 2000s and 2010s , a retired Halilhodžić expressed bitterness over not getting a bigger part in the national team during the 1970s and 1980s , sarcastically citing the fact my surname was too long for Belgrade scoreboards , thus insinuating that he feels the fact he is a Muslim may have been the reason for his modest playing time in the national team . Managerial career . Raja Casablanca . In July 1997 , he signed with Moroccan side Raja Casablanca . In his first season with the club , he won the 1997 CAF Champions League in December 1997 , and the 1997–98 Moroccan Championship in May 1998 . These successes raised his international profile . Lille . In October 1998 , he returned to France to coach Lille , which at the time was struggling to survive in the French Division 2 . His first season at the club ended with Lille finishing fourth , missing a promotion spot on goal difference . In the 1999–2000 season , Halilhodžićs club dominated the competition and finished top of table , 16 points clear of second-placed Guingamp , earning promotion to the French Ligue 1 . Lilles strong performances on the pitch continued the following season , and they finished third in the 2000–01 French Division 1 , only seven points behind champions Nantes , thus qualifying for the 2001–02 UEFA Champions League for the first time in clubs history . The following season , after knocking out Parma in qualifying , Lille finished third in group stage behind Deportivo de La Coruña and Manchester United , progressing to the 2001–02 UEFA Cup where they reached the Round of 16 before being knocked out by Borussia Dortmund on away goals . During his time with Lille , Halilhodžić became very famous in France because of his professionalism and knowledge of tactics , and was nicknamed Coach Vahid . After ending the 2001–02 season in fifth place , he decided to quit the club in June 2002 , citing a lack of ambition of its directors . Rennes . On 14 October 2002 , he was hired by another Ligue 1 club , Rennes , to save them from relegation after the club had picked up only eight points in the opening ten matches of the season under Philippe Bergeroo . Halilhodžić then managed to take the club to a 15th-place finish in the 20-club league , avoiding relegation zone by two points . After his successes with Lille and Rennes , he started to become one of the most sought after coaches in Europe , and whilst receiving offers from several German and Spanish clubs , he joined Paris Saint-Germain in June 2003 . Paris Saint-Germain . During his first season at the helm of PSG , the club experienced one of the greatest and unexpectedly successful seasons in its history by winning the 2003–04 Coupe de France and arriving second in the 2003–04 Ligue 1 , just three points behind Lyon , qualifying for the 2004–05 Champions League . Halilhodžićs second season at the club , however , was not a success . From their opening Champions League group stage 0–3 home loss to Chelsea , to their domestic league struggling results , PSG never succeeded in replicating the winning form of the previous season . Going into the final round of Champions League group stage fixtures in December 2004 , Halilhodžićs team still had a chance of advancing as beating CSKA Moscow at home would have seen PSG move on to the knockout stage . Even just a draw combined with group leaders Chelsea winning or drawing away at Porto would have ensured progress while a draw regardless of the other match outcome guaranteed at least a spot in the UEFA Cup round of 32 . The club , however , suffered a disappointing 1–3 defeat at its home stadium , courtesy of a Sergei Semak hat-trick , which meant straight elimination from Europe . It was a bitter loss that even prompted club president Francis Graille to publicly relay his disappointment at the lack of pride shown by the squad , though remaining guardedly coy when explicitly asked about Halilhodžićs future at the club . Now with only domestic competition to worry about , PSG began the calendar year 2005 looking to improve its league standing . Sluggish form continued , however , and on 8 February 2005 , following a 0–2 defeat at home versus Lens that saw PSG drop to 12th spot in the 2004–05 Ligue 1 table , the clubs management decided to sack Halilhodžić . He was replaced by the coach of the reserves team , Laurent Fournier , under whom the club was knocked out of 2004–05 Coupe de France by Auxerre in March and eventually finished ninth in the league . Trabzonspor . On 2 October 2005 , Halilhodžić was signed by Turkish Süper Lig side Trabzonspor . Although he led the club to fourth place in the 2005–06 Süper Lig , just behind Istanbuls Big Three , thus qualifying for the 2006–07 UEFA Cup , Halilhodžić decided to leave Turkey in June 2006 after just one season with the club . Ivory Coast . In May 2008 , Halilhodžić was hired to train the Ivory Coast national team , captained by Didier Drogba and including the likes of Yaya and Kolo Touré , Salomon Kalou , Emmanuel Eboué and the young Gervinho . In a two-year unbeaten run in African qualifiers , the team qualified for both the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Angola and the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa . In January 2010 in the quarter-finals of the continental championship against Algeria , however , the Ivory Coast were eliminated after Madjid Bougherra scored a 2–2 equaliser in injury time , with Hameur Bouazza adding Algerias third goal in the opening minutes of extra time . The defeat came as a huge disappointment for many Ivorians , for whom the national football team played a central social role and a source of national pride and unity , especially as the country was recovering from the 2002–07 civil war and preparing for its first post-war elections in October that year . As a consequence , Halilhodžić was fired on 27 February 2010 , less than four months before the 2010 World Cup finals tournament in South Africa . Dinamo Zagreb . Back in Europe , Halilhodžić was announced as the new coach of Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb on 16 August 2010 , signing a two-and-a-half-year-long contract . He came in to replace club legend Velimir Zajec , who had been fired after being knocked in Champions League qualifying on penalties against Moldovan club Sheriff Tiraspol . Although this meant the club had been eliminated from the Champions League , Dinamo still qualified for the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League , and Halilhodžić was tasked with successfully guiding Dinamos European campaign while continuing their dominance in the national championship . Club fans immediately took to Halilhodžić , as Dinamo started playing an attractive and a more attacking style of football . On 16 September , exactly one month after signing his contract , he led Dinamo to a somewhat improbable 2–0 victory over Spanish side Villarreal at the start of the group stage . Despite some encouraging results early in the season , however , Dinamo eventually failed to progress past the group stage , losing the deciding match in December at home against Greek club PAOK . Despite the setback , Halilhodžić stayed on due to support of both the fans and club management . In the 2010–11 Croatian First League the club was a runaway leader without any real competition . Towards the end of the season , issues arose over the renegotiation of terms of his contract , and on 6 May 2011 he abruptly left the club following a vicious shouting incident with Dinamos president Zdravko Mamić in the team dressing room during half-time of the league match versus Inter Zaprešić at Maksimir . Algeria . On 22 June 2011 , the Algerian Football Federation announced that Halilhodžić would take over the vacant Algeria national team manager position starting on 1 July . On 2 July , the deal was made official with Halilhodžić signing a three-year contract . He successfully led Algeria through the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification and in preparation for the finals tournament to be held in January 2013 in South Africa , the team invited Bosnia and Herzegovina ( Halilhodžićs country of birth ) for a friendly match in November 2012 . Algeria lost 0–1 in injury time on a rainy night in Algiers . Despite arriving at the final tournament with plenty of confidence and with the emergence of young stars Islam Slimani and El Arbi Hillel Soudani , as well as the addition to the squad of talented Valencia winger Sofiane Feghouli , Algeria finished bottom of their group , losing their opening two matches to Tunisia and Togo without scoring a single goal . Although the result was widely regarded as a disappointment , the Algerian Football Federation decided to keep Halilhodžić in charge and allow the team to gain more experience . Now focusing on the 2014 World Cup qualifiers , Algeria under Halilhodžić secured a spot at the finals tournament on 19 November 2013 having beaten the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations runners-up Burkina Faso in a two-legged tie on away goals rule following a 3–3 aggregate score in the African qualifying play-offs . This was only the fourth time the country qualified for a World Cup in 32 years . Algerias performance at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was a significant surprise as they beat South Korea 4–2 and drew with Russia 1–1 to progress past the group stage for the first time in the teams history . In the round of 16 , Les Fennecs had to face a very strong Germany side . Although Algeria put up a very spirited resistance , they lost the game after a goalless 90 minutes , followed by extra time in which Germany scored twice through André Schürrle and Mesut Özil , with substitute Abdelmoumene Djabou pulling back one in the dying moments of the game to make it 1–2 . Germany later went on to deliver a historic 7–1 thrashing of hosts Brazil and win their fourth World Cup title . Despite the exit , Algerias performance was the teams biggest success in history and Halilhodžić was frequently praised for his strategic counter-attacking tactics , calm yet motivating influence on the players , and skillful game management . Although he was offered a contract extension after the tournament , on 7 July 2014 he left the team in tears . Japan . On 7 March 2015 , it was reported that Halilhodžić would take over as the Japan national teams new manager . He was officially appointed on 12 March , replacing Javier Aguirre , who had been sacked over his involvement in a 2011 match-fixing investigation in Spain . Prior to this appointment , Halilhodžić was one of the shortlisted candidates for managing Bosnia and Herzegovina , but he rejected that offer after having two meetings with the Bosnian Football Association . In June 2016 , Halilhodžićs Japan hosted Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 2016 Kirin Cup , losing 1–2 . In Sept 2016 , the 2018 World Cup qualifying final round was kicked off . Six teams including Japan , Saudi Arabia and Australia scramble for two direct qualifying spots . In the first match Japan was unexpectedly beaten 1–2 by UAE because of a wrongly disallowed Japanese goal . Nevertheless , the Japanese media called questions on his selection of squad . Since then , media criticism of his strategy and his selection of squad has haunted him throughout his office . He abandoned the decade-long Japanese traditional playing style of short passes , instead , he emphasized intense fighting for the ball ( as he called it in French , duel ) and quick pace football . His most controversial call was to drop Keisuke Honda ( AC Milan ) , Shinji Kagawa ( Dortmund ) and Shinji Okazaki ( Leicester ) . Another controversial call was to put Hotaru Yamaguchi , a player in the domestic second division , to his starting lineup . Finishing the group with 6 wins , 2 draws , 2 losses with 7 conceded goals , Japans performance was inconsistent , yet it secured crucial victories at critical moments to earn itself the top spot . The two critical moments was first , winning 2–1 against Saudi Arabia in November 2016 to end the first half of the group matches in the first place ; second , beating Australia 2–0 in August 2017 to secure top spot and qualified to the 2018 FIFA World Cup . It is at these two moments the Japanese media temporarily admitted Halilhodžić is right on his strategy and his selection of squad . Yet they were called into questions once again after Japans poor performance in the international friendlies in October and November against Haiti , Brazil and Belgium . In December , Halilhodžić summoned his second and third team to 2017 East Asian Cup . Half of the team were uncapped . This unconventional inexperienced Japan team lost to South Korea 1–4 . The Japanese media saw this as a humiliating defeat . Without realizing the Japan–South Korea football rivalry , Halilhodžić comments I was amazed by South Koreas explosiveness of power , technique and control of the game . South Korea dominated us in every way . His comments made himself under siege by the Japanese media for weeks , ultimately resulting in his dismissal , with former international Akira Nishino replacing him . JFA President Kozo Tashima told reporters at a news conference , that poor results and a lack of “communication and trust” with the players as the reasons for Halilhodžićs dismissal . Halilhodžićs spiky personality frequently ruffled feathers after arriving in Japan to take over from Javier Aguirre in March 2015 , and rumors of his impending dismissal swirled throughout his three-year reign . On 24 May 2018 , Halilhodžić launched a lawsuit against the JFA and its president Kozo Tashima . In July 2018 , he was on a 4-man shortlist for the vacant Egyptian national team manager job . Nantes . In October 2018 , Halilhodžić became the new manager of FC Nantes , a club he had played for as a striker . His first win came on 22 October when Nantes beat Toulouse 4–0 at the Stade de la Beaujoire . On 5 May 2019 , Nantes beat Dijon at home 3–0 and Halilhodžić made a club record , winning five Ligue 1 matches in a row , a venture which was not done in over 18 years in the club . Halilhodžićs Nantes beat Lyon , Paris Saint-Germain , Amiens , Marseille and at the end Dijon to capture that record . On 2 August 2019 , Halilhodžić decided to leave Nantes after disagreements with the clubs owner and president Waldemar Kita . Morocco . In August 2019 , it was confirmed that Halilhodžić would take over as the Morocco national teams new manager . His first win came on 10 September when Moroccan beat Niger 1–0 at the Stade de Marrakech . Personal life . During the Bosnian War in 1992 , Halilhodžić was wounded in Mostar but recovered within a few months . He left Mostar in May 1993 due to threats received from the Croatian Defence Council ( HVO ) as the armed conflict between Bosniaks and Croats escalated in Herzegovina . Following his departure , his house was looted and burned down . On 23 July 2004 , during his tenure as the manager of PSG , Halilhodžić received Chevalier of the Légion dHonneur of the French Republic . Halilhodžić is married and has two children . His primary residence is in Lille , where his family lives . He speaks Bosnian and French , the result of spending most of his time in France . Honours . Player .

Which team was coached by Vahid Halilhodžić between Oct 1998 and Jul 1999?
|
Vahid Halilhodžić Vahid Halilhodžić ( ; born 15 May 1952 ) is a Bosnian professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of the Morocco national team . Regarded as one of the best Yugoslav players in the 1970s and 1980s , Halilhodžić had successful playing spells with Velež Mostar and French clubs Nantes and Paris Saint-Germain before retiring in the mid-1980s . During that time , he earned 15 full international caps for Yugoslavia and was part of national squads who won the 1978 European Under-21 Championship and played at the 1982 FIFA World Cup . He was best scorer of the French league in 1983 and 1985 . In the early 1990s , he turned to coaching and , after a short stint as a sporting director at his hometown club Velež , permanently moved to France in 1993 . Since then , he managed a number of teams in French-speaking countries and his achievements include winning the 1997 CAF Champions League with Moroccan side Raja Casablanca , leading the French side Lille from second level to third place in Ligue 1 in less than three years , and winning the 2004 Coupe de France with Paris Saint-Germain . He also qualified for the 2010 World Cup with the Ivory Coast ( although he was sacked only months before the final tournament ) and the 2014 World Cup with Algeria , with whom he reached Round of 16 , Algerias best result in history . Later , he qualified for the 2018 World Cup with Japan , but again was fired just prior to the tournament . After a short stint with FC Nantes in 2018 , where he helped avoid relegation in Ligue 2 , Vahid became head coach of the National team of Morocco . Playing career . Early life and Velež . Born in Jablanica , Halilhodžić started playing football in his early teens at local minnows FK Turbina Jablanica , as the clubs ground was located some 100 metres from his family home . According to his admission , he did not consider becoming a professional footballer at the time and instead chose to continue his formal education , moving to the nearby city of Mostar at age 14 to study at the local electrotechnical high school , without ever appearing for Turbina in an official match . Nevertheless , it was in Mostar that he first started taking football seriously as he went on to join Yugoslav First League side Velež Mostar academy at age 16 , in part on the insistence of his brother Salem , who at the time played for the club as a striker . Halilhodžić then went on to play there at youth levels for the next two and a half years , and , upon signing a professional contract with the club , was sent on a six-month loan to second level side Neretva Metković to gain some experience . Upon his return from loan , he quickly broke into the first-team squad in the 1972–73 season , forming a successful attacking partnership with Dušan Bajević and helping Velež finish the season as league runners-up behind Red Star Belgrade . Halilhodžić then went on to become one of the clubs key players throughout the 1970s , appearing in a total of 376 matches and scoring 253 goals for the club ( including 207 appearances and 103 goals in the Yugoslav First League ) before leaving the country in September 1981 to join French side Nantes . Earlier that year , he was instrumental in winning the clubs first major silverware , scoring two goals in their 3–2 Yugoslav Cup final win against Željezničar . Nantes and PSG . At Nantes , he struggled in his first year although he quickly became a first-team regular , scoring 7 goals in 28 appearances in the 1981–82 season . He also got sent off in the first round of the UEFA Cup vs . Lokeren and received a 4 matches suspension from UEFA . The following season , he helped Nantes win their sixth French championship title and was the leagues top scorer with 27 goals in 36 appearances . Halilhodžić went on to spend five years at La Beaujoire , appearing in a total of 163 league matches and scoring 92 goals for the club , also becoming league top scorer in the 1984–85 season with 28 goals . In 1986 , Halilhodžić decided to return to Mostar so he could spend more time with his father , who in the meantime fell seriously ill . While negotiating a new contract with Nantes , he intentionally asked for a salary bigger than anything the club could afford so that he could be released and return home . However , Francis Borelli , chairman of Paris Saint-Germain , stepped in and made him a fantastic offer to sign a one-year contract , with the intention of bringing Halilhodžić to Parc des Princes in order to strengthen the team for their upcoming 1986–87 European Cup campaign . Halilhodžić accepted the offer and went on to appear for the club in the first 18 games of the 1986–87 season , scoring eight goals . However , his mother back home died during the season , and it was then that Halilhodžić decided to finally retire from active football . International career . Halilhodžić was capped 15 times for the Yugoslavia national team , scoring eight goals . After debuting as a full international in June 1976 , he also appeared in a few matches for Yugoslavia under-21 team in 1978 , helping them win the 1978 European Under-21 Championship where he claimed the Golden Player award for the best player in the tournament . Halilhodžić , who was 26 at the time , took advantage of the rule that allowed two players over the age of 21 to participate – hence him and Velimir Zajec ( who had also already debuted for Yugoslavia full squad in 1977 ) were the two senior players brought in to strengthen the under-21 squad . Spanning nine years , Halilhodžićs time with the national team was marked by frequently alternating ups and downs , periods of automatic inclusion followed by years-long omissions and frustrating substitute stints . He made his debut as a substitute at UEFA Euro 1976 under head coach Biće Mladinić during the third place match versus Holland that Yugoslavia lost 2–3 at Zagrebs Maksimir Stadium . The 23-year-old Halilhodžić came on for Slaviša Žungul . Over the next couple of years , he recorded two more substitute appearances – first in September 1976 in a friendly against Italy in Rome and in November 1977 at home against Spain ( the infamously violent qualifying home loss at Belgrades Marakana that ended Yugoslavias chances of going to the 1978 World Cup ) .

It was not until October 1978 that now 26-year-old Halilhodžić ( riding high from his under-21 European championship win ) got his first national team start – the opening Euro 80 qualifying clash versus Spain at home in Maksimir . With his first inclusion in the starting lineup by returning coach Mladinić also came his first goal – Yugoslavia was down 0–2 in the first half when Halilhodžić pulled one back in the 44th minute for 1–2 , which ended up being the final score as Yugoslavia again lost at home to Spain . With his performance versus Spain , Halilhodžićs stock was somewhat raised and as a result he got to start the next qualifier away at Romania that Yugoslavia also lost , this time 2–3 . The second consecutive qualifier loss prompted the end of Biće Mladinićs time as head coach – he got replaced by interim coach Dražan Jerković . Halilhodžić played the next friendly match under Jerković , scoring a hat-trick against Greece . The resumption of Euro 1980 qualifying five months later in April 1979 saw the return of Miljan Miljanić to the Yugoslav bench as the FAs permanent solution at the head coaching position . Miljanić made major changes to the team he inherited from Mladinić with Halilhodžić one of the many casualties . The changes worked as Yugoslavia won its remaining four qualifiers ( including a win away at Spain ) as well as its two friendlies versus Italy and Argentina ( none of the six matches featured Halilhodžić ) , but the opening two losses still proved too much to overcome as Plavi finished a point behind Spain in the group and did not progress to Euro 1980 . 1982 World Cup . Halilhodžić made two substitute appearances at the 1982 World Cup : playing the last 15 minutes of the controversial group match versus Spain as well as the entire second half against Honduras . For the position of forward at the tournament , Miljanić preferred Safet Sušić , and in his later interviews , Halilhodžić often expressed dismay with head coach Miljanić for not giving him a more prominent role in the Yugoslav team at the 1982 World Cup . On more than one occasion in the 2000s and 2010s , a retired Halilhodžić expressed bitterness over not getting a bigger part in the national team during the 1970s and 1980s , sarcastically citing the fact my surname was too long for Belgrade scoreboards , thus insinuating that he feels the fact he is a Muslim may have been the reason for his modest playing time in the national team . Managerial career . Raja Casablanca . In July 1997 , he signed with Moroccan side Raja Casablanca . In his first season with the club , he won the 1997 CAF Champions League in December 1997 , and the 1997–98 Moroccan Championship in May 1998 . These successes raised his international profile . Lille . In October 1998 , he returned to France to coach Lille , which at the time was struggling to survive in the French Division 2 . His first season at the club ended with Lille finishing fourth , missing a promotion spot on goal difference . In the 1999–2000 season , Halilhodžićs club dominated the competition and finished top of table , 16 points clear of second-placed Guingamp , earning promotion to the French Ligue 1 . Lilles strong performances on the pitch continued the following season , and they finished third in the 2000–01 French Division 1 , only seven points behind champions Nantes , thus qualifying for the 2001–02 UEFA Champions League for the first time in clubs history . The following season , after knocking out Parma in qualifying , Lille finished third in group stage behind Deportivo de La Coruña and Manchester United , progressing to the 2001–02 UEFA Cup where they reached the Round of 16 before being knocked out by Borussia Dortmund on away goals . During his time with Lille , Halilhodžić became very famous in France because of his professionalism and knowledge of tactics , and was nicknamed Coach Vahid . After ending the 2001–02 season in fifth place , he decided to quit the club in June 2002 , citing a lack of ambition of its directors . Rennes . On 14 October 2002 , he was hired by another Ligue 1 club , Rennes , to save them from relegation after the club had picked up only eight points in the opening ten matches of the season under Philippe Bergeroo . Halilhodžić then managed to take the club to a 15th-place finish in the 20-club league , avoiding relegation zone by two points . After his successes with Lille and Rennes , he started to become one of the most sought after coaches in Europe , and whilst receiving offers from several German and Spanish clubs , he joined Paris Saint-Germain in June 2003 . Paris Saint-Germain . During his first season at the helm of PSG , the club experienced one of the greatest and unexpectedly successful seasons in its history by winning the 2003–04 Coupe de France and arriving second in the 2003–04 Ligue 1 , just three points behind Lyon , qualifying for the 2004–05 Champions League . Halilhodžićs second season at the club , however , was not a success . From their opening Champions League group stage 0–3 home loss to Chelsea , to their domestic league struggling results , PSG never succeeded in replicating the winning form of the previous season . Going into the final round of Champions League group stage fixtures in December 2004 , Halilhodžićs team still had a chance of advancing as beating CSKA Moscow at home would have seen PSG move on to the knockout stage . Even just a draw combined with group leaders Chelsea winning or drawing away at Porto would have ensured progress while a draw regardless of the other match outcome guaranteed at least a spot in the UEFA Cup round of 32 . The club , however , suffered a disappointing 1–3 defeat at its home stadium , courtesy of a Sergei Semak hat-trick , which meant straight elimination from Europe . It was a bitter loss that even prompted club president Francis Graille to publicly relay his disappointment at the lack of pride shown by the squad , though remaining guardedly coy when explicitly asked about Halilhodžićs future at the club . Now with only domestic competition to worry about , PSG began the calendar year 2005 looking to improve its league standing . Sluggish form continued , however , and on 8 February 2005 , following a 0–2 defeat at home versus Lens that saw PSG drop to 12th spot in the 2004–05 Ligue 1 table , the clubs management decided to sack Halilhodžić . He was replaced by the coach of the reserves team , Laurent Fournier , under whom the club was knocked out of 2004–05 Coupe de France by Auxerre in March and eventually finished ninth in the league . Trabzonspor . On 2 October 2005 , Halilhodžić was signed by Turkish Süper Lig side Trabzonspor . Although he led the club to fourth place in the 2005–06 Süper Lig , just behind Istanbuls Big Three , thus qualifying for the 2006–07 UEFA Cup , Halilhodžić decided to leave Turkey in June 2006 after just one season with the club . Ivory Coast . In May 2008 , Halilhodžić was hired to train the Ivory Coast national team , captained by Didier Drogba and including the likes of Yaya and Kolo Touré , Salomon Kalou , Emmanuel Eboué and the young Gervinho . In a two-year unbeaten run in African qualifiers , the team qualified for both the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Angola and the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa . In January 2010 in the quarter-finals of the continental championship against Algeria , however , the Ivory Coast were eliminated after Madjid Bougherra scored a 2–2 equaliser in injury time , with Hameur Bouazza adding Algerias third goal in the opening minutes of extra time . The defeat came as a huge disappointment for many Ivorians , for whom the national football team played a central social role and a source of national pride and unity , especially as the country was recovering from the 2002–07 civil war and preparing for its first post-war elections in October that year . As a consequence , Halilhodžić was fired on 27 February 2010 , less than four months before the 2010 World Cup finals tournament in South Africa . Dinamo Zagreb . Back in Europe , Halilhodžić was announced as the new coach of Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb on 16 August 2010 , signing a two-and-a-half-year-long contract . He came in to replace club legend Velimir Zajec , who had been fired after being knocked in Champions League qualifying on penalties against Moldovan club Sheriff Tiraspol . Although this meant the club had been eliminated from the Champions League , Dinamo still qualified for the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League , and Halilhodžić was tasked with successfully guiding Dinamos European campaign while continuing their dominance in the national championship . Club fans immediately took to Halilhodžić , as Dinamo started playing an attractive and a more attacking style of football . On 16 September , exactly one month after signing his contract , he led Dinamo to a somewhat improbable 2–0 victory over Spanish side Villarreal at the start of the group stage . Despite some encouraging results early in the season , however , Dinamo eventually failed to progress past the group stage , losing the deciding match in December at home against Greek club PAOK . Despite the setback , Halilhodžić stayed on due to support of both the fans and club management . In the 2010–11 Croatian First League the club was a runaway leader without any real competition . Towards the end of the season , issues arose over the renegotiation of terms of his contract , and on 6 May 2011 he abruptly left the club following a vicious shouting incident with Dinamos president Zdravko Mamić in the team dressing room during half-time of the league match versus Inter Zaprešić at Maksimir . Algeria . On 22 June 2011 , the Algerian Football Federation announced that Halilhodžić would take over the vacant Algeria national team manager position starting on 1 July . On 2 July , the deal was made official with Halilhodžić signing a three-year contract . He successfully led Algeria through the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification and in preparation for the finals tournament to be held in January 2013 in South Africa , the team invited Bosnia and Herzegovina ( Halilhodžićs country of birth ) for a friendly match in November 2012 . Algeria lost 0–1 in injury time on a rainy night in Algiers . Despite arriving at the final tournament with plenty of confidence and with the emergence of young stars Islam Slimani and El Arbi Hillel Soudani , as well as the addition to the squad of talented Valencia winger Sofiane Feghouli , Algeria finished bottom of their group , losing their opening two matches to Tunisia and Togo without scoring a single goal . Although the result was widely regarded as a disappointment , the Algerian Football Federation decided to keep Halilhodžić in charge and allow the team to gain more experience . Now focusing on the 2014 World Cup qualifiers , Algeria under Halilhodžić secured a spot at the finals tournament on 19 November 2013 having beaten the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations runners-up Burkina Faso in a two-legged tie on away goals rule following a 3–3 aggregate score in the African qualifying play-offs . This was only the fourth time the country qualified for a World Cup in 32 years . Algerias performance at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was a significant surprise as they beat South Korea 4–2 and drew with Russia 1–1 to progress past the group stage for the first time in the teams history . In the round of 16 , Les Fennecs had to face a very strong Germany side . Although Algeria put up a very spirited resistance , they lost the game after a goalless 90 minutes , followed by extra time in which Germany scored twice through André Schürrle and Mesut Özil , with substitute Abdelmoumene Djabou pulling back one in the dying moments of the game to make it 1–2 . Germany later went on to deliver a historic 7–1 thrashing of hosts Brazil and win their fourth World Cup title . Despite the exit , Algerias performance was the teams biggest success in history and Halilhodžić was frequently praised for his strategic counter-attacking tactics , calm yet motivating influence on the players , and skillful game management . Although he was offered a contract extension after the tournament , on 7 July 2014 he left the team in tears . Japan . On 7 March 2015 , it was reported that Halilhodžić would take over as the Japan national teams new manager . He was officially appointed on 12 March , replacing Javier Aguirre , who had been sacked over his involvement in a 2011 match-fixing investigation in Spain . Prior to this appointment , Halilhodžić was one of the shortlisted candidates for managing Bosnia and Herzegovina , but he rejected that offer after having two meetings with the Bosnian Football Association . In June 2016 , Halilhodžićs Japan hosted Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 2016 Kirin Cup , losing 1–2 . In Sept 2016 , the 2018 World Cup qualifying final round was kicked off . Six teams including Japan , Saudi Arabia and Australia scramble for two direct qualifying spots . In the first match Japan was unexpectedly beaten 1–2 by UAE because of a wrongly disallowed Japanese goal . Nevertheless , the Japanese media called questions on his selection of squad . Since then , media criticism of his strategy and his selection of squad has haunted him throughout his office . He abandoned the decade-long Japanese traditional playing style of short passes , instead , he emphasized intense fighting for the ball ( as he called it in French , duel ) and quick pace football . His most controversial call was to drop Keisuke Honda ( AC Milan ) , Shinji Kagawa ( Dortmund ) and Shinji Okazaki ( Leicester ) . Another controversial call was to put Hotaru Yamaguchi , a player in the domestic second division , to his starting lineup . Finishing the group with 6 wins , 2 draws , 2 losses with 7 conceded goals , Japans performance was inconsistent , yet it secured crucial victories at critical moments to earn itself the top spot . The two critical moments was first , winning 2–1 against Saudi Arabia in November 2016 to end the first half of the group matches in the first place ; second , beating Australia 2–0 in August 2017 to secure top spot and qualified to the 2018 FIFA World Cup . It is at these two moments the Japanese media temporarily admitted Halilhodžić is right on his strategy and his selection of squad . Yet they were called into questions once again after Japans poor performance in the international friendlies in October and November against Haiti , Brazil and Belgium . In December , Halilhodžić summoned his second and third team to 2017 East Asian Cup . Half of the team were uncapped . This unconventional inexperienced Japan team lost to South Korea 1–4 . The Japanese media saw this as a humiliating defeat . Without realizing the Japan–South Korea football rivalry , Halilhodžić comments I was amazed by South Koreas explosiveness of power , technique and control of the game . South Korea dominated us in every way . His comments made himself under siege by the Japanese media for weeks , ultimately resulting in his dismissal , with former international Akira Nishino replacing him . JFA President Kozo Tashima told reporters at a news conference , that poor results and a lack of “communication and trust” with the players as the reasons for Halilhodžićs dismissal . Halilhodžićs spiky personality frequently ruffled feathers after arriving in Japan to take over from Javier Aguirre in March 2015 , and rumors of his impending dismissal swirled throughout his three-year reign . On 24 May 2018 , Halilhodžić launched a lawsuit against the JFA and its president Kozo Tashima . In July 2018 , he was on a 4-man shortlist for the vacant Egyptian national team manager job . Nantes . In October 2018 , Halilhodžić became the new manager of FC Nantes , a club he had played for as a striker . His first win came on 22 October when Nantes beat Toulouse 4–0 at the Stade de la Beaujoire . On 5 May 2019 , Nantes beat Dijon at home 3–0 and Halilhodžić made a club record , winning five Ligue 1 matches in a row , a venture which was not done in over 18 years in the club . Halilhodžićs Nantes beat Lyon , Paris Saint-Germain , Amiens , Marseille and at the end Dijon to capture that record . On 2 August 2019 , Halilhodžić decided to leave Nantes after disagreements with the clubs owner and president Waldemar Kita . Morocco . In August 2019 , it was confirmed that Halilhodžić would take over as the Morocco national teams new manager . His first win came on 10 September when Moroccan beat Niger 1–0 at the Stade de Marrakech . Personal life . During the Bosnian War in 1992 , Halilhodžić was wounded in Mostar but recovered within a few months . He left Mostar in May 1993 due to threats received from the Croatian Defence Council ( HVO ) as the armed conflict between Bosniaks and Croats escalated in Herzegovina . Following his departure , his house was looted and burned down . On 23 July 2004 , during his tenure as the manager of PSG , Halilhodžić received Chevalier of the Légion dHonneur of the French Republic . Halilhodžić is married and has two children . His primary residence is in Lille , where his family lives . He speaks Bosnian and French , the result of spending most of his time in France . Honours . Player .

Which team was coached by Vahid Halilhodžić in Dec 2003?
|
Vahid Halilhodžić Vahid Halilhodžić ( ; born 15 May 1952 ) is a Bosnian professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of the Morocco national team . Regarded as one of the best Yugoslav players in the 1970s and 1980s , Halilhodžić had successful playing spells with Velež Mostar and French clubs Nantes and Paris Saint-Germain before retiring in the mid-1980s . During that time , he earned 15 full international caps for Yugoslavia and was part of national squads who won the 1978 European Under-21 Championship and played at the 1982 FIFA World Cup . He was best scorer of the French league in 1983 and 1985 . In the early 1990s , he turned to coaching and , after a short stint as a sporting director at his hometown club Velež , permanently moved to France in 1993 . Since then , he managed a number of teams in French-speaking countries and his achievements include winning the 1997 CAF Champions League with Moroccan side Raja Casablanca , leading the French side Lille from second level to third place in Ligue 1 in less than three years , and winning the 2004 Coupe de France with Paris Saint-Germain . He also qualified for the 2010 World Cup with the Ivory Coast ( although he was sacked only months before the final tournament ) and the 2014 World Cup with Algeria , with whom he reached Round of 16 , Algerias best result in history . Later , he qualified for the 2018 World Cup with Japan , but again was fired just prior to the tournament . After a short stint with FC Nantes in 2018 , where he helped avoid relegation in Ligue 2 , Vahid became head coach of the National team of Morocco . Playing career . Early life and Velež . Born in Jablanica , Halilhodžić started playing football in his early teens at local minnows FK Turbina Jablanica , as the clubs ground was located some 100 metres from his family home . According to his admission , he did not consider becoming a professional footballer at the time and instead chose to continue his formal education , moving to the nearby city of Mostar at age 14 to study at the local electrotechnical high school , without ever appearing for Turbina in an official match . Nevertheless , it was in Mostar that he first started taking football seriously as he went on to join Yugoslav First League side Velež Mostar academy at age 16 , in part on the insistence of his brother Salem , who at the time played for the club as a striker . Halilhodžić then went on to play there at youth levels for the next two and a half years , and , upon signing a professional contract with the club , was sent on a six-month loan to second level side Neretva Metković to gain some experience . Upon his return from loan , he quickly broke into the first-team squad in the 1972–73 season , forming a successful attacking partnership with Dušan Bajević and helping Velež finish the season as league runners-up behind Red Star Belgrade . Halilhodžić then went on to become one of the clubs key players throughout the 1970s , appearing in a total of 376 matches and scoring 253 goals for the club ( including 207 appearances and 103 goals in the Yugoslav First League ) before leaving the country in September 1981 to join French side Nantes . Earlier that year , he was instrumental in winning the clubs first major silverware , scoring two goals in their 3–2 Yugoslav Cup final win against Željezničar . Nantes and PSG . At Nantes , he struggled in his first year although he quickly became a first-team regular , scoring 7 goals in 28 appearances in the 1981–82 season . He also got sent off in the first round of the UEFA Cup vs . Lokeren and received a 4 matches suspension from UEFA . The following season , he helped Nantes win their sixth French championship title and was the leagues top scorer with 27 goals in 36 appearances . Halilhodžić went on to spend five years at La Beaujoire , appearing in a total of 163 league matches and scoring 92 goals for the club , also becoming league top scorer in the 1984–85 season with 28 goals . In 1986 , Halilhodžić decided to return to Mostar so he could spend more time with his father , who in the meantime fell seriously ill . While negotiating a new contract with Nantes , he intentionally asked for a salary bigger than anything the club could afford so that he could be released and return home . However , Francis Borelli , chairman of Paris Saint-Germain , stepped in and made him a fantastic offer to sign a one-year contract , with the intention of bringing Halilhodžić to Parc des Princes in order to strengthen the team for their upcoming 1986–87 European Cup campaign . Halilhodžić accepted the offer and went on to appear for the club in the first 18 games of the 1986–87 season , scoring eight goals . However , his mother back home died during the season , and it was then that Halilhodžić decided to finally retire from active football . International career . Halilhodžić was capped 15 times for the Yugoslavia national team , scoring eight goals . After debuting as a full international in June 1976 , he also appeared in a few matches for Yugoslavia under-21 team in 1978 , helping them win the 1978 European Under-21 Championship where he claimed the Golden Player award for the best player in the tournament . Halilhodžić , who was 26 at the time , took advantage of the rule that allowed two players over the age of 21 to participate – hence him and Velimir Zajec ( who had also already debuted for Yugoslavia full squad in 1977 ) were the two senior players brought in to strengthen the under-21 squad . Spanning nine years , Halilhodžićs time with the national team was marked by frequently alternating ups and downs , periods of automatic inclusion followed by years-long omissions and frustrating substitute stints . He made his debut as a substitute at UEFA Euro 1976 under head coach Biće Mladinić during the third place match versus Holland that Yugoslavia lost 2–3 at Zagrebs Maksimir Stadium . The 23-year-old Halilhodžić came on for Slaviša Žungul . Over the next couple of years , he recorded two more substitute appearances – first in September 1976 in a friendly against Italy in Rome and in November 1977 at home against Spain ( the infamously violent qualifying home loss at Belgrades Marakana that ended Yugoslavias chances of going to the 1978 World Cup ) . Euro 80 qualifying . It was not until October 1978 that now 26-year-old Halilhodžić ( riding high from his under-21 European championship win ) got his first national team start – the opening Euro 80 qualifying clash versus Spain at home in Maksimir . With his first inclusion in the starting lineup by returning coach Mladinić also came his first goal – Yugoslavia was down 0–2 in the first half when Halilhodžić pulled one back in the 44th minute for 1–2 , which ended up being the final score as Yugoslavia again lost at home to Spain . With his performance versus Spain , Halilhodžićs stock was somewhat raised and as a result he got to start the next qualifier away at Romania that Yugoslavia also lost , this time 2–3 . The second consecutive qualifier loss prompted the end of Biće Mladinićs time as head coach – he got replaced by interim coach Dražan Jerković . Halilhodžić played the next friendly match under Jerković , scoring a hat-trick against Greece . The resumption of Euro 1980 qualifying five months later in April 1979 saw the return of Miljan Miljanić to the Yugoslav bench as the FAs permanent solution at the head coaching position . Miljanić made major changes to the team he inherited from Mladinić with Halilhodžić one of the many casualties . The changes worked as Yugoslavia won its remaining four qualifiers ( including a win away at Spain ) as well as its two friendlies versus Italy and Argentina ( none of the six matches featured Halilhodžić ) , but the opening two losses still proved too much to overcome as Plavi finished a point behind Spain in the group and did not progress to Euro 1980 . 1982 World Cup . Halilhodžić made two substitute appearances at the 1982 World Cup : playing the last 15 minutes of the controversial group match versus Spain as well as the entire second half against Honduras . For the position of forward at the tournament , Miljanić preferred Safet Sušić , and in his later interviews , Halilhodžić often expressed dismay with head coach Miljanić for not giving him a more prominent role in the Yugoslav team at the 1982 World Cup . On more than one occasion in the 2000s and 2010s , a retired Halilhodžić expressed bitterness over not getting a bigger part in the national team during the 1970s and 1980s , sarcastically citing the fact my surname was too long for Belgrade scoreboards , thus insinuating that he feels the fact he is a Muslim may have been the reason for his modest playing time in the national team . Managerial career . Raja Casablanca . In July 1997 , he signed with Moroccan side Raja Casablanca . In his first season with the club , he won the 1997 CAF Champions League in December 1997 , and the 1997–98 Moroccan Championship in May 1998 . These successes raised his international profile . Lille . In October 1998 , he returned to France to coach Lille , which at the time was struggling to survive in the French Division 2 . His first season at the club ended with Lille finishing fourth , missing a promotion spot on goal difference . In the 1999–2000 season , Halilhodžićs club dominated the competition and finished top of table , 16 points clear of second-placed Guingamp , earning promotion to the French Ligue 1 . Lilles strong performances on the pitch continued the following season , and they finished third in the 2000–01 French Division 1 , only seven points behind champions Nantes , thus qualifying for the 2001–02 UEFA Champions League for the first time in clubs history . The following season , after knocking out Parma in qualifying , Lille finished third in group stage behind Deportivo de La Coruña and Manchester United , progressing to the 2001–02 UEFA Cup where they reached the Round of 16 before being knocked out by Borussia Dortmund on away goals . During his time with Lille , Halilhodžić became very famous in France because of his professionalism and knowledge of tactics , and was nicknamed Coach Vahid . After ending the 2001–02 season in fifth place , he decided to quit the club in June 2002 , citing a lack of ambition of its directors . Rennes . On 14 October 2002 , he was hired by another Ligue 1 club , Rennes , to save them from relegation after the club had picked up only eight points in the opening ten matches of the season under Philippe Bergeroo . Halilhodžić then managed to take the club to a 15th-place finish in the 20-club league , avoiding relegation zone by two points . After his successes with Lille and Rennes , he started to become one of the most sought after coaches in Europe , and whilst receiving offers from several German and Spanish clubs , he joined Paris Saint-Germain in June 2003 . Paris Saint-Germain . During his first season at the helm of PSG , the club experienced one of the greatest and unexpectedly successful seasons in its history by winning the 2003–04 Coupe de France and arriving second in the 2003–04 Ligue 1 , just three points behind Lyon , qualifying for the 2004–05 Champions League . Halilhodžićs second season at the club , however , was not a success . From their opening Champions League group stage 0–3 home loss to Chelsea , to their domestic league struggling results , PSG never succeeded in replicating the winning form of the previous season . Going into the final round of Champions League group stage fixtures in December 2004 , Halilhodžićs team still had a chance of advancing as beating CSKA Moscow at home would have seen PSG move on to the knockout stage . Even just a draw combined with group leaders Chelsea winning or drawing away at Porto would have ensured progress while a draw regardless of the other match outcome guaranteed at least a spot in the UEFA Cup round of 32 . The club , however , suffered a disappointing 1–3 defeat at its home stadium , courtesy of a Sergei Semak hat-trick , which meant straight elimination from Europe . It was a bitter loss that even prompted club president Francis Graille to publicly relay his disappointment at the lack of pride shown by the squad , though remaining guardedly coy when explicitly asked about Halilhodžićs future at the club . Now with only domestic competition to worry about , PSG began the calendar year 2005 looking to improve its league standing . Sluggish form continued , however , and on 8 February 2005 , following a 0–2 defeat at home versus Lens that saw PSG drop to 12th spot in the 2004–05 Ligue 1 table , the clubs management decided to sack Halilhodžić . He was replaced by the coach of the reserves team , Laurent Fournier , under whom the club was knocked out of 2004–05 Coupe de France by Auxerre in March and eventually finished ninth in the league . Trabzonspor . On 2 October 2005 , Halilhodžić was signed by Turkish Süper Lig side Trabzonspor . Although he led the club to fourth place in the 2005–06 Süper Lig , just behind Istanbuls Big Three , thus qualifying for the 2006–07 UEFA Cup , Halilhodžić decided to leave Turkey in June 2006 after just one season with the club . Ivory Coast . In May 2008 , Halilhodžić was hired to train the Ivory Coast national team , captained by Didier Drogba and including the likes of Yaya and Kolo Touré , Salomon Kalou , Emmanuel Eboué and the young Gervinho . In a two-year unbeaten run in African qualifiers , the team qualified for both the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Angola and the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa . In January 2010 in the quarter-finals of the continental championship against Algeria , however , the Ivory Coast were eliminated after Madjid Bougherra scored a 2–2 equaliser in injury time , with Hameur Bouazza adding Algerias third goal in the opening minutes of extra time . The defeat came as a huge disappointment for many Ivorians , for whom the national football team played a central social role and a source of national pride and unity , especially as the country was recovering from the 2002–07 civil war and preparing for its first post-war elections in October that year . As a consequence , Halilhodžić was fired on 27 February 2010 , less than four months before the 2010 World Cup finals tournament in South Africa . Dinamo Zagreb . Back in Europe , Halilhodžić was announced as the new coach of Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb on 16 August 2010 , signing a two-and-a-half-year-long contract . He came in to replace club legend Velimir Zajec , who had been fired after being knocked in Champions League qualifying on penalties against Moldovan club Sheriff Tiraspol . Although this meant the club had been eliminated from the Champions League , Dinamo still qualified for the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League , and Halilhodžić was tasked with successfully guiding Dinamos European campaign while continuing their dominance in the national championship . Club fans immediately took to Halilhodžić , as Dinamo started playing an attractive and a more attacking style of football . On 16 September , exactly one month after signing his contract , he led Dinamo to a somewhat improbable 2–0 victory over Spanish side Villarreal at the start of the group stage . Despite some encouraging results early in the season , however , Dinamo eventually failed to progress past the group stage , losing the deciding match in December at home against Greek club PAOK .

Towards the end of the season , issues arose over the renegotiation of terms of his contract , and on 6 May 2011 he abruptly left the club following a vicious shouting incident with Dinamos president Zdravko Mamić in the team dressing room during half-time of the league match versus Inter Zaprešić at Maksimir . Algeria . On 22 June 2011 , the Algerian Football Federation announced that Halilhodžić would take over the vacant Algeria national team manager position starting on 1 July . On 2 July , the deal was made official with Halilhodžić signing a three-year contract . He successfully led Algeria through the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification and in preparation for the finals tournament to be held in January 2013 in South Africa , the team invited Bosnia and Herzegovina ( Halilhodžićs country of birth ) for a friendly match in November 2012 . Algeria lost 0–1 in injury time on a rainy night in Algiers . Despite arriving at the final tournament with plenty of confidence and with the emergence of young stars Islam Slimani and El Arbi Hillel Soudani , as well as the addition to the squad of talented Valencia winger Sofiane Feghouli , Algeria finished bottom of their group , losing their opening two matches to Tunisia and Togo without scoring a single goal . Although the result was widely regarded as a disappointment , the Algerian Football Federation decided to keep Halilhodžić in charge and allow the team to gain more experience . Now focusing on the 2014 World Cup qualifiers , Algeria under Halilhodžić secured a spot at the finals tournament on 19 November 2013 having beaten the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations runners-up Burkina Faso in a two-legged tie on away goals rule following a 3–3 aggregate score in the African qualifying play-offs . This was only the fourth time the country qualified for a World Cup in 32 years . Algerias performance at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was a significant surprise as they beat South Korea 4–2 and drew with Russia 1–1 to progress past the group stage for the first time in the teams history . In the round of 16 , Les Fennecs had to face a very strong Germany side . Although Algeria put up a very spirited resistance , they lost the game after a goalless 90 minutes , followed by extra time in which Germany scored twice through André Schürrle and Mesut Özil , with substitute Abdelmoumene Djabou pulling back one in the dying moments of the game to make it 1–2 . Germany later went on to deliver a historic 7–1 thrashing of hosts Brazil and win their fourth World Cup title . Despite the exit , Algerias performance was the teams biggest success in history and Halilhodžić was frequently praised for his strategic counter-attacking tactics , calm yet motivating influence on the players , and skillful game management .

In the first match Japan was unexpectedly beaten 1–2 by UAE because of a wrongly disallowed Japanese goal . Nevertheless , the Japanese media called questions on his selection of squad . Since then , media criticism of his strategy and his selection of squad has haunted him throughout his office . He abandoned the decade-long Japanese traditional playing style of short passes , instead , he emphasized intense fighting for the ball ( as he called it in French , duel ) and quick pace football . His most controversial call was to drop Keisuke Honda ( AC Milan ) , Shinji Kagawa ( Dortmund ) and Shinji Okazaki ( Leicester ) . Another controversial call was to put Hotaru Yamaguchi , a player in the domestic second division , to his starting lineup . Finishing the group with 6 wins , 2 draws , 2 losses with 7 conceded goals , Japans performance was inconsistent , yet it secured crucial victories at critical moments to earn itself the top spot . The two critical moments was first , winning 2–1 against Saudi Arabia in November 2016 to end the first half of the group matches in the first place ; second , beating Australia 2–0 in August 2017 to secure top spot and qualified to the 2018 FIFA World Cup . It is at these two moments the Japanese media temporarily admitted Halilhodžić is right on his strategy and his selection of squad . Yet they were called into questions once again after Japans poor performance in the international friendlies in October and November against Haiti , Brazil and Belgium . In December , Halilhodžić summoned his second and third team to 2017 East Asian Cup . Half of the team were uncapped . This unconventional inexperienced Japan team lost to South Korea 1–4 .

Which team was coached by Vahid Halilhodžić between Jun 2017 and Aug 2017?
|
Vahid Halilhodžić Vahid Halilhodžić ( ; born 15 May 1952 ) is a Bosnian professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of the Morocco national team . Regarded as one of the best Yugoslav players in the 1970s and 1980s , Halilhodžić had successful playing spells with Velež Mostar and French clubs Nantes and Paris Saint-Germain before retiring in the mid-1980s . During that time , he earned 15 full international caps for Yugoslavia and was part of national squads who won the 1978 European Under-21 Championship and played at the 1982 FIFA World Cup . He was best scorer of the French league in 1983 and 1985 . In the early 1990s , he turned to coaching and , after a short stint as a sporting director at his hometown club Velež , permanently moved to France in 1993 . Since then , he managed a number of teams in French-speaking countries and his achievements include winning the 1997 CAF Champions League with Moroccan side Raja Casablanca , leading the French side Lille from second level to third place in Ligue 1 in less than three years , and winning the 2004 Coupe de France with Paris Saint-Germain . He also qualified for the 2010 World Cup with the Ivory Coast ( although he was sacked only months before the final tournament ) and the 2014 World Cup with Algeria , with whom he reached Round of 16 , Algerias best result in history . Later , he qualified for the 2018 World Cup with Japan , but again was fired just prior to the tournament . After a short stint with FC Nantes in 2018 , where he helped avoid relegation in Ligue 2 , Vahid became head coach of the National team of Morocco . Playing career . Early life and Velež . Born in Jablanica , Halilhodžić started playing football in his early teens at local minnows FK Turbina Jablanica , as the clubs ground was located some 100 metres from his family home . According to his admission , he did not consider becoming a professional footballer at the time and instead chose to continue his formal education , moving to the nearby city of Mostar at age 14 to study at the local electrotechnical high school , without ever appearing for Turbina in an official match . Nevertheless , it was in Mostar that he first started taking football seriously as he went on to join Yugoslav First League side Velež Mostar academy at age 16 , in part on the insistence of his brother Salem , who at the time played for the club as a striker . Halilhodžić then went on to play there at youth levels for the next two and a half years , and , upon signing a professional contract with the club , was sent on a six-month loan to second level side Neretva Metković to gain some experience . Upon his return from loan , he quickly broke into the first-team squad in the 1972–73 season , forming a successful attacking partnership with Dušan Bajević and helping Velež finish the season as league runners-up behind Red Star Belgrade . Halilhodžić then went on to become one of the clubs key players throughout the 1970s , appearing in a total of 376 matches and scoring 253 goals for the club ( including 207 appearances and 103 goals in the Yugoslav First League ) before leaving the country in September 1981 to join French side Nantes . Earlier that year , he was instrumental in winning the clubs first major silverware , scoring two goals in their 3–2 Yugoslav Cup final win against Željezničar . Nantes and PSG . At Nantes , he struggled in his first year although he quickly became a first-team regular , scoring 7 goals in 28 appearances in the 1981–82 season . He also got sent off in the first round of the UEFA Cup vs . Lokeren and received a 4 matches suspension from UEFA . The following season , he helped Nantes win their sixth French championship title and was the leagues top scorer with 27 goals in 36 appearances . Halilhodžić went on to spend five years at La Beaujoire , appearing in a total of 163 league matches and scoring 92 goals for the club , also becoming league top scorer in the 1984–85 season with 28 goals . In 1986 , Halilhodžić decided to return to Mostar so he could spend more time with his father , who in the meantime fell seriously ill . While negotiating a new contract with Nantes , he intentionally asked for a salary bigger than anything the club could afford so that he could be released and return home . However , Francis Borelli , chairman of Paris Saint-Germain , stepped in and made him a fantastic offer to sign a one-year contract , with the intention of bringing Halilhodžić to Parc des Princes in order to strengthen the team for their upcoming 1986–87 European Cup campaign . Halilhodžić accepted the offer and went on to appear for the club in the first 18 games of the 1986–87 season , scoring eight goals . However , his mother back home died during the season , and it was then that Halilhodžić decided to finally retire from active football . International career . Halilhodžić was capped 15 times for the Yugoslavia national team , scoring eight goals . After debuting as a full international in June 1976 , he also appeared in a few matches for Yugoslavia under-21 team in 1978 , helping them win the 1978 European Under-21 Championship where he claimed the Golden Player award for the best player in the tournament . Halilhodžić , who was 26 at the time , took advantage of the rule that allowed two players over the age of 21 to participate – hence him and Velimir Zajec ( who had also already debuted for Yugoslavia full squad in 1977 ) were the two senior players brought in to strengthen the under-21 squad . Spanning nine years , Halilhodžićs time with the national team was marked by frequently alternating ups and downs , periods of automatic inclusion followed by years-long omissions and frustrating substitute stints . He made his debut as a substitute at UEFA Euro 1976 under head coach Biće Mladinić during the third place match versus Holland that Yugoslavia lost 2–3 at Zagrebs Maksimir Stadium . The 23-year-old Halilhodžić came on for Slaviša Žungul . Over the next couple of years , he recorded two more substitute appearances – first in September 1976 in a friendly against Italy in Rome and in November 1977 at home against Spain ( the infamously violent qualifying home loss at Belgrades Marakana that ended Yugoslavias chances of going to the 1978 World Cup ) . Euro 80 qualifying . It was not until October 1978 that now 26-year-old Halilhodžić ( riding high from his under-21 European championship win ) got his first national team start – the opening Euro 80 qualifying clash versus Spain at home in Maksimir . With his first inclusion in the starting lineup by returning coach Mladinić also came his first goal – Yugoslavia was down 0–2 in the first half when Halilhodžić pulled one back in the 44th minute for 1–2 , which ended up being the final score as Yugoslavia again lost at home to Spain . With his performance versus Spain , Halilhodžićs stock was somewhat raised and as a result he got to start the next qualifier away at Romania that Yugoslavia also lost , this time 2–3 . The second consecutive qualifier loss prompted the end of Biće Mladinićs time as head coach – he got replaced by interim coach Dražan Jerković . Halilhodžić played the next friendly match under Jerković , scoring a hat-trick against Greece . The resumption of Euro 1980 qualifying five months later in April 1979 saw the return of Miljan Miljanić to the Yugoslav bench as the FAs permanent solution at the head coaching position . Miljanić made major changes to the team he inherited from Mladinić with Halilhodžić one of the many casualties . The changes worked as Yugoslavia won its remaining four qualifiers ( including a win away at Spain ) as well as its two friendlies versus Italy and Argentina ( none of the six matches featured Halilhodžić ) , but the opening two losses still proved too much to overcome as Plavi finished a point behind Spain in the group and did not progress to Euro 1980 . 1982 World Cup . Halilhodžić made two substitute appearances at the 1982 World Cup : playing the last 15 minutes of the controversial group match versus Spain as well as the entire second half against Honduras . For the position of forward at the tournament , Miljanić preferred Safet Sušić , and in his later interviews , Halilhodžić often expressed dismay with head coach Miljanić for not giving him a more prominent role in the Yugoslav team at the 1982 World Cup . On more than one occasion in the 2000s and 2010s , a retired Halilhodžić expressed bitterness over not getting a bigger part in the national team during the 1970s and 1980s , sarcastically citing the fact my surname was too long for Belgrade scoreboards , thus insinuating that he feels the fact he is a Muslim may have been the reason for his modest playing time in the national team . Managerial career . Raja Casablanca . In July 1997 , he signed with Moroccan side Raja Casablanca . In his first season with the club , he won the 1997 CAF Champions League in December 1997 , and the 1997–98 Moroccan Championship in May 1998 . These successes raised his international profile . Lille . In October 1998 , he returned to France to coach Lille , which at the time was struggling to survive in the French Division 2 . His first season at the club ended with Lille finishing fourth , missing a promotion spot on goal difference . In the 1999–2000 season , Halilhodžićs club dominated the competition and finished top of table , 16 points clear of second-placed Guingamp , earning promotion to the French Ligue 1 . Lilles strong performances on the pitch continued the following season , and they finished third in the 2000–01 French Division 1 , only seven points behind champions Nantes , thus qualifying for the 2001–02 UEFA Champions League for the first time in clubs history . The following season , after knocking out Parma in qualifying , Lille finished third in group stage behind Deportivo de La Coruña and Manchester United , progressing to the 2001–02 UEFA Cup where they reached the Round of 16 before being knocked out by Borussia Dortmund on away goals . During his time with Lille , Halilhodžić became very famous in France because of his professionalism and knowledge of tactics , and was nicknamed Coach Vahid . After ending the 2001–02 season in fifth place , he decided to quit the club in June 2002 , citing a lack of ambition of its directors . Rennes . On 14 October 2002 , he was hired by another Ligue 1 club , Rennes , to save them from relegation after the club had picked up only eight points in the opening ten matches of the season under Philippe Bergeroo . Halilhodžić then managed to take the club to a 15th-place finish in the 20-club league , avoiding relegation zone by two points . After his successes with Lille and Rennes , he started to become one of the most sought after coaches in Europe , and whilst receiving offers from several German and Spanish clubs , he joined Paris Saint-Germain in June 2003 . Paris Saint-Germain . During his first season at the helm of PSG , the club experienced one of the greatest and unexpectedly successful seasons in its history by winning the 2003–04 Coupe de France and arriving second in the 2003–04 Ligue 1 , just three points behind Lyon , qualifying for the 2004–05 Champions League . Halilhodžićs second season at the club , however , was not a success . From their opening Champions League group stage 0–3 home loss to Chelsea , to their domestic league struggling results , PSG never succeeded in replicating the winning form of the previous season . Going into the final round of Champions League group stage fixtures in December 2004 , Halilhodžićs team still had a chance of advancing as beating CSKA Moscow at home would have seen PSG move on to the knockout stage . Even just a draw combined with group leaders Chelsea winning or drawing away at Porto would have ensured progress while a draw regardless of the other match outcome guaranteed at least a spot in the UEFA Cup round of 32 . The club , however , suffered a disappointing 1–3 defeat at its home stadium , courtesy of a Sergei Semak hat-trick , which meant straight elimination from Europe . It was a bitter loss that even prompted club president Francis Graille to publicly relay his disappointment at the lack of pride shown by the squad , though remaining guardedly coy when explicitly asked about Halilhodžićs future at the club . Now with only domestic competition to worry about , PSG began the calendar year 2005 looking to improve its league standing . Sluggish form continued , however , and on 8 February 2005 , following a 0–2 defeat at home versus Lens that saw PSG drop to 12th spot in the 2004–05 Ligue 1 table , the clubs management decided to sack Halilhodžić . He was replaced by the coach of the reserves team , Laurent Fournier , under whom the club was knocked out of 2004–05 Coupe de France by Auxerre in March and eventually finished ninth in the league . Trabzonspor . On 2 October 2005 , Halilhodžić was signed by Turkish Süper Lig side Trabzonspor . Although he led the club to fourth place in the 2005–06 Süper Lig , just behind Istanbuls Big Three , thus qualifying for the 2006–07 UEFA Cup , Halilhodžić decided to leave Turkey in June 2006 after just one season with the club . Ivory Coast . In May 2008 , Halilhodžić was hired to train the Ivory Coast national team , captained by Didier Drogba and including the likes of Yaya and Kolo Touré , Salomon Kalou , Emmanuel Eboué and the young Gervinho . In a two-year unbeaten run in African qualifiers , the team qualified for both the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Angola and the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa . In January 2010 in the quarter-finals of the continental championship against Algeria , however , the Ivory Coast were eliminated after Madjid Bougherra scored a 2–2 equaliser in injury time , with Hameur Bouazza adding Algerias third goal in the opening minutes of extra time . The defeat came as a huge disappointment for many Ivorians , for whom the national football team played a central social role and a source of national pride and unity , especially as the country was recovering from the 2002–07 civil war and preparing for its first post-war elections in October that year . As a consequence , Halilhodžić was fired on 27 February 2010 , less than four months before the 2010 World Cup finals tournament in South Africa . Dinamo Zagreb . Back in Europe , Halilhodžić was announced as the new coach of Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb on 16 August 2010 , signing a two-and-a-half-year-long contract . He came in to replace club legend Velimir Zajec , who had been fired after being knocked in Champions League qualifying on penalties against Moldovan club Sheriff Tiraspol . Although this meant the club had been eliminated from the Champions League , Dinamo still qualified for the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League , and Halilhodžić was tasked with successfully guiding Dinamos European campaign while continuing their dominance in the national championship . Club fans immediately took to Halilhodžić , as Dinamo started playing an attractive and a more attacking style of football . On 16 September , exactly one month after signing his contract , he led Dinamo to a somewhat improbable 2–0 victory over Spanish side Villarreal at the start of the group stage . Despite some encouraging results early in the season , however , Dinamo eventually failed to progress past the group stage , losing the deciding match in December at home against Greek club PAOK . Despite the setback , Halilhodžić stayed on due to support of both the fans and club management . In the 2010–11 Croatian First League the club was a runaway leader without any real competition . Towards the end of the season , issues arose over the renegotiation of terms of his contract , and on 6 May 2011 he abruptly left the club following a vicious shouting incident with Dinamos president Zdravko Mamić in the team dressing room during half-time of the league match versus Inter Zaprešić at Maksimir . Algeria . On 22 June 2011 , the Algerian Football Federation announced that Halilhodžić would take over the vacant Algeria national team manager position starting on 1 July . On 2 July , the deal was made official with Halilhodžić signing a three-year contract . He successfully led Algeria through the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification and in preparation for the finals tournament to be held in January 2013 in South Africa , the team invited Bosnia and Herzegovina ( Halilhodžićs country of birth ) for a friendly match in November 2012 . Algeria lost 0–1 in injury time on a rainy night in Algiers . Despite arriving at the final tournament with plenty of confidence and with the emergence of young stars Islam Slimani and El Arbi Hillel Soudani , as well as the addition to the squad of talented Valencia winger Sofiane Feghouli , Algeria finished bottom of their group , losing their opening two matches to Tunisia and Togo without scoring a single goal . Although the result was widely regarded as a disappointment , the Algerian Football Federation decided to keep Halilhodžić in charge and allow the team to gain more experience . Now focusing on the 2014 World Cup qualifiers , Algeria under Halilhodžić secured a spot at the finals tournament on 19 November 2013 having beaten the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations runners-up Burkina Faso in a two-legged tie on away goals rule following a 3–3 aggregate score in the African qualifying play-offs . This was only the fourth time the country qualified for a World Cup in 32 years . Algerias performance at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was a significant surprise as they beat South Korea 4–2 and drew with Russia 1–1 to progress past the group stage for the first time in the teams history . In the round of 16 , Les Fennecs had to face a very strong Germany side . Although Algeria put up a very spirited resistance , they lost the game after a goalless 90 minutes , followed by extra time in which Germany scored twice through André Schürrle and Mesut Özil , with substitute Abdelmoumene Djabou pulling back one in the dying moments of the game to make it 1–2 . Germany later went on to deliver a historic 7–1 thrashing of hosts Brazil and win their fourth World Cup title . Despite the exit , Algerias performance was the teams biggest success in history and Halilhodžić was frequently praised for his strategic counter-attacking tactics , calm yet motivating influence on the players , and skillful game management . Although he was offered a contract extension after the tournament , on 7 July 2014 he left the team in tears . Japan . On 7 March 2015 , it was reported that Halilhodžić would take over as the Japan national teams new manager . He was officially appointed on 12 March , replacing Javier Aguirre , who had been sacked over his involvement in a 2011 match-fixing investigation in Spain . Prior to this appointment , Halilhodžić was one of the shortlisted candidates for managing Bosnia and Herzegovina , but he rejected that offer after having two meetings with the Bosnian Football Association . In June 2016 , Halilhodžićs Japan hosted Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 2016 Kirin Cup , losing 1–2 . In Sept 2016 , the 2018 World Cup qualifying final round was kicked off . Six teams including Japan , Saudi Arabia and Australia scramble for two direct qualifying spots . In the first match Japan was unexpectedly beaten 1–2 by UAE because of a wrongly disallowed Japanese goal . Nevertheless , the Japanese media called questions on his selection of squad . Since then , media criticism of his strategy and his selection of squad has haunted him throughout his office . He abandoned the decade-long Japanese traditional playing style of short passes , instead , he emphasized intense fighting for the ball ( as he called it in French , duel ) and quick pace football . His most controversial call was to drop Keisuke Honda ( AC Milan ) , Shinji Kagawa ( Dortmund ) and Shinji Okazaki ( Leicester ) . Another controversial call was to put Hotaru Yamaguchi , a player in the domestic second division , to his starting lineup . Finishing the group with 6 wins , 2 draws , 2 losses with 7 conceded goals , Japans performance was inconsistent , yet it secured crucial victories at critical moments to earn itself the top spot . The two critical moments was first , winning 2–1 against Saudi Arabia in November 2016 to end the first half of the group matches in the first place ; second , beating Australia 2–0 in August 2017 to secure top spot and qualified to the 2018 FIFA World Cup . It is at these two moments the Japanese media temporarily admitted Halilhodžić is right on his strategy and his selection of squad . Yet they were called into questions once again after Japans poor performance in the international friendlies in October and November against Haiti , Brazil and Belgium . In December , Halilhodžić summoned his second and third team to 2017 East Asian Cup . Half of the team were uncapped . This unconventional inexperienced Japan team lost to South Korea 1–4 . The Japanese media saw this as a humiliating defeat . Without realizing the Japan–South Korea football rivalry , Halilhodžić comments I was amazed by South Koreas explosiveness of power , technique and control of the game . South Korea dominated us in every way . His comments made himself under siege by the Japanese media for weeks , ultimately resulting in his dismissal , with former international Akira Nishino replacing him . JFA President Kozo Tashima told reporters at a news conference , that poor results and a lack of “communication and trust” with the players as the reasons for Halilhodžićs dismissal . Halilhodžićs spiky personality frequently ruffled feathers after arriving in Japan to take over from Javier Aguirre in March 2015 , and rumors of his impending dismissal swirled throughout his three-year reign . On 24 May 2018 , Halilhodžić launched a lawsuit against the JFA and its president Kozo Tashima . In July 2018 , he was on a 4-man shortlist for the vacant Egyptian national team manager job . Nantes . In October 2018 , Halilhodžić became the new manager of FC Nantes , a club he had played for as a striker . His first win came on 22 October when Nantes beat Toulouse 4–0 at the Stade de la Beaujoire . On 5 May 2019 , Nantes beat Dijon at home 3–0 and Halilhodžić made a club record , winning five Ligue 1 matches in a row , a venture which was not done in over 18 years in the club . Halilhodžićs Nantes beat Lyon , Paris Saint-Germain , Amiens , Marseille and at the end Dijon to capture that record . On 2 August 2019 , Halilhodžić decided to leave Nantes after disagreements with the clubs owner and president Waldemar Kita . Morocco . In August 2019 , it was confirmed that Halilhodžić would take over as the Morocco national teams new manager . His first win came on 10 September when Moroccan beat Niger 1–0 at the Stade de Marrakech . Personal life . During the Bosnian War in 1992 , Halilhodžić was wounded in Mostar but recovered within a few months . He left Mostar in May 1993 due to threats received from the Croatian Defence Council ( HVO ) as the armed conflict between Bosniaks and Croats escalated in Herzegovina . Following his departure , his house was looted and burned down . On 23 July 2004 , during his tenure as the manager of PSG , Halilhodžić received Chevalier of the Légion dHonneur of the French Republic . Halilhodžić is married and has two children . His primary residence is in Lille , where his family lives . He speaks Bosnian and French , the result of spending most of his time in France . Honours . Player .

Which team did the player Gareth Southgate belong to in Jun 1994?
|
Gareth Southgate Gareth Southgate ( born 3 September 1970 ) is an English professional football manager and former player who played as a defender or as a midfielder . He is the manager of the England national team . Southgate won the League Cup with both Aston Villa and Middlesbrough ( in 1995–96 and 2003–04 , respectively ) and captained Crystal Palace to win the First Division championship in 1993–94 . He also played in the 2000 FA Cup Final for Villa and the 2006 UEFA Cup Final for Middlesbrough . Internationally , Southgate made 57 appearances for the England national team between 1995 and 2004 , featuring in the 1998 FIFA World Cup and both the 1996 and 2000 European Championships . His playing career ended in May 2006 at the age of 35 , and after more than 500 league appearances . Southgate served as manager of Middlesbrough from June 2006 until October 2009 . He also managed the England under-21 team from 2013 to 2016 , before becoming the England national team manager in 2016 . In his first tournament as England manager , the 2018 FIFA World Cup , Southgate became only the third manager ( after Alf Ramsey and Bobby Robson ) to reach a World Cup semi-final with the England team , which won him the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Coach Award . Club career . Crystal Palace . Born in Watford , Hertfordshire , Southgate began his career at Crystal Palace , playing initially at right-back and then in central midfield . He became captain and led the club to the 1993–94 First Division title . After the South London clubs relegation from the Premier League , he moved to Aston Villa for a fee of £2.5 million , having made 152 appearances over four seasons . His nickname at Palace was Nord , given to him because his precise way of speaking reminded one of the coaches of Denis Nordens vocal delivery . Aston Villa . At Aston Villa , he was converted into a centre-back and was part of a formidable defence . In his first season , he lifted the League Cup and Aston Villa qualified for the UEFA Cup . Southgate played in every Premier League game during the 1998–99 season . He continued to play for Villa in the 1999–2000 season as Villa reached the FA Cup Final , but handed in a transfer request just before Euro 2000 , claiming that if I am to achieve in my career , it is time to move on . Middlesbrough . On 11 July 2001 , Southgate signed for Middlesbrough for a £6.5 million fee . He joined on a four-year deal and was the first signing by Steve McClaren , whom he knew as an England coach . In July 2002 , after Paul Ince left for Wolverhampton Wanderers , Southgate was appointed the new Middlesbrough captain . On 29 February 2004 , he became the first Boro skipper in their 128-year history to lift a trophy , as they defeated Bolton Wanderers in the 2004 Football League Cup Final at the Millennium Stadium . Southgate rejected media rumours that he was set to move to Manchester United following Rio Ferdinands ban for missing a drug test in January 2004 . He later committed his final playing years to Middlesbrough , signing until 2007 . His final appearance as a professional player was in the 2006 UEFA Cup Final against Sevilla , which Boro lost 4–0 at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven . International career . Southgate made his debut for England as a substitute against Portugal in December 1995 under the management of Terry Venables . Southgate played every minute of their matches as hosts England reached the semi-final of UEFA Euro 1996 , in which they faced Germany . The match was determined in a penalty shoot-out ; Southgates penalty was saved , and England were eliminated . Southgate managed to make light of his blunder later that year by appearing in an advert for Pizza Hut , also featuring Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle , who had missed crucial penalties at the 1990 FIFA World Cup . Southgate also played in the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000 . His 50th cap came in a 1–1 draw with Portugal at Villa Park in September 2002 . On 11 June 2003 , he played the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 Euro 2004 qualifying win over Slovakia at his club ground of the Riverside Stadium , competing against Middlesbroughs striker Szilárd Németh . Southgate was capped 57 times for England and scored twice . His first goal came on 14 October 1998 against Luxembourg in a Euro 2000 qualifier , his second on 22 May 2003 against South Africa in a friendly . He is Aston Villas most capped England player , having played 42 of his 57 internationals whilst with Villa . Managerial career . Middlesbrough . 2006–07 : Controversial appointment . Middlesbrough manager Steve McClaren left the club in June 2006 in order to replace Sven-Göran Eriksson as the manager of the England national team . Despite Martin ONeill initially the favourite for the new vacancy , Southgate was chosen by chairman Steve Gibson to succeed McClaren , committing to a five-year contract . His appointment immediately drew controversy as he did not have the required coaching qualifications ( the UEFA Pro Licence ) to manage a top-flight club . He was allowed to stay on as manager , however , by the Premier League in November 2006 ; Middlesbrough successfully argued that , because Southgate had recently been an international player , he had no opportunity to undertake the coaching courses . Southgate subsequently went on to complete his coaching qualifications . Upon his appointment , Southgate was tasked with rebuilding a side that had sold several players at the end of the previous league campaign , including key players such as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Doriva . His first signing as a manager came on 12 July , when Herold Goulon signed from Lyon for an undisclosed fee . He brought in four defensive additions to the squad , with Julio Arca arriving from local rivals Sunderland , Robert Huth from Chelsea and Jason Euell from Charlton Athletic on permanent deals , whereas Jonathan Woodgate joined on a season-long loan from Real Madrid . After playing eleven games in their pre-season campaign , Southgates managerial reign kicked off on 19 August 2006 , the first day of the Premier League season , where his side lost 3–2 away at Reading . Despite a disappointing start , they redeemed themselves when hosting reigning champions Chelsea at the Riverside Stadium , the game ending in a 2–1 victory . Overall , Middlesbroughs form in Southgates first season in charge was indifferent . Although his side secured some promising victories , they lost away from home to all three newly promoted sides . Furthermore , it took until January for the team to register their first away win of the season , a 3–1 victory at an out-of-form Charlton Athletic , their first away success since April of the previous year . Their highest-scoring victory of the season was a 5–1 win over Bolton Wanderers . Southgates side finished the Premier League season sat in twelfth position . That season also saw the club eliminated from the League Cup at the earliest possibility , after suffering a 1–0 defeat to Notts County in the first round . However , their FA Cup run was much more promising , though they had replay in every round they participated in . They were eventually eliminated by Manchester United in the sixth round of the competition , suffering a 3–2 aggregate loss . Due to every possible match going to replay , Middlesbrough actually played more competition matches than the previous seasons champions Liverpool . 2007–08 : Disappointing second season . Middlesbrough were very active during both transfer windows , with Jonathan Woodgate being the first signing during the summer , arriving from Real Madrid for a £7 million transfer fee ; Woodgate had previously played for the club during the previous league campaign on loan . The club went on to break their personal transfer record , for the first time since 2002 , when Afonso Alves arrived from Heerenveen for €20 million . In December 2007 , Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger suggested Southgate as one of several English managers who were all good enough to manage the national team . Southgate however faced some criticism earlier on that season , after his side suffered a spell in the relegation zone ; Middlesbrough however managed to pull clear of the bottom three . Southgate would go on to guide his side to a thirteenth place finish in the Premier League ; their final game of the league campaign saw them secure a 8–1 victory against Manchester City at home , the clubs highest victory during the Premier Leagues lifetime , and Southgates highest-ever victory in management . 2008–09 : Relegation and dismissal . The pre-season build-up ahead of the 2008–09 season was disappointing for the club . Due to heavy spending during the previous season , the clubs net spending was almost nil . Furthermore , club legend Mark Schwarzer left the club after eleven years , joining Premier League rivals Fulham on the expiration of his contract . Furthermore , key players such as George Boateng and Lee Cattermole also left the club , once again leaving Southgate with a rebuilding challenge to change Middlesbroughs fortunes . Despite the negative events during pre-season , Middlesbrough secured two victories out of a possible three , resulting in Southgate being named the Premier League Manager of the Month for August . This made Southgate the second person , after Stuart Pearce , to achieve both the Player and Manager of the Month awards , whereas he became the first Middlesbrough manager to win the award since Terry Venables in January 2001 . In November 2008 , Southgate took Middlesbrough up to eighth place in the league , following an away win against an in-form Aston Villa , another former playing club of Southgates ; however , Middlesbrough would thereafter go fourteen games without a win , finally defeating Liverpool at home 2–0 on 28 February 2009 to cancel their winless drought . After an away defeat against Stoke City , some of the travelling supporters were calling for his dismissal , having only achieved a single win in eighteen games and relegation survival looking highly unlikely . On 24 March , chairman Steve Gibson spoke out on the managers future , stating that sacking Southgate would not help the situation . Due to results elsewhere , Middlesbroughs status as a Premier League club went down to the final day : they needed relegation rivals Newcastle United and Hull City to lose , with them needing a five-goal swing to the latter in goal difference . Middlesbrough faced West Ham United away from home ; the game ended in a 2–1 defeat , confirming Middlesbroughs relegation to the Championship after eleven consecutive seasons in the top-flight , as a nineteenth-place finish was confirmed . Following their relegation , Southgate expressed his determination to achieve instant promotion back up to the Premier League , praising the supporters and showing his sorrow for them in the process . Middlesbrough enjoyed a successful start to life in the Championship , portraying decent form within the domestic league , and were in contention for an immediate return to the Premier League . However , on 20 October 2009 , shortly after a 2–0 victory over Derby County , Southgate was dismissed as manager , despite the side sat in fourth place and promotion-bound . His dismissal was controversial as he had taken Middlesbrough to within one point of the top position , though chairman Gibson stated that he had made the decision weeks previously in the best interests of the club . He was replaced by Gordon Strachan , who failed to expand Southgates work as promotion contenders . Middlesbrough would have to wait until 2016 to achieve promotion to the Premier League , under the management of Aitor Karanka . England . 2013–16 : Tenure with the under-21s . After four years out of football , Southgate returned to management after he signed a three-year contract to succeed Stuart Pearce as the manager of the England under-21 team on 22 August 2013 . Senior team manager Roy Hodgson had taken charge for the teams 6–0 victory over Scotland in the interim period prior to Southgates appointment . His first game in charge saw The Young Lions defeat Moldova 1–0 in a UEFA European Championship qualification match , thanks to a goal from striker Saido Berahino . Southgate would go on to lead his team to qualify for the finals of the 2015 European Championship in 2015 ; their good fortune could not continue however , as they finished bottom of their narrow-pointed group , therefore being knocked out of the competition . Their only victory during the competition came when Jesse Lingard scored the singular goal in their 1–0 success over Sweden , who would go on to qualify for the competitions knockout phase . In June 2016 , Southgate said that he did not want to fill the England senior team position left vacant by Hodgson . 2016–17 : Promotion to senior team role . Southgate was put in temporary charge of the senior England team on 27 September 2016 , when Sam Allardyce resigned after one game due to the 2016 English football scandal . England were in the early stages of qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup . After winning his first game in charge 2–0 against Malta , under Southgates leadership , England went on to draw 0–0 with Slovenia , beat Scotland 3–0 , and in his last game in temporary charge , drew 2–2 with Spain , despite leading 2–0 and conceding goals in the 89th and 96th minutes . Southgates spell as caretaker manager ended on 15 November , with him appointed on a permanent basis when he penned a four-year contract two weeks later . 2017–18 : Success at the FIFA World Cup . The England team qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup on 5 October 2017 , with a 1–0 home win over Slovenia . The Football Association confirmed in December that Southgate would remain as England manager even if the team did not progress beyond the group stage of the tournament , describing their expectations as realistic and the tournament as a really important staging post for our development . After wins against Tunisia and Panama saw England qualify behind Belgium in their World Cup group , Southgates England side beat Colombia 4–3 on penalties in the round of 16 after a 1–1 draw on 3 July 2018 to claim his nations first ever World Cup penalty shoot-out victory and a place in the quarter-finals . On 7 July 2018 , Southgates England side beat Sweden 2–0 in the quarter-finals , with Southgate becoming the first England manager to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup since Sir Bobby Robson in 1990 . This success bought Southgate significant admiration from England fans . For the semi-final with Croatia , fans dressed up in Waistcoats in tribute to Southgates iconic waistcoat , which he wore during Englands matches : retailer Marks & Spencer reported a 35% increase in sales of waistcoats , and the hashtag WaistcoatWednesday trended on Twitter . A week after the end of the tournament , Southgate tube station in Enfield , London , was renamed to Gareth Southgate for two days in recognition of Southgates achievement . Southgate was also lauded for personal qualities shown in the World Cup , including consoling Mateus Uribe , a Colombian player , whose missed penalty had seen England win . On 11 July 2018 , Southgates England side suffered a 2–1 defeat to Croatia during extra time in the semi-finals . Kieran Trippier opened the scoring for England with a free kick , before a goal from Ivan Perišić sent the tie into extra time . Mario Mandžukić scored the winner for Croatia in the second half of extra time . With England trailing , the match also saw England play the final ten minutes of extra time with ten men as Trippier suffered an injury after Southgate had already made his permitted substitutions . Following a 2–0 defeat to Belgium in the third place play-off , England ended the World Cup in fourth place . Harry Kane , a striker and the England team captain , also won the Golden Boot as the tournaments top goal-scorer . 2018–19 : UEFA Nations League . In 2019 , Southgate managed England to third place in the inaugural UEFA Nations League . They did so after finishing top of a group containing Spain and Croatia . Their 3–2 victory away against the Spanish was their first victory in Spain for 31 years . They lost 3–1 to the Netherlands in the semi-final but then beat Switzerland 6–5 in a penalty shootout after the match finished goalless . It was Englands first third-place finish in a major international tournament since UEFA Euro 1968 . Other roles . In 2003 , Southgate and his close friend Andy Woodman co-wrote Woody & Nord : A Football Friendship . This book describes an enduring friendship forged in the Crystal Palace youth team that has survived Southgate and Woodmans wildly differing fortunes in the professional game . The book won the Sports Book of the Year award for 2004 from the National Sporting Club ( now the British Sports Book Awards ) . Southgate was also a co-commentator for ITV at the 2006 World Cup , covering group games alongside Clive Tyldesley . Due to commitments of managing Middlesbrough , he attended for only the first two weeks of the four-week tournament . He resumed a role as pundit and co-commentator after he finished his tenure at Middlesbrough in 2010 , working on FA Cup and UEFA Champions League matches for ITV as well as acting as a pundit on England games . In January 2011 , Southgate was appointed as the FAs head of elite development , to work with Sir Trevor Brooking . He left the post in July 2012 , and ruled himself out of consideration for the role of technical director , for which he had been a leading candidate . Personal life . Southgate attended Pound Hill Junior School and Hazelwick School in Crawley , West Sussex . He married Alison Bird in July 1997 at the St Nicholas Church in Worth ; the couple have two children . Southgate was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire ( OBE ) in the 2019 New Year Honours for services to football . In April 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic , Southgate agreed to take a 30% cut in his salary . Career statistics . Club . Source : International . Source : Honours . Player .

On 29 February 2004 , he became the first Boro skipper in their 128-year history to lift a trophy , as they defeated Bolton Wanderers in the 2004 Football League Cup Final at the Millennium Stadium . Southgate rejected media rumours that he was set to move to Manchester United following Rio Ferdinands ban for missing a drug test in January 2004 .

His final appearance as a professional player was in the 2006 UEFA Cup Final against Sevilla , which Boro lost 4–0 at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven . International career . Southgate made his debut for England as a substitute against Portugal in December 1995 under the management of Terry Venables . Southgate played every minute of their matches as hosts England reached the semi-final of UEFA Euro 1996 , in which they faced Germany . The match was determined in a penalty shoot-out ; Southgates penalty was saved , and England were eliminated . Southgate managed to make light of his blunder later that year by appearing in an advert for Pizza Hut , also featuring Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle , who had missed crucial penalties at the 1990 FIFA World Cup . Southgate also played in the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000 . His 50th cap came in a 1–1 draw with Portugal at Villa Park in September 2002 .

Middlesbrough manager Steve McClaren left the club in June 2006 in order to replace Sven-Göran Eriksson as the manager of the England national team . Despite Martin ONeill initially the favourite for the new vacancy , Southgate was chosen by chairman Steve Gibson to succeed McClaren , committing to a five-year contract . His appointment immediately drew controversy as he did not have the required coaching qualifications ( the UEFA Pro Licence ) to manage a top-flight club . He was allowed to stay on as manager , however , by the Premier League in November 2006 ; Middlesbrough successfully argued that , because Southgate had recently been an international player , he had no opportunity to undertake the coaching courses . Southgate subsequently went on to complete his coaching qualifications . Upon his appointment , Southgate was tasked with rebuilding a side that had sold several players at the end of the previous league campaign , including key players such as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Doriva . His first signing as a manager came on 12 July , when Herold Goulon signed from Lyon for an undisclosed fee . He brought in four defensive additions to the squad , with Julio Arca arriving from local rivals Sunderland , Robert Huth from Chelsea and Jason Euell from Charlton Athletic on permanent deals , whereas Jonathan Woodgate joined on a season-long loan from Real Madrid . After playing eleven games in their pre-season campaign , Southgates managerial reign kicked off on 19 August 2006 , the first day of the Premier League season , where his side lost 3–2 away at Reading . Despite a disappointing start , they redeemed themselves when hosting reigning champions Chelsea at the Riverside Stadium , the game ending in a 2–1 victory . Overall , Middlesbroughs form in Southgates first season in charge was indifferent . Although his side secured some promising victories , they lost away from home to all three newly promoted sides . Furthermore , it took until January for the team to register their first away win of the season , a 3–1 victory at an out-of-form Charlton Athletic , their first away success since April of the previous year . Their highest-scoring victory of the season was a 5–1 win over Bolton Wanderers . Southgates side finished the Premier League season sat in twelfth position . That season also saw the club eliminated from the League Cup at the earliest possibility , after suffering a 1–0 defeat to Notts County in the first round . However , their FA Cup run was much more promising , though they had replay in every round they participated in . They were eventually eliminated by Manchester United in the sixth round of the competition , suffering a 3–2 aggregate loss . Due to every possible match going to replay , Middlesbrough actually played more competition matches than the previous seasons champions Liverpool . 2007–08 : Disappointing second season . Middlesbrough were very active during both transfer windows , with Jonathan Woodgate being the first signing during the summer , arriving from Real Madrid for a £7 million transfer fee ; Woodgate had previously played for the club during the previous league campaign on loan . The club went on to break their personal transfer record , for the first time since 2002 , when Afonso Alves arrived from Heerenveen for €20 million . In December 2007 , Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger suggested Southgate as one of several English managers who were all good enough to manage the national team . Southgate however faced some criticism earlier on that season , after his side suffered a spell in the relegation zone ; Middlesbrough however managed to pull clear of the bottom three . Southgate would go on to guide his side to a thirteenth place finish in the Premier League ; their final game of the league campaign saw them secure a 8–1 victory against Manchester City at home , the clubs highest victory during the Premier Leagues lifetime , and Southgates highest-ever victory in management . 2008–09 : Relegation and dismissal . The pre-season build-up ahead of the 2008–09 season was disappointing for the club . Due to heavy spending during the previous season , the clubs net spending was almost nil . Furthermore , club legend Mark Schwarzer left the club after eleven years , joining Premier League rivals Fulham on the expiration of his contract . Furthermore , key players such as George Boateng and Lee Cattermole also left the club , once again leaving Southgate with a rebuilding challenge to change Middlesbroughs fortunes . Despite the negative events during pre-season , Middlesbrough secured two victories out of a possible three , resulting in Southgate being named the Premier League Manager of the Month for August . This made Southgate the second person , after Stuart Pearce , to achieve both the Player and Manager of the Month awards , whereas he became the first Middlesbrough manager to win the award since Terry Venables in January 2001 . In November 2008 , Southgate took Middlesbrough up to eighth place in the league , following an away win against an in-form Aston Villa , another former playing club of Southgates ; however , Middlesbrough would thereafter go fourteen games without a win , finally defeating Liverpool at home 2–0 on 28 February 2009 to cancel their winless drought .

His first game in charge saw The Young Lions defeat Moldova 1–0 in a UEFA European Championship qualification match , thanks to a goal from striker Saido Berahino . Southgate would go on to lead his team to qualify for the finals of the 2015 European Championship in 2015 ; their good fortune could not continue however , as they finished bottom of their narrow-pointed group , therefore being knocked out of the competition . Their only victory during the competition came when Jesse Lingard scored the singular goal in their 1–0 success over Sweden , who would go on to qualify for the competitions knockout phase . In June 2016 , Southgate said that he did not want to fill the England senior team position left vacant by Hodgson . 2016–17 : Promotion to senior team role . Southgate was put in temporary charge of the senior England team on 27 September 2016 , when Sam Allardyce resigned after one game due to the 2016 English football scandal .

The England team qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup on 5 October 2017 , with a 1–0 home win over Slovenia .

After wins against Tunisia and Panama saw England qualify behind Belgium in their World Cup group , Southgates England side beat Colombia 4–3 on penalties in the round of 16 after a 1–1 draw on 3 July 2018 to claim his nations first ever World Cup penalty shoot-out victory and a place in the quarter-finals . On 7 July 2018 , Southgates England side beat Sweden 2–0 in the quarter-finals , with Southgate becoming the first England manager to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup since Sir Bobby Robson in 1990 . This success bought Southgate significant admiration from England fans . For the semi-final with Croatia , fans dressed up in Waistcoats in tribute to Southgates iconic waistcoat , which he wore during Englands matches : retailer Marks & Spencer reported a 35% increase in sales of waistcoats , and the hashtag WaistcoatWednesday trended on Twitter . A week after the end of the tournament , Southgate tube station in Enfield , London , was renamed to Gareth Southgate for two days in recognition of Southgates achievement . Southgate was also lauded for personal qualities shown in the World Cup , including consoling Mateus Uribe , a Colombian player , whose missed penalty had seen England win . On 11 July 2018 , Southgates England side suffered a 2–1 defeat to Croatia during extra time in the semi-finals . Kieran Trippier opened the scoring for England with a free kick , before a goal from Ivan Perišić sent the tie into extra time . Mario Mandžukić scored the winner for Croatia in the second half of extra time . With England trailing , the match also saw England play the final ten minutes of extra time with ten men as Trippier suffered an injury after Southgate had already made his permitted substitutions . Following a 2–0 defeat to Belgium in the third place play-off , England ended the World Cup in fourth place .

Zanardi compared reasonably to teammate Johnny Herbert in 1993 and was important in fine-tuning the teams active suspension system , scoring his only F1 point at the Brazilian Grand Prix . He was injured when an elderly motorist collided with his bicycle , knocking him down and running over Zanardis left foot . Despite suffering several broken bones , Zanardi raced in Germany , but he spun out and did not finish . Zanardis season ended prematurely after he sustained a concussion as a result of a crash in practice for the Belgian Grand Prix . Still recovering , Zanardi missed the beginning of the season while he was working as a test driver for Lotus , but he returned in the Spanish Grand Prix , replacing Pedro Lamy , who had been injured in a testing crash . However , Lotus struggled in its final season in F1 and Zanardi failed to score a single point or qualify higher than 13th . For the races in Belgium and Portugal , Zanardi was replaced by Belgian pay driver Philippe Adams . Sports car racing . With Lotus Formula One having folded , Zanardi took time to race in sports car racing . His first meeting was at a Porsche Supercup event at Imola . Zanardi later raced at a four-hour event at Donington Park where he and Alex Portman retired with eight minutes remaining despite leading by over a lap . The pair managed to finish 4th at a wet-weather race at Silverstone . CART Championship series . During 1995 , Zanardi went to the United States for a drive in the CART Series . He felt that finding a race seat would be easy with Formula One experience but no teams took any interest . However , Reynard Commercial Director Rick Gorne managed to secure Zanardi a test drive at Homestead with Chip Ganassi Racing . Zanardi officially signed a contract on 23 October 1995 . The teams race engineer Mo Nunn advised Chip against signing him , as he believed Italian drivers were too prone to mistakes . He rapidly became one of the series most popular drivers . He took the pole for his second race , although his first win didnt come until mid-season . In total he won three races in his rookie season and six pole positions , finishing third in the championship behind teammate Jimmy Vasser and Michael Andretti . He and Andretti were level on points but Andretti took second place by virtue of having five race wins to Zanardis three . Zanardi was named Rookie of the Year . A win came at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the final race of the 1996 season , where he conducted a highly risky overtake at the Corkscrew corner ( known to many racing fans as The Pass ; the maneuver was banned for future years ) , on race leader Bryan Herta , having fought his way through the field . Zanardi improved his form in CART in 1997 , winning five of seventeen races including three in a row and four of the five rounds held in the mid to late portion of the season en route to winning the Drivers Championship . 1998 saw Zanardi even more dominant in his Ganassi Reynard-Honda , winning 7 of 19 races with an incredible 15 podiums in those 19 races . He won four races in a row in June and July en route to his second consecutive CART title , the third in a row for Ganassi and Honda , and the fourth for Reynard . After winning a race , Zanardi was fond of spinning his car around in tight circles , leaving circular doughnut-shaped patterns of tyre rubber on the track ; this would eventually become a popular means of celebrating race wins all across America . Return to Formula One . Zanardis CART success caught the eye of Sir Frank Williams , with whom he made contact in 1997 , to inform them he would be available for contract negotiations if needed . Williams visited Zanardi , who signed a three-year contract in July 1998 which was publicly confirmed in September of that year . He began testing at the end of that year alongside test driver Juan Pablo Montoya . Zanardi also received offers from BAR and Honda . In Australia , Zanardi was 9th quickest in the first free practice session but had limited track time due to reliability issues and traffic in qualifying meant he could only start 15th . He showed promise in the warm-up with 6th but the race saw him crash out on lap 21 . Moving on to Brazil , Zanardi once again experienced limited time on the track which was mainly due to engine issues . He started 16th and retired with a differential failure . Zanardi also incurred a $5,000 fine for speeding in the pit lane . At Imola , his form improved with a start position of 10th . The race itself threw up a surprise for Zanardi . His car was suffering electronic issues and ran a steady 7th in the closing stages and ran over oil from Johnny Herberts Stewart at the Villeneuve chicane and spun into the gravel . Zanardi out-qualified Schumacher at Monaco by over half a second . More drama occurred on race day as the seat in his Williams broke off during the early stages of the race but he managed to finish 8th and last of the runners . In Spain , despite setting the 5th-quickest lap in first free practice , a wrong set-up placed Zanardi 17th in qualifying . His cars gearbox seized after a pit stop . Similar problems occurred in Canada where Friday practice running was limited . Managing to out-qualify Schumacher , Zanardis race was incident filled . Whilst running in 8th , he spun off into the gravel trap early on and dropped to last . Further time was lost when leaving the pit lane during a safety car period and receiving a stop-go penalty . A further excursion occurred when a maneuver on Luca Badoers Minardi ended with Zanardi crashing out . The wet qualifying for the French Grand Prix saw him qualify 15th after the Williams team misread conditions and aquaplaned during the race . At Silverstone , Zanardi qualified 13th and finished 11th . In Austria , he started 14th . In the first part of the race , Zanardis radio communications failed and around lap 33 , his team hung out pit boards calling him in to pit but a battle with Pedro Diniz distracted the Italian and twice missed the board and eventually ran out of fuel . Mechanical failures saw Zanardi retire from the next two races before he finished eighth in Belgium . In Monza , Zanardi qualified 4th ahead of teammate Ralf Schumacher . He overtook David Coulthard and Heinz-Harald Frentzen at the start . Frentzen took over 2nd from Zanardi at the Roggia chicane . On the third lap , the floor on the Williams became loose and he was forced to wave his rivals past but managed to finish 7th . At the next round at the Nürburgring , Zanardi qualified in 18th , placing blame on traffic . He performed well at the start but was forced to take avoiding action when Alexander Wurz clipped Pedro Diniz . The incident left Zanardi in last position but he regained positions before his car succumbed to his engine stalling . The penultimate round in Malaysia had seen Zanardi start from 16th with a first-lap collision that damaged his front rim with a pit-stop preventing better progress . He later ran wide which caused damage to the car radiators and forced another pit-stop with Zanardi finishing 10th . The final race of the season was in Japan , where he qualified 16th . In the race , Zanardi overtook many of his rivals , driving as high as 9th before his pit-lane limiter activated with the engine shutting off when he attempted to turn off the limiter on the first lap . At the end of the season , Zanardi and the Williams team decided to go their separate ways with an estimated cost of $4 million for the termination of Zanardis contract . CART return and Lausitzring crash . In the 2000 season Zanardi was not signed for a team , but was interested in a CART comeback . He tested for Mo Nunn in July at Sebring driving for 246 laps and opted to sign to the team for 2001 . For most of the season , Zanardi had little success , with three top-ten finishes and a best result of fourth place in the 2001 Molson Indy Toronto . During the 2001 American Memorial , he suffered a severe accident at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz on 15 September 2001 . Zanardi started from the back of the grid and was gaining the upper hand of the race . The crash occurred while Zanardi was leading the race in the closing laps . After a late pit stop , Zanardi on cold tyres was attempting to merge back onto the track when he accelerated abruptly , lost control of his car , and spun onto the race track into the path of Patrick Carpentier . Carpentier was able to avoid him , but Alex Tagliani , who was just behind Carpentier at the time , could not avoid , and Zanardis car was impacted from the side , behind the front wheel , severing the nose of the car . Zanardi lost both legs ( one at the thigh and one at the knee ) in the impact and nearly 75% of his blood volume , though rapid medical intervention saved his life . Further portions of his legs were amputated during three hours of surgery to clean and facilitate closing the wounds . Post-amputation motor racing career . Zanardi was fitted with two prosthetic limbs and began rehabilitating . Dissatisfied with the limitations of legs available commercially , Zanardi designed and built his own custom legs , to allow him to compare the weight and stiffness of various feet to find the ones most suitable for racing . In 2002 , CART honoured Zanardi by allowing him to wave the checkered flag in Toronto , Canada . In 2003 , Zanardi was ready to take to the track again , with the aid of hand-operated brake and accelerator controls . Before the 2003 German 500 , Zanardi ceremonially drove the thirteen laps he never finished at the Lausitzring in 2001 . His fastest lap time of 37.487 seconds would have qualified him fifth in the actual race . Zanardi competed at Monza , Italy in a round of the 2003 European Touring Car Championship , in his first race since the accident in a touring car modified to allow the use of his prosthetic feet , finishing the race in seventh . In 2004 , Zanardi returned to racing full-time , driving for Roberto Ravaglias BMW Team Italy-Spain in the FIA European Touring Car Championship . In 2005 , the series became the World Touring Car Championship by adding two non-European races . On 24 August 2005 , Zanardi won his first world series race , celebrating with a series of trademark donuts . He took further wins at Istanbul in 2006 and Brno in 2008 and 2009 . At the end of the 2009 season he announced his retirement from the WTCC . He took the 2005 Italian Superturismo Championship as organised by the Automobile Club dItalia with eight victories from twelve races in a Team BMW Italy-entered BMW 320si run by ROAL Motorsport . Zanardi returned to a Formula One car in late November 2006 at a testing session for BMW Sauber in Valencia , Spain . The car had been specially adapted to have hand controls fitted on the steering wheel . After the drive Zanardi said that the main problem he was having was using only his right hand to steer through corners , as his left operated the throttle . Zanardi said , Of course , I know that I wont get a contract with the Formula One team , however having the chance to drive an F1 racer again is just incredible . Since 2004 , CRG has made and sold a range of kart chassis bearing Zanardis name . Zanardi chassis have been raced in the European KF1 Championship and World Championship as well as in many other racing events worldwide . Dutch driver Nyck de Vries won the CIK-FIA Karting World Championship in 2010 and 2011 with Zanardi karts . In November 2012 Zanardi tested a BMW DTM touring car , completing 32 laps of the Nürburgring . He later said that the test had rekindled his interest in motor racing , and in January 2014 it was announced that he would return to motorsport in the 2014 Blancpain Sprint Series season , racing a BMW Z4 GT3 for Ravaglias ROAL Motorsport team . In 2018 he made a one-off appearance in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters , driving a BMW M4 DTM in the Misano round of the series . After qualifying in last place for both races , he finished 12th out of 13 finishers in the first race before placing fifth in the second race in mixed weather : after the race he said that as radio communication between drivers and the pits is banned in the DTM except when cars are in the pit lane , when his team told him of his fifth-place finish he initially believed it was a joke at his expense . Zanardi returned to American motor racing by entering the 2019 24 Hours of Daytona that January . Using a similar set of controls as the BMW M4 that he used in the DTM series , the GTLM-specification BMW M8 GTE had a special steering wheel that allowed him to actuate the accelerator with his left hand and shift with his right hand . Brakes were applied with a large handle with by his right hand . The brake handle also had a downshift trigger on it so he can still engine brake like his teammates John Edwards , Jesse Krohn and Chaz Mostert . The team finished 32nd overall and ninth in the GTLM category . Writing . Zanardi wrote the opening chapters for the books of Steve Olvey , the former CART medical director , including , Rapid Response : My Inside Story as a Motor Racing Life Saver . Zanardi Edition NSX . The Alex Zanardi Edition Acura NSX was introduced in 1999 for the U.S . market to commemorate Zanardis two back-to-back CART championship wins for Honda in 1997 and 1998 . The car features revised suspension , as well as a fixed roof , lightweight BBS wheels , single-pane rear glass , a lightweight rear spoiler , manual steering , and a lighter battery , making it lighter than the targa top version . Only 51 examples were ever built , and all were painted in the newly introduced New Formula Red Color Code : R-510 which subsequently replaced Formula Red Color Code : R-77 in all markets from 2000 onward , to reflect the colour of the car he drove for Chip Ganassi Racing . Handcycling and triathlon career . After the injuries sustained from his 2001 racing accident Zanardi decided to return to sport , taking up handcycling . In 2007 he achieved 4th place in the New York City Marathon in the handcycle division , after only four weeks of training .

Two days later , he won the individual H4 road race , ahead of Ernst van Dyk ( South Africa ) and Wim Decleir ( Belgium ) , and then a silver medal for Italy in the mixed team relay H1-4 on 8 September 2012 .

What sport did Alex Zanardi participate between Dec 2000 and 2001?
|
Alex Zanardi Alessandro Zanardi ( ; born 23 October 1966 ) is an Italian professional racing driver and paracyclist . He won the CART championship in 1997 and 1998 , and took 15 wins in the series . He also raced in Formula One from 1991 to 1994 and again in 1999 ; his best result was a sixth-place finish in the 1993 Brazilian GP . He returned to CART in 2001 , but a major crash in the 2001 American Memorial resulted in the amputation of his legs . He returned to racing less than two years after the accident ; competing in the European Touring Car Championship in 2003–2004 and then in the World Touring Car Championship between 2005 and 2009 , scoring four wins . In addition to continuing to race cars , Zanardi took up competition in handcycling , a form of paralympic cycling , with the stated goal of representing Italy at the 2012 Summer Paralympics . In September 2011 , Zanardi won his first senior international handcycling medal , the silver medal in the H4 category time trial at the UCI World Road Para-Cycling Championships . In September 2012 he won gold medals at the London Paralympics in the individual H4 time trial and the individual H4 road race , followed by a silver medal in the mixed H1-4 team relay , and in September 2016 he won a gold and a silver medal at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro . On 19 June 2020 , Zanardi was involved in a serious road accident while competing in the Obiettivo tricolore handcycling race , near Siena . After being transferred to hospital , Zanardi underwent three hours of neurosurgery and maxillofacial surgery before being placed in a medically induced coma . Early years . Alex Zanardi was born in Bologna , Italy , son of Dino and Anna Zanardi . His family moved to the town of Castel Maggiore on the citys outskirts when he was four . His sister Cristina was a promising swimmer prior to her death in an automobile collision in 1979 . Zanardi began racing karts at age 13 . He built his kart from the wheels of a dustbin and pipes from his fathers work . In 1988 , he joined the Italian Formula 3 series , with a fifth place as his highest finish . In 1989 , Zanardi took two pole positions and three podiums despite his teams switching to unleaded fuel , which reduced his cars engine power . In 1991 , he moved up to the Formula 3000 series with the Il Barone Rampante team , themselves newcomers to the series . He won his F3000 debut race , scoring two more wins that season and finishing second in the championship . Formula One ( 1991–1994 ) . After testing for the Footwork team , Zanardi mounted a strong season in F3000 . Eddie Jordan looked to replace Roberto Moreno for the remainder of the 1991 season , bringing in Zanardi for the last three races . Zanardi finished two of them , both in 9th place . In , however , Zanardi had to be content with guest drives for Minardi , replacing the injured Christian Fittipaldi . In the off-season , he tested for Benetton , but he contracted with Lotus for 1993 . He later stated that in hindsight , he should have stayed on as the Benetton test driver as he would likely have been given a full-time drive for 1994 following Riccardo Patreses retirement , where he would have been in a race-winning car alongside that years world champion Michael Schumacher . Zanardi compared reasonably to teammate Johnny Herbert in 1993 and was important in fine-tuning the teams active suspension system , scoring his only F1 point at the Brazilian Grand Prix . He was injured when an elderly motorist collided with his bicycle , knocking him down and running over Zanardis left foot . Despite suffering several broken bones , Zanardi raced in Germany , but he spun out and did not finish . Zanardis season ended prematurely after he sustained a concussion as a result of a crash in practice for the Belgian Grand Prix . Still recovering , Zanardi missed the beginning of the season while he was working as a test driver for Lotus , but he returned in the Spanish Grand Prix , replacing Pedro Lamy , who had been injured in a testing crash . However , Lotus struggled in its final season in F1 and Zanardi failed to score a single point or qualify higher than 13th . For the races in Belgium and Portugal , Zanardi was replaced by Belgian pay driver Philippe Adams . Sports car racing . With Lotus Formula One having folded , Zanardi took time to race in sports car racing . His first meeting was at a Porsche Supercup event at Imola . Zanardi later raced at a four-hour event at Donington Park where he and Alex Portman retired with eight minutes remaining despite leading by over a lap . The pair managed to finish 4th at a wet-weather race at Silverstone . CART Championship series . During 1995 , Zanardi went to the United States for a drive in the CART Series . He felt that finding a race seat would be easy with Formula One experience but no teams took any interest . However , Reynard Commercial Director Rick Gorne managed to secure Zanardi a test drive at Homestead with Chip Ganassi Racing . Zanardi officially signed a contract on 23 October 1995 . The teams race engineer Mo Nunn advised Chip against signing him , as he believed Italian drivers were too prone to mistakes . He rapidly became one of the series most popular drivers . He took the pole for his second race , although his first win didnt come until mid-season . In total he won three races in his rookie season and six pole positions , finishing third in the championship behind teammate Jimmy Vasser and Michael Andretti . He and Andretti were level on points but Andretti took second place by virtue of having five race wins to Zanardis three . Zanardi was named Rookie of the Year . A win came at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the final race of the 1996 season , where he conducted a highly risky overtake at the Corkscrew corner ( known to many racing fans as The Pass ; the maneuver was banned for future years ) , on race leader Bryan Herta , having fought his way through the field . Zanardi improved his form in CART in 1997 , winning five of seventeen races including three in a row and four of the five rounds held in the mid to late portion of the season en route to winning the Drivers Championship . 1998 saw Zanardi even more dominant in his Ganassi Reynard-Honda , winning 7 of 19 races with an incredible 15 podiums in those 19 races . He won four races in a row in June and July en route to his second consecutive CART title , the third in a row for Ganassi and Honda , and the fourth for Reynard . After winning a race , Zanardi was fond of spinning his car around in tight circles , leaving circular doughnut-shaped patterns of tyre rubber on the track ; this would eventually become a popular means of celebrating race wins all across America . Return to Formula One . Zanardis CART success caught the eye of Sir Frank Williams , with whom he made contact in 1997 , to inform them he would be available for contract negotiations if needed . Williams visited Zanardi , who signed a three-year contract in July 1998 which was publicly confirmed in September of that year . He began testing at the end of that year alongside test driver Juan Pablo Montoya . Zanardi also received offers from BAR and Honda . In Australia , Zanardi was 9th quickest in the first free practice session but had limited track time due to reliability issues and traffic in qualifying meant he could only start 15th . He showed promise in the warm-up with 6th but the race saw him crash out on lap 21 . Moving on to Brazil , Zanardi once again experienced limited time on the track which was mainly due to engine issues . He started 16th and retired with a differential failure . Zanardi also incurred a $5,000 fine for speeding in the pit lane . At Imola , his form improved with a start position of 10th . The race itself threw up a surprise for Zanardi . His car was suffering electronic issues and ran a steady 7th in the closing stages and ran over oil from Johnny Herberts Stewart at the Villeneuve chicane and spun into the gravel . Zanardi out-qualified Schumacher at Monaco by over half a second . More drama occurred on race day as the seat in his Williams broke off during the early stages of the race but he managed to finish 8th and last of the runners . In Spain , despite setting the 5th-quickest lap in first free practice , a wrong set-up placed Zanardi 17th in qualifying . His cars gearbox seized after a pit stop . Similar problems occurred in Canada where Friday practice running was limited . Managing to out-qualify Schumacher , Zanardis race was incident filled . Whilst running in 8th , he spun off into the gravel trap early on and dropped to last . Further time was lost when leaving the pit lane during a safety car period and receiving a stop-go penalty . A further excursion occurred when a maneuver on Luca Badoers Minardi ended with Zanardi crashing out . The wet qualifying for the French Grand Prix saw him qualify 15th after the Williams team misread conditions and aquaplaned during the race . At Silverstone , Zanardi qualified 13th and finished 11th . In Austria , he started 14th . In the first part of the race , Zanardis radio communications failed and around lap 33 , his team hung out pit boards calling him in to pit but a battle with Pedro Diniz distracted the Italian and twice missed the board and eventually ran out of fuel . Mechanical failures saw Zanardi retire from the next two races before he finished eighth in Belgium . In Monza , Zanardi qualified 4th ahead of teammate Ralf Schumacher . He overtook David Coulthard and Heinz-Harald Frentzen at the start . Frentzen took over 2nd from Zanardi at the Roggia chicane . On the third lap , the floor on the Williams became loose and he was forced to wave his rivals past but managed to finish 7th . At the next round at the Nürburgring , Zanardi qualified in 18th , placing blame on traffic . He performed well at the start but was forced to take avoiding action when Alexander Wurz clipped Pedro Diniz . The incident left Zanardi in last position but he regained positions before his car succumbed to his engine stalling . The penultimate round in Malaysia had seen Zanardi start from 16th with a first-lap collision that damaged his front rim with a pit-stop preventing better progress . He later ran wide which caused damage to the car radiators and forced another pit-stop with Zanardi finishing 10th . The final race of the season was in Japan , where he qualified 16th . In the race , Zanardi overtook many of his rivals , driving as high as 9th before his pit-lane limiter activated with the engine shutting off when he attempted to turn off the limiter on the first lap . At the end of the season , Zanardi and the Williams team decided to go their separate ways with an estimated cost of $4 million for the termination of Zanardis contract . CART return and Lausitzring crash . In the 2000 season Zanardi was not signed for a team , but was interested in a CART comeback . He tested for Mo Nunn in July at Sebring driving for 246 laps and opted to sign to the team for 2001 . For most of the season , Zanardi had little success , with three top-ten finishes and a best result of fourth place in the 2001 Molson Indy Toronto . During the 2001 American Memorial , he suffered a severe accident at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz on 15 September 2001 . Zanardi started from the back of the grid and was gaining the upper hand of the race . The crash occurred while Zanardi was leading the race in the closing laps . After a late pit stop , Zanardi on cold tyres was attempting to merge back onto the track when he accelerated abruptly , lost control of his car , and spun onto the race track into the path of Patrick Carpentier . Carpentier was able to avoid him , but Alex Tagliani , who was just behind Carpentier at the time , could not avoid , and Zanardis car was impacted from the side , behind the front wheel , severing the nose of the car . Zanardi lost both legs ( one at the thigh and one at the knee ) in the impact and nearly 75% of his blood volume , though rapid medical intervention saved his life . Further portions of his legs were amputated during three hours of surgery to clean and facilitate closing the wounds . Post-amputation motor racing career . Zanardi was fitted with two prosthetic limbs and began rehabilitating . Dissatisfied with the limitations of legs available commercially , Zanardi designed and built his own custom legs , to allow him to compare the weight and stiffness of various feet to find the ones most suitable for racing . In 2002 , CART honoured Zanardi by allowing him to wave the checkered flag in Toronto , Canada . In 2003 , Zanardi was ready to take to the track again , with the aid of hand-operated brake and accelerator controls . Before the 2003 German 500 , Zanardi ceremonially drove the thirteen laps he never finished at the Lausitzring in 2001 . His fastest lap time of 37.487 seconds would have qualified him fifth in the actual race . Zanardi competed at Monza , Italy in a round of the 2003 European Touring Car Championship , in his first race since the accident in a touring car modified to allow the use of his prosthetic feet , finishing the race in seventh . In 2004 , Zanardi returned to racing full-time , driving for Roberto Ravaglias BMW Team Italy-Spain in the FIA European Touring Car Championship . In 2005 , the series became the World Touring Car Championship by adding two non-European races . On 24 August 2005 , Zanardi won his first world series race , celebrating with a series of trademark donuts . He took further wins at Istanbul in 2006 and Brno in 2008 and 2009 . At the end of the 2009 season he announced his retirement from the WTCC . He took the 2005 Italian Superturismo Championship as organised by the Automobile Club dItalia with eight victories from twelve races in a Team BMW Italy-entered BMW 320si run by ROAL Motorsport . Zanardi returned to a Formula One car in late November 2006 at a testing session for BMW Sauber in Valencia , Spain . The car had been specially adapted to have hand controls fitted on the steering wheel . After the drive Zanardi said that the main problem he was having was using only his right hand to steer through corners , as his left operated the throttle . Zanardi said , Of course , I know that I wont get a contract with the Formula One team , however having the chance to drive an F1 racer again is just incredible . Since 2004 , CRG has made and sold a range of kart chassis bearing Zanardis name . Zanardi chassis have been raced in the European KF1 Championship and World Championship as well as in many other racing events worldwide .

Zanardi returned to American motor racing by entering the 2019 24 Hours of Daytona that January . Using a similar set of controls as the BMW M4 that he used in the DTM series , the GTLM-specification BMW M8 GTE had a special steering wheel that allowed him to actuate the accelerator with his left hand and shift with his right hand . Brakes were applied with a large handle with by his right hand .

With Lotus Formula One having folded , Zanardi took time to race in sports car racing . His first meeting was at a Porsche Supercup event at Imola . Zanardi later raced at a four-hour event at Donington Park where he and Alex Portman retired with eight minutes remaining despite leading by over a lap . The pair managed to finish 4th at a wet-weather race at Silverstone . CART Championship series . During 1995 , Zanardi went to the United States for a drive in the CART Series . He felt that finding a race seat would be easy with Formula One experience but no teams took any interest . However , Reynard Commercial Director Rick Gorne managed to secure Zanardi a test drive at Homestead with Chip Ganassi Racing . Zanardi officially signed a contract on 23 October 1995 . The teams race engineer Mo Nunn advised Chip against signing him , as he believed Italian drivers were too prone to mistakes . He rapidly became one of the series most popular drivers . He took the pole for his second race , although his first win didnt come until mid-season . In total he won three races in his rookie season and six pole positions , finishing third in the championship behind teammate Jimmy Vasser and Michael Andretti . He and Andretti were level on points but Andretti took second place by virtue of having five race wins to Zanardis three . Zanardi was named Rookie of the Year . A win came at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the final race of the 1996 season , where he conducted a highly risky overtake at the Corkscrew corner ( known to many racing fans as The Pass ; the maneuver was banned for future years ) , on race leader Bryan Herta , having fought his way through the field . Zanardi improved his form in CART in 1997 , winning five of seventeen races including three in a row and four of the five rounds held in the mid to late portion of the season en route to winning the Drivers Championship . 1998 saw Zanardi even more dominant in his Ganassi Reynard-Honda , winning 7 of 19 races with an incredible 15 podiums in those 19 races . He won four races in a row in June and July en route to his second consecutive CART title , the third in a row for Ganassi and Honda , and the fourth for Reynard . After winning a race , Zanardi was fond of spinning his car around in tight circles , leaving circular doughnut-shaped patterns of tyre rubber on the track ; this would eventually become a popular means of celebrating race wins all across America . Return to Formula One . Zanardis CART success caught the eye of Sir Frank Williams , with whom he made contact in 1997 , to inform them he would be available for contract negotiations if needed . Williams visited Zanardi , who signed a three-year contract in July 1998 which was publicly confirmed in September of that year . He began testing at the end of that year alongside test driver Juan Pablo Montoya . Zanardi also received offers from BAR and Honda . In Australia , Zanardi was 9th quickest in the first free practice session but had limited track time due to reliability issues and traffic in qualifying meant he could only start 15th . He showed promise in the warm-up with 6th but the race saw him crash out on lap 21 . Moving on to Brazil , Zanardi once again experienced limited time on the track which was mainly due to engine issues . He started 16th and retired with a differential failure . Zanardi also incurred a $5,000 fine for speeding in the pit lane . At Imola , his form improved with a start position of 10th . The race itself threw up a surprise for Zanardi . His car was suffering electronic issues and ran a steady 7th in the closing stages and ran over oil from Johnny Herberts Stewart at the Villeneuve chicane and spun into the gravel . Zanardi out-qualified Schumacher at Monaco by over half a second . More drama occurred on race day as the seat in his Williams broke off during the early stages of the race but he managed to finish 8th and last of the runners . In Spain , despite setting the 5th-quickest lap in first free practice , a wrong set-up placed Zanardi 17th in qualifying . His cars gearbox seized after a pit stop . Similar problems occurred in Canada where Friday practice running was limited . Managing to out-qualify Schumacher , Zanardis race was incident filled . Whilst running in 8th , he spun off into the gravel trap early on and dropped to last . Further time was lost when leaving the pit lane during a safety car period and receiving a stop-go penalty . A further excursion occurred when a maneuver on Luca Badoers Minardi ended with Zanardi crashing out . The wet qualifying for the French Grand Prix saw him qualify 15th after the Williams team misread conditions and aquaplaned during the race . At Silverstone , Zanardi qualified 13th and finished 11th . In Austria , he started 14th . In the first part of the race , Zanardis radio communications failed and around lap 33 , his team hung out pit boards calling him in to pit but a battle with Pedro Diniz distracted the Italian and twice missed the board and eventually ran out of fuel . Mechanical failures saw Zanardi retire from the next two races before he finished eighth in Belgium . In Monza , Zanardi qualified 4th ahead of teammate Ralf Schumacher . He overtook David Coulthard and Heinz-Harald Frentzen at the start . Frentzen took over 2nd from Zanardi at the Roggia chicane . On the third lap , the floor on the Williams became loose and he was forced to wave his rivals past but managed to finish 7th . At the next round at the Nürburgring , Zanardi qualified in 18th , placing blame on traffic . He performed well at the start but was forced to take avoiding action when Alexander Wurz clipped Pedro Diniz . The incident left Zanardi in last position but he regained positions before his car succumbed to his engine stalling . The penultimate round in Malaysia had seen Zanardi start from 16th with a first-lap collision that damaged his front rim with a pit-stop preventing better progress . He later ran wide which caused damage to the car radiators and forced another pit-stop with Zanardi finishing 10th . The final race of the season was in Japan , where he qualified 16th . In the race , Zanardi overtook many of his rivals , driving as high as 9th before his pit-lane limiter activated with the engine shutting off when he attempted to turn off the limiter on the first lap . At the end of the season , Zanardi and the Williams team decided to go their separate ways with an estimated cost of $4 million for the termination of Zanardis contract . CART return and Lausitzring crash . In the 2000 season Zanardi was not signed for a team , but was interested in a CART comeback . He tested for Mo Nunn in July at Sebring driving for 246 laps and opted to sign to the team for 2001 . For most of the season , Zanardi had little success , with three top-ten finishes and a best result of fourth place in the 2001 Molson Indy Toronto . During the 2001 American Memorial , he suffered a severe accident at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz on 15 September 2001 . Zanardi started from the back of the grid and was gaining the upper hand of the race . The crash occurred while Zanardi was leading the race in the closing laps . After a late pit stop , Zanardi on cold tyres was attempting to merge back onto the track when he accelerated abruptly , lost control of his car , and spun onto the race track into the path of Patrick Carpentier . Carpentier was able to avoid him , but Alex Tagliani , who was just behind Carpentier at the time , could not avoid , and Zanardis car was impacted from the side , behind the front wheel , severing the nose of the car . Zanardi lost both legs ( one at the thigh and one at the knee ) in the impact and nearly 75% of his blood volume , though rapid medical intervention saved his life . Further portions of his legs were amputated during three hours of surgery to clean and facilitate closing the wounds . Post-amputation motor racing career . Zanardi was fitted with two prosthetic limbs and began rehabilitating . Dissatisfied with the limitations of legs available commercially , Zanardi designed and built his own custom legs , to allow him to compare the weight and stiffness of various feet to find the ones most suitable for racing . In 2002 , CART honoured Zanardi by allowing him to wave the checkered flag in Toronto , Canada . In 2003 , Zanardi was ready to take to the track again , with the aid of hand-operated brake and accelerator controls . Before the 2003 German 500 , Zanardi ceremonially drove the thirteen laps he never finished at the Lausitzring in 2001 . His fastest lap time of 37.487 seconds would have qualified him fifth in the actual race . Zanardi competed at Monza , Italy in a round of the 2003 European Touring Car Championship , in his first race since the accident in a touring car modified to allow the use of his prosthetic feet , finishing the race in seventh . In 2004 , Zanardi returned to racing full-time , driving for Roberto Ravaglias BMW Team Italy-Spain in the FIA European Touring Car Championship . In 2005 , the series became the World Touring Car Championship by adding two non-European races . On 24 August 2005 , Zanardi won his first world series race , celebrating with a series of trademark donuts . He took further wins at Istanbul in 2006 and Brno in 2008 and 2009 . At the end of the 2009 season he announced his retirement from the WTCC . He took the 2005 Italian Superturismo Championship as organised by the Automobile Club dItalia with eight victories from twelve races in a Team BMW Italy-entered BMW 320si run by ROAL Motorsport . Zanardi returned to a Formula One car in late November 2006 at a testing session for BMW Sauber in Valencia , Spain . The car had been specially adapted to have hand controls fitted on the steering wheel . After the drive Zanardi said that the main problem he was having was using only his right hand to steer through corners , as his left operated the throttle . Zanardi said , Of course , I know that I wont get a contract with the Formula One team , however having the chance to drive an F1 racer again is just incredible . Since 2004 , CRG has made and sold a range of kart chassis bearing Zanardis name . Zanardi chassis have been raced in the European KF1 Championship and World Championship as well as in many other racing events worldwide . Dutch driver Nyck de Vries won the CIK-FIA Karting World Championship in 2010 and 2011 with Zanardi karts . In November 2012 Zanardi tested a BMW DTM touring car , completing 32 laps of the Nürburgring . He later said that the test had rekindled his interest in motor racing , and in January 2014 it was announced that he would return to motorsport in the 2014 Blancpain Sprint Series season , racing a BMW Z4 GT3 for Ravaglias ROAL Motorsport team . In 2018 he made a one-off appearance in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters , driving a BMW M4 DTM in the Misano round of the series . After qualifying in last place for both races , he finished 12th out of 13 finishers in the first race before placing fifth in the second race in mixed weather : after the race he said that as radio communication between drivers and the pits is banned in the DTM except when cars are in the pit lane , when his team told him of his fifth-place finish he initially believed it was a joke at his expense . Zanardi returned to American motor racing by entering the 2019 24 Hours of Daytona that January . Using a similar set of controls as the BMW M4 that he used in the DTM series , the GTLM-specification BMW M8 GTE had a special steering wheel that allowed him to actuate the accelerator with his left hand and shift with his right hand . Brakes were applied with a large handle with by his right hand . The brake handle also had a downshift trigger on it so he can still engine brake like his teammates John Edwards , Jesse Krohn and Chaz Mostert . The team finished 32nd overall and ninth in the GTLM category . Writing . Zanardi wrote the opening chapters for the books of Steve Olvey , the former CART medical director , including , Rapid Response : My Inside Story as a Motor Racing Life Saver . Zanardi Edition NSX . The Alex Zanardi Edition Acura NSX was introduced in 1999 for the U.S . market to commemorate Zanardis two back-to-back CART championship wins for Honda in 1997 and 1998 . The car features revised suspension , as well as a fixed roof , lightweight BBS wheels , single-pane rear glass , a lightweight rear spoiler , manual steering , and a lighter battery , making it lighter than the targa top version . Only 51 examples were ever built , and all were painted in the newly introduced New Formula Red Color Code : R-510 which subsequently replaced Formula Red Color Code : R-77 in all markets from 2000 onward , to reflect the colour of the car he drove for Chip Ganassi Racing . Handcycling and triathlon career . After the injuries sustained from his 2001 racing accident Zanardi decided to return to sport , taking up handcycling . In 2007 he achieved 4th place in the New York City Marathon in the handcycle division , after only four weeks of training .

Alessandro Galilei Alessandro Maria Gaetano Galilei ( 25 August 1691 – 21 December 1737 ) was an Italian mathematician , architect and theorist , a member of the same patrician family of Galileo . Biography . Born in Florence , he received architectural and engineering training from Antonio Maria Ferri , an outstanding figure of the Accademia dei Nobili , who lectured and wrote a treatise on perspective , fortifications and artillery . With him young Galilei worked on the study of building techniques , stereometry , hydraulics . Visiting English milords were impressed with the classicism of his early designs , and he was invited by a party of English to London in 1714 . There he participated in a variety of architectural projects , most notably collaborating with the civic engineer Nicholas Dubois . The only other notable Italian architect in London at the time was Giacomo Leoni . The two architects shared a classicising bent that appealed to the English but was at odds with current Baroque architectural practice in Italy . Nevertheless , aside from a funerary monument , no major commissions were forthcoming . In 1718 , Robert , Viscount Molesworth employed Galilei in Ireland . There , when William Conolly , Speaker of the Irish House of Commons and the richest man in Ireland was just beginning to build Castletown House , near Dublin in County Kildare , he met Galilei . Galilei designed the façade of the main block of Castletown , the grandest Palladian house in Ireland , but returned to Italy in 1719 and was not associated with the actual construction of the house , which was begun in 1722 and carried through by the young Anglo-Irish architect Edward Lovett Pearce , who met Galilei in Florence while he was making drawings of Palladios villas on his tour of Italy . and would introduce Neo-Palladian architecture in Ireland . A portrait of Galilei by Giuseppe Berti , signed and dated 1735 , has recently been purchased for Castletown House . Once more in Florence after 1719 , Galilei was appointed Ingegnere delle fortezze e fabbriche di corte ( Engineer of court buildings and fortresses ) of the Grand Dukes of Tuscany , Cosimo III and Gian Gastone de Medici , last of the Medici grand dukes , neither of whom , however , could provide him with architectural projects suited to his talents . Galileis projects during this period included a renovation of the choir of Cortona Cathedral that featured a severely classical triumphal arch motif , additions to the Villa Venuti , at Catrosse , near Cortona , for Domenico Girolamo Venuti , and a design ( 1724 ) for the oratory of the Church of the Madonna del Vivaio ( since rebuilt ) in Scarperia , Tuscany . In 1730 the Florentine patrician Lorenzo Corsini was elected as Pope Clement XII and called Galilei to Rome in 1731 to build his familys chapel , the Cappella Corsini in the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano ( completed 1732 ) . During the next six years , Galilei created all of his most notable works , which were executed in a Classical , anti-Baroque style . The most notable of these was the façade of San Giovanni in Laterano , a commission awarded after a competition ( 1733–1736 ) . The monumental severity and palace character of the façade caused a scandal in Roman artistic circles but was admired later in the century by French and British neoclassicists . Galilei also built the more conventionally Baroque façade for San Giovanni dei Fiorentini ( 1734 ) , where the cornice between lower and upper stages breaks forward at center and ends , and niches between engaged Corinthian columns and sculptural detail all provide the Baroque light-and-shade . He died in Rome .

Who was the chair of Sarcelles between Jun 1968 and Feb 1973?
|
Sarcelles Sarcelles ( ) is a commune in the northern suburbs of Paris , France . It is located from the centre of Paris . Sarcelles is a sub-prefecture of the Val-dOise department and the seat of the Arrondissement of Sarcelles . In the south of the commune , during the 1950s and 1960s , HLMs were built in order to accommodate pieds-noirs ( French settlers from Algeria ) and Jews , who left Algeria due to the Algerian War of Independence . A few Jews from Egypt settled there after the Suez crisis , and Jews from Tunisia and Morocco settled in Sarcelles after unrest and riots against Jews due to the Six-Day War and to the Yom Kippur War . Transport . Sarcelles is served by Garges – Sarcelles station on Paris RER line D . It is also served by Sarcelles – Saint-Brice station on the Transilien Paris – Nord suburban rail line . This station , although administratively located on the territory of the neighbouring commune of Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt , lies in fact very near the town centre of Sarcelles . Population . the commune has about 40,000 residents from 40 backgrounds . Immigration . A substantial number of inhabitants of the town are pieds-noirs from Northwest Africa who immigrated to France in the 1960s . Sarcelles is also home to a vibrant Jewish community and the largest concentration of Assyrians in France . Rahsaan Maxwell , author of Ethnic Minority Migrants in Britain and France : Integration Trade-Offs , stated that compared with other French communities , the ethnic minorities in Sarcelles have more influence , so therefore Sarcelles should not be considered representative of cities across metropolitan France . Residents believe that there is a Sarcelles identity , meaning any ethnic group can be a part of the city , and they believe it lowers levels of crime and violence . Compared with other parts of France , ethnic minorities in Sarcelles gained political power at a faster rate , with gains made in the 1980s instead of the 1990s and 2000s . Many politicians responded to minority demands sooner as many immigrants , especially Caribbeans and Sephardic Jews , had French citizenship . François Pupponi , the mayor in the 2000s dedicated monuments commemorating the histories of ethnic groups , authorised funding of organisations supporting specific ethnic groups such as running Arabic and Hindi language classes and permitted the use of public facilities for religious events . Pupponi argued that this style is the best method of giving many ethnic groups one sense of community . Critics argued that funding groups catering to specific ethnic groups promotes segregation . Caribbeans . , 8.7% of the population was of Caribbean origin . , many of the ethnic Caribbean residents have French citizenship . By the 1970s , Afro-Caribbeans became more interested in changing politics . By the 1980s , Guy Guyoubli , a local activist , organised an almost all-Caribbean protest list . Maxwell wrote that this demonstrated that Caribbeans had serious intentions of participating in the political system , even though there were no representatives elected from the lists . At the time , ethnic minorities across Metropolitan France were increasingly trying to influence the political system . The citys first ever two Caribbean councillors were elected in 1989 . Around 1989 , Raymond Lamontagne , the mayor , opened Metropolitan Frances first ever Caribbean-orientated , council-funded community centre . Maghrebian Muslims . In the 1950s and 1960s , Maghrebians began to arrive in Sarcelles . Political organisation came in subsequent decades . Originally , the Muslims worshipped in converted makeshift areas , but , later , purpose-built mosques appeared . In the 1990s , Maghrebians were first elected to the commune council . Maxwell wrote that Maghrebians began obtaining key positions only in the vicinity of 2012 due to low turnout and weak community organisations . Assyrian and Chaldean .

A member of the Labour Party , he was Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Neath between 1991 and 2015 . Born in Kenya Colony to South African parents , Hain came to the United Kingdom from South Africa as a teenager and was a noted anti-apartheid campaigner in the 1970s . Elected to Neath at a 1991 by-election , he initially served in Tony Blairs government as a junior minister in the Wales Office , Foreign Office and Department of Trade and Industry . Promoted to the Cabinet as Welsh Secretary in 2002 , he served concurrently as Leader of the House of Commons from 2003 to 2005 and Northern Ireland Secretary from 2005 to 2007 . Hain ran for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party in the 2007 deputy leadership election , coming fifth out of six candidates . He was promoted to Work and Pensions Secretary by new leader Gordon Brown , while remaining Welsh Secretary . His failure to declare donations during the deputy leadership contest led to his resignation from both roles in 2008 . He later returned to the Cabinet from 2009 to 2010 as Welsh Secretary . After Labour was defeated at the 2010 general election , Hain was Shadow Welsh Secretary in the Shadow Cabinet of Ed Miliband from 2010 until 2012 , when he announced his retirement from frontline politics . He announced in June 2014 he would stand down as MP for Neath at the 2015 general election and was subsequently nominated for a life peerage in the 2015 Dissolution Honours . Early life . Whilst his father was working temporarily there , Hain was born in Nairobi in what was then Kenya Colony , but he moved to the Union of South Africa when his parents returned about a year later . His South African parents , Walter Vannet Hain and Adelaine Hain ( née Stocks ) , were anti-apartheid activists in the Liberal Party of South Africa , for which they were made banned persons , briefly imprisoned , and prevented from working . Hains paternal grandparents , civil engineer Walter Vannet Hain of Dundee , and Mary Hain née Gavin of Glasgow , married in 1919 , leaving Shettleston , Lanarkshire , on 17 September 1920 on the Edinburgh Castle with their newborn baby William Ayers Vannet Hain , sailing from Southampton to South Africa . Hains father , later to become an architect , was born there on 29 December 1924 . Hains maternal grandparents were of 1820 Settler British South African stock . His 4th great-grandfather was George Southey ( 1776–1831 ) who hailed from Devon . Hain descends from his daughter , Sophia Stirk ( née Southey ) , whose brother George helped to track and kill the Xhosa tribal chief Hintsa kaKhawuta ( ca . 1790 – 1835 ) . A brother of Sophia and George Southey was Sir Richard Southey , a British colonial administrator , cabinet minister and landowner in South Africa . When Hain was 10 , he was awoken in the early hours by police officers searching his bedroom for incriminating documents . Aged 11 he was again awoken to be told his parents had been imprisoned for leafleting in support of Nelson Mandelas campaign ; they were released without charge after fourteen days detention . At 15 , Hain spoke at the funeral of John Frederick Harris , an anti-apartheid activist who was hanged for murder for the bombing of the Johannesburg main railway station , injuring 23 people and killing an elderly woman , Mrs Ethyl Rhys . Mrs Rhyss grand daughter suffered severe burns . Hain and his parents strongly opposed the bombing but stood by Harris and his wife Ann and baby son David , family friends . As a result of security police harassment , Hains father was unable to continue his work as an architect , and the family deprived of an income was forced to leave for the United Kingdom in 1966 . Life in South Africa and London . Hain was educated in South Africa at Hatfield Primary School and Pretoria Boys High School and in London at Emanuel School , a state school , later becoming a private fee-paying institution , then Queen Mary College , University of London , graduating with a first class Bachelors degree in Economics and Political Science in 1973 , and the University of Sussex , obtaining an MPhil . After university , Hain worked as a researcher for the Union of Communication Workers from September 1976 , later rising to become their head of research . Anti-apartheid . Having joined the British Anti-Apartheid Movement at aged 17 in 1967 , when Hain was 19 he became chairman of the Stop The Seventies Tour campaign which disrupted tours by the South African rugby union and cricket teams in 1969 and 1970 . In 1971 director John Goldschmidt produced a film for Granadas World in Action programme featuring Peter Hain debating Apartheid in South Africa at the Oxford Union . The film was transmitted on the ITV network . In 1972 a private prosecution resulted in Hains conviction for criminal conspiracy at the Old Bailey for which he was fined £200 . The prosecution was funded largely from apartheid-supporting whites in South Africa due to his campaign against white-only South African sports tours . He was acquitted of three other conspiracy counts after defending himself in the four week trial described in the book edited by Derek Humphry , Cricket Conspiracy ( 1972 ) . In 1972 , the South African Security Services were suspected of sending him a letter bomb that failed to explode because of faulty wiring . In 1976 Hain was tried for , and acquitted of , a 1975 bank theft , having been framed by the South African Bureau of State Security ( BOSS ) according to his 1987 book , A Putney Plot . Joining the Liberal and Labour Parties . In 1968 , he joined the Liberal Party and was elected chairperson in 1971 and then in 1975 president of the Young Liberals , but in 1977 switched to Labour . The same year , he was a founder of the Anti-Nazi League . Homosexual equality . In the 1970s , Hain was also Honorary Vice-President of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality when he clashed with lobbying interests from the Paedophile Information Exchange ( PIE ) . Member of Parliament . He contested Putney in the 1983 and 1987 general elections but was defeated on both occasions by Conservative David Mellor . He was elected to the House of Commons at the by-election in April 1991 for the Neath constituency that followed the death of the sitting member , Donald Coleman . In 1995 he became a Labour whip and in 1996 became a shadow employment minister . In government . After Labours victory in the 1997 general election he joined the government , first at the Welsh Office 1997–1999 , then as minister of state at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 1999–2001 with responsibility for Africa , the Middle East and South Asia . In November 1999 , as Africa minister he met Robert Mugabe in London ; Mugabe told him I know you are not one of them , Peter ; you are one of us , But the following day , following an attempt by Gay Rights campaigner Peter Tatchell to carry out a citizens arrest on Mugabe , Mugabe accused Hain of being Tatchells wife . In October 2000 he set up a war avoidance team to carry messages back and forth between himself and the then-Minister of Foreign Affairs in Iraq , Tariq Aziz ( a matter then confidential , which has since been put on public record in an interview with Hain by the Today programme ) . Team members who travelled repeatedly to Iraq on behalf of Hain variously included William Morris , Burhan Chalabi ( an Iraqi-born British businessman ) , and Nasser al-Khalifa ( the then-Qatari Ambassador to the UK ) . He voted for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 , later when comparing it with other questions on the Labour Partys annual conference agenda , calling it a fringe issue . However he subsequently described the Iraq invasion as a disaster and explained : I believed the evidence shown me on weapons of mass destruction later discovered to be entirely false . In 2001 , Hain moved briefly to the Department of Trade and Industry before returning to the Foreign Office as Minister for Europe , being sworn of the Privy Council the same year . He was vocal in advocating joint sovereignty of Gibraltar with Spain and was accused of deliberately misrepresenting the situation . The agreement was described by Michael Ancram in the UK Parliament , along with Gibraltar as a sell-out which was overwhelmingly rejected in a referendum in November 2002 . He remains one of the most unpopular politicians ever to visit Gibraltar . In October 2002 , he joined the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Wales , but continued to represent the UK at the Convention on the Future of Europe . In June 2003 he was made Leader of the House of Commons and Lord Privy Seal in a cabinet reshuffle , but retained the Wales portfolio . In November 2004 Hain caused controversy among his political rivals when he claimed that If we are tough on crime and on terrorism , as Labour is , then I think Britain will be safer under Labour . On 6 May 2005 , following the 2005 general election , Hain was appointed as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland by Prime Minister Tony Blair , retaining his Welsh position also . He was responsible for negotiating the settlement which brought former enemies Sinn Féin and the DUP into a power-sharing Northern Irish government from May 2007 . Although previously a supporter of Irish unity , he has since retreated from this position . On 28 June 2007 , he was appointed as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in addition to retaining responsibility for Wales . He was a proponent of the tough love measures designed to force claimants , including the sick and disabled , back to work . He saw it as an anti-poverty , full-employment agenda . He resigned from his post when the issue of donations made to his campaign funds were referred to the police . He set a level of compensation for the taxpayer funded Financial Assistance Scheme similar to that of the Industry funded Pension Protection Fund ( PPF ) for those whose schemes had collapses before the establishment of the PPF . Referring to the long running Pensions Action Group campaign and speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Moneybox program on the day compensation was announced , pensions expert Ros Altmann , credited Hain and Mike OBrien with having been very different to deal with than their predecessors and..willing and eager to engage and find a way to sort this out . Deputy leadership bid . On 12 September 2006 , he announced his candidacy for the position of Deputy Leader of the Labour Party . In January 2007 , Hain gave an interview to the New Statesman in which he made his pitch for the Deputy Leadership and referred to the Bush administration as the most right-wing American administration , if not ever , then in living memory and argued that the neo-con agenda for America has been rejected by the people and I hope that will be the case for the future . Hain was eliminated in the second round of the Deputy Leadership election , coming fifth out of the six candidates , with Harriet Harman being the successful candidate . Resignation following Labour party deputy leadership donations scandal . In January 2008 , The Guardian reported that Hain had failed to declare some 20 donations worth a total of over £100,000 during his deputy leadership campaign and would be investigated by the Electoral Commission . Hain admitted deeply regrettable administrative failings but faced questioning on whether the oversight was due to changes in campaign manager possibly causing chaos during the campaign or the desire of some donors to remain private . Phil Taylor , the first campaign manager , said that Hain insisted on knowing who had donated and that it was legal . His campaign only reported a separate £82,000 of donations and the Guardian believes he stopped taking a personal interest in funding once the campaign ended though there was no evidence that he deliberately broke the law . Taylors successor was Steve Morgan , and it later emerged that four donations were channelled through a non-operating think tank , the Progressive Policies Forum ( PPF ) which may be connected with Morgan , who was named as a donor . On 12 January , Peter Hain released a statement saying that he wanted to get on with his job and it was absurd to think he had deliberately hidden anything . John Underwood , a trustee of the PPF , said that the donations and loans were entirely permissible , though Hain said he would pay back a £25,000 interest-free loan . On 24 January 2008 , he resigned from several posts including his position as Work and Pensions secretary , after the Electoral Commission referred the failure to report donations to Metropolitan Police . He cited a desire to clear his name as the reason for his resignation . Peter Hain was the first person to resign from Gordon Browns cabinet . He was replaced as Secretary of State for Wales by Paul Murphy , and as Secretary for Work and Pensions by James Purnell in a forced cabinet reshuffle . Hains campaign had properly declared some £100,000 of donations but failed to declare £103,156 of donations , contrary to electoral law . On 3 July 2008 , the Metropolitan Police announced that they had referred Peter Hains case to the Crown Prosecution Service . On 5 December 2008 the CPS announced that Hain would not be charged because Hain was not responsible and did not control the members association Hain4Labour that funded his campaign . He returned to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Wales the following year . In opposition . Hain was re-appointed Shadow Welsh Secretary in Ed Milibands Shadow Cabinet after Milibands election as leader in 2010 . He was a supporter of the unsuccessful Alternative Vote system in the May 2011 referendum . In May 2012 , he announced his retirement from front-line politics . Attempted prosecution for contempt of court . On 27 March 2012 , the Attorney General for Northern Ireland , John Larkin QC obtained leave from Lord Justice Higgins to bring proceedings against Hain and Biteback Publishing for contempt of court . Although Hains book Outside In had already been passed by the Cabinet Office and the Northern Ireland Office prior to publication , the alleged contempt related to statements about Lord Justice Girvans disposal of an application for judicial review while Hain was Secretary of State . Hains remarks had previously been strongly criticised by the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland , Sir Declan Morgan though the decision to charge Hain with scandalising the court , using a law already obsolete in 1899 drew ridicule in Westminster and strong criticism from senior DUP ministers . According to the Attorney General , Hains statements prejudiced the administration of justice and amounted to an unjustifiable attack on the judiciary . At a preliminary hearing before a Divisional Court of the Queens Bench Division of the High Court of Justice on 24 April 2012 , Hains counsel suggested that the action had no basis in common law and was contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights . The trial was intended to take place on 19 June 2012 but the case was dropped on 17 May 2012 after Hain agreed to clarify comments to show he didnt question Girvans motives or his handling of the judicial review . House of Lords . In June 2014 , Hain announced he would stand down as the MP for Neath at the 2015 general election . He was nominated for a life peerage in the 2015 Dissolution Honours . Writing in the Guardian , he subsequently outlined his views on House of Lords reform . He was created a life peer taking the title Baron Hain , of Neath in the County of West Glamorgan , on 22 October 2015 . He is a member of Labour Friends of Israel . He remains a prominent supporter of Unite Against Fascism today and is Vice-President of Action for Southern Africa . On 25 October 2018 , he used parliamentary privilege in the House of Lords to name Sir Philip Green as the businessman accused of sexual and racial harassment by The Daily Telegraph . A legal injunction had prevented the newspaper from naming him . Following Hains statement , the accusations made against Green were widely published in the media . Hain is a remunerated adviser to the law firm acting for the alleged victims , and Green subsequently announced that , due to this conflict of interest , he would lodge a complaint with the House of Lords . Hain is a member of the Steering Committee of the Constitution Reform Group ( CRG ) , a cross-party organisation chaired by Robert Gascoyne-Cecil , 7th Marquess of Salisbury , which seeks a new constitutional settlement in the UK by way of a new Act of Union . The Constitution Reform Groups new Act of Union Bill was introduced as a Private Members Bill by Lord Lisvane in the House of Lords on 9 October 2018 , when it received a formal first reading . The Bill has been described by the BBC as one to watch in the current Parliament . Political thought . Hain has written in support of libertarian socialist arguments , identifying an axis involving a bottom-up vision of socialism , with anarchists at the revolutionary end and democratic socialists [ such as himself ] at its reformist end as opposed to the axis of state socialism with Marxist–Leninists at the revolutionary end and social democrats at the reformist end . Hain has argued for encouraging industrial democracy . This is one of the keys to the high productivity , investment and wealth needed for economic success , by helping generate greater team working and commitment which is such an important requirement of complex modern production systems . Business and charity interests . The renewed campaign for construction of the Severn Barrage by Hafren Power was led by Hain in 2012 , until Hafren Power wound up in 2014 . In May 2013 he joined Amara Mining as non-executive director until its takeover by Perseus Mining in May 2016 . On 28 October 2015 , Hain was appointed to the Board of AIM listed fertiliser company , African Potash , as non-executive Director , but resigned in November 2017 . He is Global and Governmental Adviser to Gordon Dadds PLC . Since 2014 he has been chair of Trustees of the Donald Woods Foundation , a charity working in the poverty stricken Transkei , Eastern Cape , near Nelson Mandelas homeland . He is also a Trustee of the Listen Charity . In 2016-17 he chaired the OR Tambo Centenary Organising Committee . From 2014 he has been Visiting Professor at the University of South Wales .

A member of the Labour Party , he was Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Neath between 1991 and 2015 . Born in Kenya Colony to South African parents , Hain came to the United Kingdom from South Africa as a teenager and was a noted anti-apartheid campaigner in the 1970s . Elected to Neath at a 1991 by-election , he initially served in Tony Blairs government as a junior minister in the Wales Office , Foreign Office and Department of Trade and Industry . Promoted to the Cabinet as Welsh Secretary in 2002 , he served concurrently as Leader of the House of Commons from 2003 to 2005 and Northern Ireland Secretary from 2005 to 2007 . Hain ran for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party in the 2007 deputy leadership election , coming fifth out of six candidates . He was promoted to Work and Pensions Secretary by new leader Gordon Brown , while remaining Welsh Secretary . His failure to declare donations during the deputy leadership contest led to his resignation from both roles in 2008 . He later returned to the Cabinet from 2009 to 2010 as Welsh Secretary . After Labour was defeated at the 2010 general election , Hain was Shadow Welsh Secretary in the Shadow Cabinet of Ed Miliband from 2010 until 2012 , when he announced his retirement from frontline politics . He announced in June 2014 he would stand down as MP for Neath at the 2015 general election and was subsequently nominated for a life peerage in the 2015 Dissolution Honours . Early life . Whilst his father was working temporarily there , Hain was born in Nairobi in what was then Kenya Colony , but he moved to the Union of South Africa when his parents returned about a year later . His South African parents , Walter Vannet Hain and Adelaine Hain ( née Stocks ) , were anti-apartheid activists in the Liberal Party of South Africa , for which they were made banned persons , briefly imprisoned , and prevented from working . Hains paternal grandparents , civil engineer Walter Vannet Hain of Dundee , and Mary Hain née Gavin of Glasgow , married in 1919 , leaving Shettleston , Lanarkshire , on 17 September 1920 on the Edinburgh Castle with their newborn baby William Ayers Vannet Hain , sailing from Southampton to South Africa . Hains father , later to become an architect , was born there on 29 December 1924 . Hains maternal grandparents were of 1820 Settler British South African stock . His 4th great-grandfather was George Southey ( 1776–1831 ) who hailed from Devon . Hain descends from his daughter , Sophia Stirk ( née Southey ) , whose brother George helped to track and kill the Xhosa tribal chief Hintsa kaKhawuta ( ca . 1790 – 1835 ) . A brother of Sophia and George Southey was Sir Richard Southey , a British colonial administrator , cabinet minister and landowner in South Africa . When Hain was 10 , he was awoken in the early hours by police officers searching his bedroom for incriminating documents . Aged 11 he was again awoken to be told his parents had been imprisoned for leafleting in support of Nelson Mandelas campaign ; they were released without charge after fourteen days detention . At 15 , Hain spoke at the funeral of John Frederick Harris , an anti-apartheid activist who was hanged for murder for the bombing of the Johannesburg main railway station , injuring 23 people and killing an elderly woman , Mrs Ethyl Rhys . Mrs Rhyss grand daughter suffered severe burns . Hain and his parents strongly opposed the bombing but stood by Harris and his wife Ann and baby son David , family friends . As a result of security police harassment , Hains father was unable to continue his work as an architect , and the family deprived of an income was forced to leave for the United Kingdom in 1966 . Life in South Africa and London . Hain was educated in South Africa at Hatfield Primary School and Pretoria Boys High School and in London at Emanuel School , a state school , later becoming a private fee-paying institution , then Queen Mary College , University of London , graduating with a first class Bachelors degree in Economics and Political Science in 1973 , and the University of Sussex , obtaining an MPhil . After university , Hain worked as a researcher for the Union of Communication Workers from September 1976 , later rising to become their head of research . Anti-apartheid . Having joined the British Anti-Apartheid Movement at aged 17 in 1967 , when Hain was 19 he became chairman of the Stop The Seventies Tour campaign which disrupted tours by the South African rugby union and cricket teams in 1969 and 1970 . In 1971 director John Goldschmidt produced a film for Granadas World in Action programme featuring Peter Hain debating Apartheid in South Africa at the Oxford Union . The film was transmitted on the ITV network . In 1972 a private prosecution resulted in Hains conviction for criminal conspiracy at the Old Bailey for which he was fined £200 . The prosecution was funded largely from apartheid-supporting whites in South Africa due to his campaign against white-only South African sports tours . He was acquitted of three other conspiracy counts after defending himself in the four week trial described in the book edited by Derek Humphry , Cricket Conspiracy ( 1972 ) . In 1972 , the South African Security Services were suspected of sending him a letter bomb that failed to explode because of faulty wiring . In 1976 Hain was tried for , and acquitted of , a 1975 bank theft , having been framed by the South African Bureau of State Security ( BOSS ) according to his 1987 book , A Putney Plot . Joining the Liberal and Labour Parties . In 1968 , he joined the Liberal Party and was elected chairperson in 1971 and then in 1975 president of the Young Liberals , but in 1977 switched to Labour . The same year , he was a founder of the Anti-Nazi League . Homosexual equality . In the 1970s , Hain was also Honorary Vice-President of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality when he clashed with lobbying interests from the Paedophile Information Exchange ( PIE ) . Member of Parliament . He contested Putney in the 1983 and 1987 general elections but was defeated on both occasions by Conservative David Mellor . He was elected to the House of Commons at the by-election in April 1991 for the Neath constituency that followed the death of the sitting member , Donald Coleman . In 1995 he became a Labour whip and in 1996 became a shadow employment minister . In government . After Labours victory in the 1997 general election he joined the government , first at the Welsh Office 1997–1999 , then as minister of state at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 1999–2001 with responsibility for Africa , the Middle East and South Asia . In November 1999 , as Africa minister he met Robert Mugabe in London ; Mugabe told him I know you are not one of them , Peter ; you are one of us , But the following day , following an attempt by Gay Rights campaigner Peter Tatchell to carry out a citizens arrest on Mugabe , Mugabe accused Hain of being Tatchells wife . In October 2000 he set up a war avoidance team to carry messages back and forth between himself and the then-Minister of Foreign Affairs in Iraq , Tariq Aziz ( a matter then confidential , which has since been put on public record in an interview with Hain by the Today programme ) . Team members who travelled repeatedly to Iraq on behalf of Hain variously included William Morris , Burhan Chalabi ( an Iraqi-born British businessman ) , and Nasser al-Khalifa ( the then-Qatari Ambassador to the UK ) . He voted for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 , later when comparing it with other questions on the Labour Partys annual conference agenda , calling it a fringe issue . However he subsequently described the Iraq invasion as a disaster and explained : I believed the evidence shown me on weapons of mass destruction later discovered to be entirely false . In 2001 , Hain moved briefly to the Department of Trade and Industry before returning to the Foreign Office as Minister for Europe , being sworn of the Privy Council the same year . He was vocal in advocating joint sovereignty of Gibraltar with Spain and was accused of deliberately misrepresenting the situation . The agreement was described by Michael Ancram in the UK Parliament , along with Gibraltar as a sell-out which was overwhelmingly rejected in a referendum in November 2002 . He remains one of the most unpopular politicians ever to visit Gibraltar . In October 2002 , he joined the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Wales , but continued to represent the UK at the Convention on the Future of Europe . In June 2003 he was made Leader of the House of Commons and Lord Privy Seal in a cabinet reshuffle , but retained the Wales portfolio . In November 2004 Hain caused controversy among his political rivals when he claimed that If we are tough on crime and on terrorism , as Labour is , then I think Britain will be safer under Labour . On 6 May 2005 , following the 2005 general election , Hain was appointed as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland by Prime Minister Tony Blair , retaining his Welsh position also . He was responsible for negotiating the settlement which brought former enemies Sinn Féin and the DUP into a power-sharing Northern Irish government from May 2007 . Although previously a supporter of Irish unity , he has since retreated from this position . On 28 June 2007 , he was appointed as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in addition to retaining responsibility for Wales . He was a proponent of the tough love measures designed to force claimants , including the sick and disabled , back to work . He saw it as an anti-poverty , full-employment agenda . He resigned from his post when the issue of donations made to his campaign funds were referred to the police . He set a level of compensation for the taxpayer funded Financial Assistance Scheme similar to that of the Industry funded Pension Protection Fund ( PPF ) for those whose schemes had collapses before the establishment of the PPF . Referring to the long running Pensions Action Group campaign and speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Moneybox program on the day compensation was announced , pensions expert Ros Altmann , credited Hain and Mike OBrien with having been very different to deal with than their predecessors and..willing and eager to engage and find a way to sort this out . Deputy leadership bid . On 12 September 2006 , he announced his candidacy for the position of Deputy Leader of the Labour Party . In January 2007 , Hain gave an interview to the New Statesman in which he made his pitch for the Deputy Leadership and referred to the Bush administration as the most right-wing American administration , if not ever , then in living memory and argued that the neo-con agenda for America has been rejected by the people and I hope that will be the case for the future . Hain was eliminated in the second round of the Deputy Leadership election , coming fifth out of the six candidates , with Harriet Harman being the successful candidate . Resignation following Labour party deputy leadership donations scandal . In January 2008 , The Guardian reported that Hain had failed to declare some 20 donations worth a total of over £100,000 during his deputy leadership campaign and would be investigated by the Electoral Commission . Hain admitted deeply regrettable administrative failings but faced questioning on whether the oversight was due to changes in campaign manager possibly causing chaos during the campaign or the desire of some donors to remain private . Phil Taylor , the first campaign manager , said that Hain insisted on knowing who had donated and that it was legal . His campaign only reported a separate £82,000 of donations and the Guardian believes he stopped taking a personal interest in funding once the campaign ended though there was no evidence that he deliberately broke the law . Taylors successor was Steve Morgan , and it later emerged that four donations were channelled through a non-operating think tank , the Progressive Policies Forum ( PPF ) which may be connected with Morgan , who was named as a donor . On 12 January , Peter Hain released a statement saying that he wanted to get on with his job and it was absurd to think he had deliberately hidden anything . John Underwood , a trustee of the PPF , said that the donations and loans were entirely permissible , though Hain said he would pay back a £25,000 interest-free loan . On 24 January 2008 , he resigned from several posts including his position as Work and Pensions secretary , after the Electoral Commission referred the failure to report donations to Metropolitan Police . He cited a desire to clear his name as the reason for his resignation . Peter Hain was the first person to resign from Gordon Browns cabinet . He was replaced as Secretary of State for Wales by Paul Murphy , and as Secretary for Work and Pensions by James Purnell in a forced cabinet reshuffle . Hains campaign had properly declared some £100,000 of donations but failed to declare £103,156 of donations , contrary to electoral law . On 3 July 2008 , the Metropolitan Police announced that they had referred Peter Hains case to the Crown Prosecution Service . On 5 December 2008 the CPS announced that Hain would not be charged because Hain was not responsible and did not control the members association Hain4Labour that funded his campaign . He returned to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Wales the following year . In opposition . Hain was re-appointed Shadow Welsh Secretary in Ed Milibands Shadow Cabinet after Milibands election as leader in 2010 . He was a supporter of the unsuccessful Alternative Vote system in the May 2011 referendum . In May 2012 , he announced his retirement from front-line politics . Attempted prosecution for contempt of court . On 27 March 2012 , the Attorney General for Northern Ireland , John Larkin QC obtained leave from Lord Justice Higgins to bring proceedings against Hain and Biteback Publishing for contempt of court . Although Hains book Outside In had already been passed by the Cabinet Office and the Northern Ireland Office prior to publication , the alleged contempt related to statements about Lord Justice Girvans disposal of an application for judicial review while Hain was Secretary of State . Hains remarks had previously been strongly criticised by the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland , Sir Declan Morgan though the decision to charge Hain with scandalising the court , using a law already obsolete in 1899 drew ridicule in Westminster and strong criticism from senior DUP ministers . According to the Attorney General , Hains statements prejudiced the administration of justice and amounted to an unjustifiable attack on the judiciary . At a preliminary hearing before a Divisional Court of the Queens Bench Division of the High Court of Justice on 24 April 2012 , Hains counsel suggested that the action had no basis in common law and was contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights . The trial was intended to take place on 19 June 2012 but the case was dropped on 17 May 2012 after Hain agreed to clarify comments to show he didnt question Girvans motives or his handling of the judicial review . House of Lords . In June 2014 , Hain announced he would stand down as the MP for Neath at the 2015 general election . He was nominated for a life peerage in the 2015 Dissolution Honours . Writing in the Guardian , he subsequently outlined his views on House of Lords reform . He was created a life peer taking the title Baron Hain , of Neath in the County of West Glamorgan , on 22 October 2015 . He is a member of Labour Friends of Israel . He remains a prominent supporter of Unite Against Fascism today and is Vice-President of Action for Southern Africa . On 25 October 2018 , he used parliamentary privilege in the House of Lords to name Sir Philip Green as the businessman accused of sexual and racial harassment by The Daily Telegraph . A legal injunction had prevented the newspaper from naming him . Following Hains statement , the accusations made against Green were widely published in the media . Hain is a remunerated adviser to the law firm acting for the alleged victims , and Green subsequently announced that , due to this conflict of interest , he would lodge a complaint with the House of Lords . Hain is a member of the Steering Committee of the Constitution Reform Group ( CRG ) , a cross-party organisation chaired by Robert Gascoyne-Cecil , 7th Marquess of Salisbury , which seeks a new constitutional settlement in the UK by way of a new Act of Union . The Constitution Reform Groups new Act of Union Bill was introduced as a Private Members Bill by Lord Lisvane in the House of Lords on 9 October 2018 , when it received a formal first reading . The Bill has been described by the BBC as one to watch in the current Parliament . Political thought . Hain has written in support of libertarian socialist arguments , identifying an axis involving a bottom-up vision of socialism , with anarchists at the revolutionary end and democratic socialists [ such as himself ] at its reformist end as opposed to the axis of state socialism with Marxist–Leninists at the revolutionary end and social democrats at the reformist end . Hain has argued for encouraging industrial democracy . This is one of the keys to the high productivity , investment and wealth needed for economic success , by helping generate greater team working and commitment which is such an important requirement of complex modern production systems . Business and charity interests . The renewed campaign for construction of the Severn Barrage by Hafren Power was led by Hain in 2012 , until Hafren Power wound up in 2014 . In May 2013 he joined Amara Mining as non-executive director until its takeover by Perseus Mining in May 2016 . On 28 October 2015 , Hain was appointed to the Board of AIM listed fertiliser company , African Potash , as non-executive Director , but resigned in November 2017 . He is Global and Governmental Adviser to Gordon Dadds PLC . Since 2014 he has been chair of Trustees of the Donald Woods Foundation , a charity working in the poverty stricken Transkei , Eastern Cape , near Nelson Mandelas homeland . He is also a Trustee of the Listen Charity . In 2016-17 he chaired the OR Tambo Centenary Organising Committee . From 2014 he has been Visiting Professor at the University of South Wales . In September 2016 he was appointed Visiting Professor at Witwatersrand University Business School and in September 2017 was appointed Visiting Fellow at Henley Business School . Alternative medicine . He is a member of the Advisory Council for the College of Medicine , an alternative medicine lobbying organisation set up following the disbanding of Charles , Prince of Waless Foundation for Integrated Health in the wake of a fraud investigation . Describing its mission as to take forward the vision of HRH the Prince of Wales and originally called The College of Integrated Health , several commentators , writing in The Guardian , The British Medical Journal and in the blogosphere , claim that this organisation is simply a re-branding of the controversial Foundation . It continues to act as an alternative medicine lobby group . The College has been referred to as Hamlet without the Prince . Personal life . Hain lives in Resolven in the Neath Valley . He married his first wife Patricia Western in 1975 , and they have two sons . In June 2003 , he married his second wife , Welsh businesswoman , Elizabeth Haywood , in Neath Register Office .

What was the position of Peter Hain in Jun 2007?
|
Peter Hain Peter Gerald Hain , Baron Hain ( born 16 February 1950 ) is a British politician who served as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland from 2005 to 2007 , Secretary of State for Work and Pensions from 2007 to 2008 and twice as Secretary of State for Wales from 2002 to 2008 and from 2009 to 2010 . A member of the Labour Party , he was Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Neath between 1991 and 2015 . Born in Kenya Colony to South African parents , Hain came to the United Kingdom from South Africa as a teenager and was a noted anti-apartheid campaigner in the 1970s . Elected to Neath at a 1991 by-election , he initially served in Tony Blairs government as a junior minister in the Wales Office , Foreign Office and Department of Trade and Industry . Promoted to the Cabinet as Welsh Secretary in 2002 , he served concurrently as Leader of the House of Commons from 2003 to 2005 and Northern Ireland Secretary from 2005 to 2007 . Hain ran for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party in the 2007 deputy leadership election , coming fifth out of six candidates . He was promoted to Work and Pensions Secretary by new leader Gordon Brown , while remaining Welsh Secretary . His failure to declare donations during the deputy leadership contest led to his resignation from both roles in 2008 . He later returned to the Cabinet from 2009 to 2010 as Welsh Secretary . After Labour was defeated at the 2010 general election , Hain was Shadow Welsh Secretary in the Shadow Cabinet of Ed Miliband from 2010 until 2012 , when he announced his retirement from frontline politics . He announced in June 2014 he would stand down as MP for Neath at the 2015 general election and was subsequently nominated for a life peerage in the 2015 Dissolution Honours . Early life . Whilst his father was working temporarily there , Hain was born in Nairobi in what was then Kenya Colony , but he moved to the Union of South Africa when his parents returned about a year later . His South African parents , Walter Vannet Hain and Adelaine Hain ( née Stocks ) , were anti-apartheid activists in the Liberal Party of South Africa , for which they were made banned persons , briefly imprisoned , and prevented from working . Hains paternal grandparents , civil engineer Walter Vannet Hain of Dundee , and Mary Hain née Gavin of Glasgow , married in 1919 , leaving Shettleston , Lanarkshire , on 17 September 1920 on the Edinburgh Castle with their newborn baby William Ayers Vannet Hain , sailing from Southampton to South Africa . Hains father , later to become an architect , was born there on 29 December 1924 . Hains maternal grandparents were of 1820 Settler British South African stock . His 4th great-grandfather was George Southey ( 1776–1831 ) who hailed from Devon . Hain descends from his daughter , Sophia Stirk ( née Southey ) , whose brother George helped to track and kill the Xhosa tribal chief Hintsa kaKhawuta ( ca . 1790 – 1835 ) . A brother of Sophia and George Southey was Sir Richard Southey , a British colonial administrator , cabinet minister and landowner in South Africa . When Hain was 10 , he was awoken in the early hours by police officers searching his bedroom for incriminating documents . Aged 11 he was again awoken to be told his parents had been imprisoned for leafleting in support of Nelson Mandelas campaign ; they were released without charge after fourteen days detention . At 15 , Hain spoke at the funeral of John Frederick Harris , an anti-apartheid activist who was hanged for murder for the bombing of the Johannesburg main railway station , injuring 23 people and killing an elderly woman , Mrs Ethyl Rhys . Mrs Rhyss grand daughter suffered severe burns . Hain and his parents strongly opposed the bombing but stood by Harris and his wife Ann and baby son David , family friends . As a result of security police harassment , Hains father was unable to continue his work as an architect , and the family deprived of an income was forced to leave for the United Kingdom in 1966 . Life in South Africa and London . Hain was educated in South Africa at Hatfield Primary School and Pretoria Boys High School and in London at Emanuel School , a state school , later becoming a private fee-paying institution , then Queen Mary College , University of London , graduating with a first class Bachelors degree in Economics and Political Science in 1973 , and the University of Sussex , obtaining an MPhil . After university , Hain worked as a researcher for the Union of Communication Workers from September 1976 , later rising to become their head of research . Anti-apartheid . Having joined the British Anti-Apartheid Movement at aged 17 in 1967 , when Hain was 19 he became chairman of the Stop The Seventies Tour campaign which disrupted tours by the South African rugby union and cricket teams in 1969 and 1970 . In 1971 director John Goldschmidt produced a film for Granadas World in Action programme featuring Peter Hain debating Apartheid in South Africa at the Oxford Union . The film was transmitted on the ITV network . In 1972 a private prosecution resulted in Hains conviction for criminal conspiracy at the Old Bailey for which he was fined £200 . The prosecution was funded largely from apartheid-supporting whites in South Africa due to his campaign against white-only South African sports tours . He was acquitted of three other conspiracy counts after defending himself in the four week trial described in the book edited by Derek Humphry , Cricket Conspiracy ( 1972 ) . In 1972 , the South African Security Services were suspected of sending him a letter bomb that failed to explode because of faulty wiring . In 1976 Hain was tried for , and acquitted of , a 1975 bank theft , having been framed by the South African Bureau of State Security ( BOSS ) according to his 1987 book , A Putney Plot . Joining the Liberal and Labour Parties . In 1968 , he joined the Liberal Party and was elected chairperson in 1971 and then in 1975 president of the Young Liberals , but in 1977 switched to Labour . The same year , he was a founder of the Anti-Nazi League . Homosexual equality . In the 1970s , Hain was also Honorary Vice-President of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality when he clashed with lobbying interests from the Paedophile Information Exchange ( PIE ) . Member of Parliament . He contested Putney in the 1983 and 1987 general elections but was defeated on both occasions by Conservative David Mellor . He was elected to the House of Commons at the by-election in April 1991 for the Neath constituency that followed the death of the sitting member , Donald Coleman . In 1995 he became a Labour whip and in 1996 became a shadow employment minister . In government . After Labours victory in the 1997 general election he joined the government , first at the Welsh Office 1997–1999 , then as minister of state at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 1999–2001 with responsibility for Africa , the Middle East and South Asia . In November 1999 , as Africa minister he met Robert Mugabe in London ; Mugabe told him I know you are not one of them , Peter ; you are one of us , But the following day , following an attempt by Gay Rights campaigner Peter Tatchell to carry out a citizens arrest on Mugabe , Mugabe accused Hain of being Tatchells wife . In October 2000 he set up a war avoidance team to carry messages back and forth between himself and the then-Minister of Foreign Affairs in Iraq , Tariq Aziz ( a matter then confidential , which has since been put on public record in an interview with Hain by the Today programme ) . Team members who travelled repeatedly to Iraq on behalf of Hain variously included William Morris , Burhan Chalabi ( an Iraqi-born British businessman ) , and Nasser al-Khalifa ( the then-Qatari Ambassador to the UK ) . He voted for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 , later when comparing it with other questions on the Labour Partys annual conference agenda , calling it a fringe issue . However he subsequently described the Iraq invasion as a disaster and explained : I believed the evidence shown me on weapons of mass destruction later discovered to be entirely false . In 2001 , Hain moved briefly to the Department of Trade and Industry before returning to the Foreign Office as Minister for Europe , being sworn of the Privy Council the same year . He was vocal in advocating joint sovereignty of Gibraltar with Spain and was accused of deliberately misrepresenting the situation . The agreement was described by Michael Ancram in the UK Parliament , along with Gibraltar as a sell-out which was overwhelmingly rejected in a referendum in November 2002 . He remains one of the most unpopular politicians ever to visit Gibraltar . In October 2002 , he joined the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Wales , but continued to represent the UK at the Convention on the Future of Europe . In June 2003 he was made Leader of the House of Commons and Lord Privy Seal in a cabinet reshuffle , but retained the Wales portfolio . In November 2004 Hain caused controversy among his political rivals when he claimed that If we are tough on crime and on terrorism , as Labour is , then I think Britain will be safer under Labour . On 6 May 2005 , following the 2005 general election , Hain was appointed as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland by Prime Minister Tony Blair , retaining his Welsh position also . He was responsible for negotiating the settlement which brought former enemies Sinn Féin and the DUP into a power-sharing Northern Irish government from May 2007 . Although previously a supporter of Irish unity , he has since retreated from this position . On 28 June 2007 , he was appointed as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in addition to retaining responsibility for Wales . He was a proponent of the tough love measures designed to force claimants , including the sick and disabled , back to work . He saw it as an anti-poverty , full-employment agenda . He resigned from his post when the issue of donations made to his campaign funds were referred to the police . He set a level of compensation for the taxpayer funded Financial Assistance Scheme similar to that of the Industry funded Pension Protection Fund ( PPF ) for those whose schemes had collapses before the establishment of the PPF . Referring to the long running Pensions Action Group campaign and speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Moneybox program on the day compensation was announced , pensions expert Ros Altmann , credited Hain and Mike OBrien with having been very different to deal with than their predecessors and..willing and eager to engage and find a way to sort this out . Deputy leadership bid . On 12 September 2006 , he announced his candidacy for the position of Deputy Leader of the Labour Party . In January 2007 , Hain gave an interview to the New Statesman in which he made his pitch for the Deputy Leadership and referred to the Bush administration as the most right-wing American administration , if not ever , then in living memory and argued that the neo-con agenda for America has been rejected by the people and I hope that will be the case for the future . Hain was eliminated in the second round of the Deputy Leadership election , coming fifth out of the six candidates , with Harriet Harman being the successful candidate . Resignation following Labour party deputy leadership donations scandal . In January 2008 , The Guardian reported that Hain had failed to declare some 20 donations worth a total of over £100,000 during his deputy leadership campaign and would be investigated by the Electoral Commission . Hain admitted deeply regrettable administrative failings but faced questioning on whether the oversight was due to changes in campaign manager possibly causing chaos during the campaign or the desire of some donors to remain private . Phil Taylor , the first campaign manager , said that Hain insisted on knowing who had donated and that it was legal . His campaign only reported a separate £82,000 of donations and the Guardian believes he stopped taking a personal interest in funding once the campaign ended though there was no evidence that he deliberately broke the law . Taylors successor was Steve Morgan , and it later emerged that four donations were channelled through a non-operating think tank , the Progressive Policies Forum ( PPF ) which may be connected with Morgan , who was named as a donor . On 12 January , Peter Hain released a statement saying that he wanted to get on with his job and it was absurd to think he had deliberately hidden anything . John Underwood , a trustee of the PPF , said that the donations and loans were entirely permissible , though Hain said he would pay back a £25,000 interest-free loan . On 24 January 2008 , he resigned from several posts including his position as Work and Pensions secretary , after the Electoral Commission referred the failure to report donations to Metropolitan Police . He cited a desire to clear his name as the reason for his resignation . Peter Hain was the first person to resign from Gordon Browns cabinet . He was replaced as Secretary of State for Wales by Paul Murphy , and as Secretary for Work and Pensions by James Purnell in a forced cabinet reshuffle . Hains campaign had properly declared some £100,000 of donations but failed to declare £103,156 of donations , contrary to electoral law . On 3 July 2008 , the Metropolitan Police announced that they had referred Peter Hains case to the Crown Prosecution Service . On 5 December 2008 the CPS announced that Hain would not be charged because Hain was not responsible and did not control the members association Hain4Labour that funded his campaign . He returned to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Wales the following year . In opposition . Hain was re-appointed Shadow Welsh Secretary in Ed Milibands Shadow Cabinet after Milibands election as leader in 2010 . He was a supporter of the unsuccessful Alternative Vote system in the May 2011 referendum . In May 2012 , he announced his retirement from front-line politics . Attempted prosecution for contempt of court . On 27 March 2012 , the Attorney General for Northern Ireland , John Larkin QC obtained leave from Lord Justice Higgins to bring proceedings against Hain and Biteback Publishing for contempt of court . Although Hains book Outside In had already been passed by the Cabinet Office and the Northern Ireland Office prior to publication , the alleged contempt related to statements about Lord Justice Girvans disposal of an application for judicial review while Hain was Secretary of State . Hains remarks had previously been strongly criticised by the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland , Sir Declan Morgan though the decision to charge Hain with scandalising the court , using a law already obsolete in 1899 drew ridicule in Westminster and strong criticism from senior DUP ministers . According to the Attorney General , Hains statements prejudiced the administration of justice and amounted to an unjustifiable attack on the judiciary . At a preliminary hearing before a Divisional Court of the Queens Bench Division of the High Court of Justice on 24 April 2012 , Hains counsel suggested that the action had no basis in common law and was contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights . The trial was intended to take place on 19 June 2012 but the case was dropped on 17 May 2012 after Hain agreed to clarify comments to show he didnt question Girvans motives or his handling of the judicial review . House of Lords . In June 2014 , Hain announced he would stand down as the MP for Neath at the 2015 general election . He was nominated for a life peerage in the 2015 Dissolution Honours . Writing in the Guardian , he subsequently outlined his views on House of Lords reform . He was created a life peer taking the title Baron Hain , of Neath in the County of West Glamorgan , on 22 October 2015 . He is a member of Labour Friends of Israel . He remains a prominent supporter of Unite Against Fascism today and is Vice-President of Action for Southern Africa . On 25 October 2018 , he used parliamentary privilege in the House of Lords to name Sir Philip Green as the businessman accused of sexual and racial harassment by The Daily Telegraph . A legal injunction had prevented the newspaper from naming him . Following Hains statement , the accusations made against Green were widely published in the media . Hain is a remunerated adviser to the law firm acting for the alleged victims , and Green subsequently announced that , due to this conflict of interest , he would lodge a complaint with the House of Lords . Hain is a member of the Steering Committee of the Constitution Reform Group ( CRG ) , a cross-party organisation chaired by Robert Gascoyne-Cecil , 7th Marquess of Salisbury , which seeks a new constitutional settlement in the UK by way of a new Act of Union . The Constitution Reform Groups new Act of Union Bill was introduced as a Private Members Bill by Lord Lisvane in the House of Lords on 9 October 2018 , when it received a formal first reading . The Bill has been described by the BBC as one to watch in the current Parliament . Political thought . Hain has written in support of libertarian socialist arguments , identifying an axis involving a bottom-up vision of socialism , with anarchists at the revolutionary end and democratic socialists [ such as himself ] at its reformist end as opposed to the axis of state socialism with Marxist–Leninists at the revolutionary end and social democrats at the reformist end . Hain has argued for encouraging industrial democracy . This is one of the keys to the high productivity , investment and wealth needed for economic success , by helping generate greater team working and commitment which is such an important requirement of complex modern production systems . Business and charity interests . The renewed campaign for construction of the Severn Barrage by Hafren Power was led by Hain in 2012 , until Hafren Power wound up in 2014 . In May 2013 he joined Amara Mining as non-executive director until its takeover by Perseus Mining in May 2016 .

On 24 January 2008 , he resigned from several posts including his position as Work and Pensions secretary , after the Electoral Commission referred the failure to report donations to Metropolitan Police . He cited a desire to clear his name as the reason for his resignation . Peter Hain was the first person to resign from Gordon Browns cabinet . He was replaced as Secretary of State for Wales by Paul Murphy , and as Secretary for Work and Pensions by James Purnell in a forced cabinet reshuffle .

On 3 July 2008 , the Metropolitan Police announced that they had referred Peter Hains case to the Crown Prosecution Service . On 5 December 2008 the CPS announced that Hain would not be charged because Hain was not responsible and did not control the members association Hain4Labour that funded his campaign .

Although Hains book Outside In had already been passed by the Cabinet Office and the Northern Ireland Office prior to publication , the alleged contempt related to statements about Lord Justice Girvans disposal of an application for judicial review while Hain was Secretary of State . Hains remarks had previously been strongly criticised by the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland , Sir Declan Morgan though the decision to charge Hain with scandalising the court , using a law already obsolete in 1899 drew ridicule in Westminster and strong criticism from senior DUP ministers . According to the Attorney General , Hains statements prejudiced the administration of justice and amounted to an unjustifiable attack on the judiciary . At a preliminary hearing before a Divisional Court of the Queens Bench Division of the High Court of Justice on 24 April 2012 , Hains counsel suggested that the action had no basis in common law and was contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights .

A legal injunction had prevented the newspaper from naming him . Following Hains statement , the accusations made against Green were widely published in the media . Hain is a remunerated adviser to the law firm acting for the alleged victims , and Green subsequently announced that , due to this conflict of interest , he would lodge a complaint with the House of Lords .

His failure to declare donations during the deputy leadership contest led to his resignation from both roles in 2008 . He later returned to the Cabinet from 2009 to 2010 as Welsh Secretary . After Labour was defeated at the 2010 general election , Hain was Shadow Welsh Secretary in the Shadow Cabinet of Ed Miliband from 2010 until 2012 , when he announced his retirement from frontline politics . He announced in June 2014 he would stand down as MP for Neath at the 2015 general election and was subsequently nominated for a life peerage in the 2015 Dissolution Honours . Early life . Whilst his father was working temporarily there , Hain was born in Nairobi in what was then Kenya Colony , but he moved to the Union of South Africa when his parents returned about a year later . His South African parents , Walter Vannet Hain and Adelaine Hain ( née Stocks ) , were anti-apartheid activists in the Liberal Party of South Africa , for which they were made banned persons , briefly imprisoned , and prevented from working . Hains paternal grandparents , civil engineer Walter Vannet Hain of Dundee , and Mary Hain née Gavin of Glasgow , married in 1919 , leaving Shettleston , Lanarkshire , on 17 September 1920 on the Edinburgh Castle with their newborn baby William Ayers Vannet Hain , sailing from Southampton to South Africa . Hains father , later to become an architect , was born there on 29 December 1924 . Hains maternal grandparents were of 1820 Settler British South African stock . His 4th great-grandfather was George Southey ( 1776–1831 ) who hailed from Devon . Hain descends from his daughter , Sophia Stirk ( née Southey ) , whose brother George helped to track and kill the Xhosa tribal chief Hintsa kaKhawuta ( ca . 1790 – 1835 ) . A brother of Sophia and George Southey was Sir Richard Southey , a British colonial administrator , cabinet minister and landowner in South Africa . When Hain was 10 , he was awoken in the early hours by police officers searching his bedroom for incriminating documents . Aged 11 he was again awoken to be told his parents had been imprisoned for leafleting in support of Nelson Mandelas campaign ; they were released without charge after fourteen days detention . At 15 , Hain spoke at the funeral of John Frederick Harris , an anti-apartheid activist who was hanged for murder for the bombing of the Johannesburg main railway station , injuring 23 people and killing an elderly woman , Mrs Ethyl Rhys . Mrs Rhyss grand daughter suffered severe burns . Hain and his parents strongly opposed the bombing but stood by Harris and his wife Ann and baby son David , family friends . As a result of security police harassment , Hains father was unable to continue his work as an architect , and the family deprived of an income was forced to leave for the United Kingdom in 1966 . Life in South Africa and London . Hain was educated in South Africa at Hatfield Primary School and Pretoria Boys High School and in London at Emanuel School , a state school , later becoming a private fee-paying institution , then Queen Mary College , University of London , graduating with a first class Bachelors degree in Economics and Political Science in 1973 , and the University of Sussex , obtaining an MPhil . After university , Hain worked as a researcher for the Union of Communication Workers from September 1976 , later rising to become their head of research . Anti-apartheid . Having joined the British Anti-Apartheid Movement at aged 17 in 1967 , when Hain was 19 he became chairman of the Stop The Seventies Tour campaign which disrupted tours by the South African rugby union and cricket teams in 1969 and 1970 . In 1971 director John Goldschmidt produced a film for Granadas World in Action programme featuring Peter Hain debating Apartheid in South Africa at the Oxford Union . The film was transmitted on the ITV network . In 1972 a private prosecution resulted in Hains conviction for criminal conspiracy at the Old Bailey for which he was fined £200 . The prosecution was funded largely from apartheid-supporting whites in South Africa due to his campaign against white-only South African sports tours . He was acquitted of three other conspiracy counts after defending himself in the four week trial described in the book edited by Derek Humphry , Cricket Conspiracy ( 1972 ) . In 1972 , the South African Security Services were suspected of sending him a letter bomb that failed to explode because of faulty wiring . In 1976 Hain was tried for , and acquitted of , a 1975 bank theft , having been framed by the South African Bureau of State Security ( BOSS ) according to his 1987 book , A Putney Plot . Joining the Liberal and Labour Parties . In 1968 , he joined the Liberal Party and was elected chairperson in 1971 and then in 1975 president of the Young Liberals , but in 1977 switched to Labour . The same year , he was a founder of the Anti-Nazi League . Homosexual equality . In the 1970s , Hain was also Honorary Vice-President of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality when he clashed with lobbying interests from the Paedophile Information Exchange ( PIE ) . Member of Parliament . He contested Putney in the 1983 and 1987 general elections but was defeated on both occasions by Conservative David Mellor .

In 1995 he became a Labour whip and in 1996 became a shadow employment minister . In government . After Labours victory in the 1997 general election he joined the government , first at the Welsh Office 1997–1999 , then as minister of state at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 1999–2001 with responsibility for Africa , the Middle East and South Asia . In November 1999 , as Africa minister he met Robert Mugabe in London ; Mugabe told him I know you are not one of them , Peter ; you are one of us , But the following day , following an attempt by Gay Rights campaigner Peter Tatchell to carry out a citizens arrest on Mugabe , Mugabe accused Hain of being Tatchells wife . In October 2000 he set up a war avoidance team to carry messages back and forth between himself and the then-Minister of Foreign Affairs in Iraq , Tariq Aziz ( a matter then confidential , which has since been put on public record in an interview with Hain by the Today programme ) . Team members who travelled repeatedly to Iraq on behalf of Hain variously included William Morris , Burhan Chalabi ( an Iraqi-born British businessman ) , and Nasser al-Khalifa ( the then-Qatari Ambassador to the UK ) . He voted for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 , later when comparing it with other questions on the Labour Partys annual conference agenda , calling it a fringe issue . However he subsequently described the Iraq invasion as a disaster and explained : I believed the evidence shown me on weapons of mass destruction later discovered to be entirely false . In 2001 , Hain moved briefly to the Department of Trade and Industry before returning to the Foreign Office as Minister for Europe , being sworn of the Privy Council the same year . He was vocal in advocating joint sovereignty of Gibraltar with Spain and was accused of deliberately misrepresenting the situation . The agreement was described by Michael Ancram in the UK Parliament , along with Gibraltar as a sell-out which was overwhelmingly rejected in a referendum in November 2002 . He remains one of the most unpopular politicians ever to visit Gibraltar . In October 2002 , he joined the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Wales , but continued to represent the UK at the Convention on the Future of Europe . In June 2003 he was made Leader of the House of Commons and Lord Privy Seal in a cabinet reshuffle , but retained the Wales portfolio . In November 2004 Hain caused controversy among his political rivals when he claimed that If we are tough on crime and on terrorism , as Labour is , then I think Britain will be safer under Labour . On 6 May 2005 , following the 2005 general election , Hain was appointed as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland by Prime Minister Tony Blair , retaining his Welsh position also . He was responsible for negotiating the settlement which brought former enemies Sinn Féin and the DUP into a power-sharing Northern Irish government from May 2007 . Although previously a supporter of Irish unity , he has since retreated from this position . On 28 June 2007 , he was appointed as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in addition to retaining responsibility for Wales . He was a proponent of the tough love measures designed to force claimants , including the sick and disabled , back to work . He saw it as an anti-poverty , full-employment agenda . He resigned from his post when the issue of donations made to his campaign funds were referred to the police . He set a level of compensation for the taxpayer funded Financial Assistance Scheme similar to that of the Industry funded Pension Protection Fund ( PPF ) for those whose schemes had collapses before the establishment of the PPF . Referring to the long running Pensions Action Group campaign and speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Moneybox program on the day compensation was announced , pensions expert Ros Altmann , credited Hain and Mike OBrien with having been very different to deal with than their predecessors and..willing and eager to engage and find a way to sort this out . Deputy leadership bid . On 12 September 2006 , he announced his candidacy for the position of Deputy Leader of the Labour Party . In January 2007 , Hain gave an interview to the New Statesman in which he made his pitch for the Deputy Leadership and referred to the Bush administration as the most right-wing American administration , if not ever , then in living memory and argued that the neo-con agenda for America has been rejected by the people and I hope that will be the case for the future . Hain was eliminated in the second round of the Deputy Leadership election , coming fifth out of the six candidates , with Harriet Harman being the successful candidate . Resignation following Labour party deputy leadership donations scandal . In January 2008 , The Guardian reported that Hain had failed to declare some 20 donations worth a total of over £100,000 during his deputy leadership campaign and would be investigated by the Electoral Commission . Hain admitted deeply regrettable administrative failings but faced questioning on whether the oversight was due to changes in campaign manager possibly causing chaos during the campaign or the desire of some donors to remain private . Phil Taylor , the first campaign manager , said that Hain insisted on knowing who had donated and that it was legal . His campaign only reported a separate £82,000 of donations and the Guardian believes he stopped taking a personal interest in funding once the campaign ended though there was no evidence that he deliberately broke the law . Taylors successor was Steve Morgan , and it later emerged that four donations were channelled through a non-operating think tank , the Progressive Policies Forum ( PPF ) which may be connected with Morgan , who was named as a donor . On 12 January , Peter Hain released a statement saying that he wanted to get on with his job and it was absurd to think he had deliberately hidden anything . John Underwood , a trustee of the PPF , said that the donations and loans were entirely permissible , though Hain said he would pay back a £25,000 interest-free loan . On 24 January 2008 , he resigned from several posts including his position as Work and Pensions secretary , after the Electoral Commission referred the failure to report donations to Metropolitan Police . He cited a desire to clear his name as the reason for his resignation . Peter Hain was the first person to resign from Gordon Browns cabinet . He was replaced as Secretary of State for Wales by Paul Murphy , and as Secretary for Work and Pensions by James Purnell in a forced cabinet reshuffle . Hains campaign had properly declared some £100,000 of donations but failed to declare £103,156 of donations , contrary to electoral law . On 3 July 2008 , the Metropolitan Police announced that they had referred Peter Hains case to the Crown Prosecution Service . On 5 December 2008 the CPS announced that Hain would not be charged because Hain was not responsible and did not control the members association Hain4Labour that funded his campaign . He returned to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Wales the following year . In opposition . Hain was re-appointed Shadow Welsh Secretary in Ed Milibands Shadow Cabinet after Milibands election as leader in 2010 . He was a supporter of the unsuccessful Alternative Vote system in the May 2011 referendum . In May 2012 , he announced his retirement from front-line politics . Attempted prosecution for contempt of court . On 27 March 2012 , the Attorney General for Northern Ireland , John Larkin QC obtained leave from Lord Justice Higgins to bring proceedings against Hain and Biteback Publishing for contempt of court . Although Hains book Outside In had already been passed by the Cabinet Office and the Northern Ireland Office prior to publication , the alleged contempt related to statements about Lord Justice Girvans disposal of an application for judicial review while Hain was Secretary of State . Hains remarks had previously been strongly criticised by the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland , Sir Declan Morgan though the decision to charge Hain with scandalising the court , using a law already obsolete in 1899 drew ridicule in Westminster and strong criticism from senior DUP ministers . According to the Attorney General , Hains statements prejudiced the administration of justice and amounted to an unjustifiable attack on the judiciary . At a preliminary hearing before a Divisional Court of the Queens Bench Division of the High Court of Justice on 24 April 2012 , Hains counsel suggested that the action had no basis in common law and was contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights . The trial was intended to take place on 19 June 2012 but the case was dropped on 17 May 2012 after Hain agreed to clarify comments to show he didnt question Girvans motives or his handling of the judicial review . House of Lords . In June 2014 , Hain announced he would stand down as the MP for Neath at the 2015 general election . He was nominated for a life peerage in the 2015 Dissolution Honours . Writing in the Guardian , he subsequently outlined his views on House of Lords reform . He was created a life peer taking the title Baron Hain , of Neath in the County of West Glamorgan , on 22 October 2015 . He is a member of Labour Friends of Israel . He remains a prominent supporter of Unite Against Fascism today and is Vice-President of Action for Southern Africa . On 25 October 2018 , he used parliamentary privilege in the House of Lords to name Sir Philip Green as the businessman accused of sexual and racial harassment by The Daily Telegraph . A legal injunction had prevented the newspaper from naming him . Following Hains statement , the accusations made against Green were widely published in the media . Hain is a remunerated adviser to the law firm acting for the alleged victims , and Green subsequently announced that , due to this conflict of interest , he would lodge a complaint with the House of Lords . Hain is a member of the Steering Committee of the Constitution Reform Group ( CRG ) , a cross-party organisation chaired by Robert Gascoyne-Cecil , 7th Marquess of Salisbury , which seeks a new constitutional settlement in the UK by way of a new Act of Union . The Constitution Reform Groups new Act of Union Bill was introduced as a Private Members Bill by Lord Lisvane in the House of Lords on 9 October 2018 , when it received a formal first reading . The Bill has been described by the BBC as one to watch in the current Parliament . Political thought . Hain has written in support of libertarian socialist arguments , identifying an axis involving a bottom-up vision of socialism , with anarchists at the revolutionary end and democratic socialists [ such as himself ] at its reformist end as opposed to the axis of state socialism with Marxist–Leninists at the revolutionary end and social democrats at the reformist end . Hain has argued for encouraging industrial democracy . This is one of the keys to the high productivity , investment and wealth needed for economic success , by helping generate greater team working and commitment which is such an important requirement of complex modern production systems . Business and charity interests . The renewed campaign for construction of the Severn Barrage by Hafren Power was led by Hain in 2012 , until Hafren Power wound up in 2014 . In May 2013 he joined Amara Mining as non-executive director until its takeover by Perseus Mining in May 2016 . On 28 October 2015 , Hain was appointed to the Board of AIM listed fertiliser company , African Potash , as non-executive Director , but resigned in November 2017 . He is Global and Governmental Adviser to Gordon Dadds PLC . Since 2014 he has been chair of Trustees of the Donald Woods Foundation , a charity working in the poverty stricken Transkei , Eastern Cape , near Nelson Mandelas homeland . He is also a Trustee of the Listen Charity . In 2016-17 he chaired the OR Tambo Centenary Organising Committee . From 2014 he has been Visiting Professor at the University of South Wales . In September 2016 he was appointed Visiting Professor at Witwatersrand University Business School and in September 2017 was appointed Visiting Fellow at Henley Business School . Alternative medicine . He is a member of the Advisory Council for the College of Medicine , an alternative medicine lobbying organisation set up following the disbanding of Charles , Prince of Waless Foundation for Integrated Health in the wake of a fraud investigation . Describing its mission as to take forward the vision of HRH the Prince of Wales and originally called The College of Integrated Health , several commentators , writing in The Guardian , The British Medical Journal and in the blogosphere , claim that this organisation is simply a re-branding of the controversial Foundation . It continues to act as an alternative medicine lobby group . The College has been referred to as Hamlet without the Prince . Personal life . Hain lives in Resolven in the Neath Valley . He married his first wife Patricia Western in 1975 , and they have two sons . In June 2003 , he married his second wife , Welsh businesswoman , Elizabeth Haywood , in Neath Register Office .

What was the position of Peter Hain between Feb 2012 and Jul 2013?
|
Peter Hain Peter Gerald Hain , Baron Hain ( born 16 February 1950 ) is a British politician who served as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland from 2005 to 2007 , Secretary of State for Work and Pensions from 2007 to 2008 and twice as Secretary of State for Wales from 2002 to 2008 and from 2009 to 2010 . A member of the Labour Party , he was Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Neath between 1991 and 2015 . Born in Kenya Colony to South African parents , Hain came to the United Kingdom from South Africa as a teenager and was a noted anti-apartheid campaigner in the 1970s . Elected to Neath at a 1991 by-election , he initially served in Tony Blairs government as a junior minister in the Wales Office , Foreign Office and Department of Trade and Industry . Promoted to the Cabinet as Welsh Secretary in 2002 , he served concurrently as Leader of the House of Commons from 2003 to 2005 and Northern Ireland Secretary from 2005 to 2007 . Hain ran for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party in the 2007 deputy leadership election , coming fifth out of six candidates . He was promoted to Work and Pensions Secretary by new leader Gordon Brown , while remaining Welsh Secretary . His failure to declare donations during the deputy leadership contest led to his resignation from both roles in 2008 . He later returned to the Cabinet from 2009 to 2010 as Welsh Secretary . After Labour was defeated at the 2010 general election , Hain was Shadow Welsh Secretary in the Shadow Cabinet of Ed Miliband from 2010 until 2012 , when he announced his retirement from frontline politics . He announced in June 2014 he would stand down as MP for Neath at the 2015 general election and was subsequently nominated for a life peerage in the 2015 Dissolution Honours . Early life . Whilst his father was working temporarily there , Hain was born in Nairobi in what was then Kenya Colony , but he moved to the Union of South Africa when his parents returned about a year later . His South African parents , Walter Vannet Hain and Adelaine Hain ( née Stocks ) , were anti-apartheid activists in the Liberal Party of South Africa , for which they were made banned persons , briefly imprisoned , and prevented from working . Hains paternal grandparents , civil engineer Walter Vannet Hain of Dundee , and Mary Hain née Gavin of Glasgow , married in 1919 , leaving Shettleston , Lanarkshire , on 17 September 1920 on the Edinburgh Castle with their newborn baby William Ayers Vannet Hain , sailing from Southampton to South Africa . Hains father , later to become an architect , was born there on 29 December 1924 . Hains maternal grandparents were of 1820 Settler British South African stock . His 4th great-grandfather was George Southey ( 1776–1831 ) who hailed from Devon . Hain descends from his daughter , Sophia Stirk ( née Southey ) , whose brother George helped to track and kill the Xhosa tribal chief Hintsa kaKhawuta ( ca . 1790 – 1835 ) . A brother of Sophia and George Southey was Sir Richard Southey , a British colonial administrator , cabinet minister and landowner in South Africa . When Hain was 10 , he was awoken in the early hours by police officers searching his bedroom for incriminating documents . Aged 11 he was again awoken to be told his parents had been imprisoned for leafleting in support of Nelson Mandelas campaign ; they were released without charge after fourteen days detention . At 15 , Hain spoke at the funeral of John Frederick Harris , an anti-apartheid activist who was hanged for murder for the bombing of the Johannesburg main railway station , injuring 23 people and killing an elderly woman , Mrs Ethyl Rhys . Mrs Rhyss grand daughter suffered severe burns . Hain and his parents strongly opposed the bombing but stood by Harris and his wife Ann and baby son David , family friends . As a result of security police harassment , Hains father was unable to continue his work as an architect , and the family deprived of an income was forced to leave for the United Kingdom in 1966 . Life in South Africa and London . Hain was educated in South Africa at Hatfield Primary School and Pretoria Boys High School and in London at Emanuel School , a state school , later becoming a private fee-paying institution , then Queen Mary College , University of London , graduating with a first class Bachelors degree in Economics and Political Science in 1973 , and the University of Sussex , obtaining an MPhil . After university , Hain worked as a researcher for the Union of Communication Workers from September 1976 , later rising to become their head of research . Anti-apartheid . Having joined the British Anti-Apartheid Movement at aged 17 in 1967 , when Hain was 19 he became chairman of the Stop The Seventies Tour campaign which disrupted tours by the South African rugby union and cricket teams in 1969 and 1970 . In 1971 director John Goldschmidt produced a film for Granadas World in Action programme featuring Peter Hain debating Apartheid in South Africa at the Oxford Union . The film was transmitted on the ITV network . In 1972 a private prosecution resulted in Hains conviction for criminal conspiracy at the Old Bailey for which he was fined £200 . The prosecution was funded largely from apartheid-supporting whites in South Africa due to his campaign against white-only South African sports tours . He was acquitted of three other conspiracy counts after defending himself in the four week trial described in the book edited by Derek Humphry , Cricket Conspiracy ( 1972 ) . In 1972 , the South African Security Services were suspected of sending him a letter bomb that failed to explode because of faulty wiring . In 1976 Hain was tried for , and acquitted of , a 1975 bank theft , having been framed by the South African Bureau of State Security ( BOSS ) according to his 1987 book , A Putney Plot . Joining the Liberal and Labour Parties . In 1968 , he joined the Liberal Party and was elected chairperson in 1971 and then in 1975 president of the Young Liberals , but in 1977 switched to Labour . The same year , he was a founder of the Anti-Nazi League . Homosexual equality . In the 1970s , Hain was also Honorary Vice-President of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality when he clashed with lobbying interests from the Paedophile Information Exchange ( PIE ) . Member of Parliament . He contested Putney in the 1983 and 1987 general elections but was defeated on both occasions by Conservative David Mellor . He was elected to the House of Commons at the by-election in April 1991 for the Neath constituency that followed the death of the sitting member , Donald Coleman . In 1995 he became a Labour whip and in 1996 became a shadow employment minister . In government . After Labours victory in the 1997 general election he joined the government , first at the Welsh Office 1997–1999 , then as minister of state at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 1999–2001 with responsibility for Africa , the Middle East and South Asia . In November 1999 , as Africa minister he met Robert Mugabe in London ; Mugabe told him I know you are not one of them , Peter ; you are one of us , But the following day , following an attempt by Gay Rights campaigner Peter Tatchell to carry out a citizens arrest on Mugabe , Mugabe accused Hain of being Tatchells wife . In October 2000 he set up a war avoidance team to carry messages back and forth between himself and the then-Minister of Foreign Affairs in Iraq , Tariq Aziz ( a matter then confidential , which has since been put on public record in an interview with Hain by the Today programme ) . Team members who travelled repeatedly to Iraq on behalf of Hain variously included William Morris , Burhan Chalabi ( an Iraqi-born British businessman ) , and Nasser al-Khalifa ( the then-Qatari Ambassador to the UK ) . He voted for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 , later when comparing it with other questions on the Labour Partys annual conference agenda , calling it a fringe issue . However he subsequently described the Iraq invasion as a disaster and explained : I believed the evidence shown me on weapons of mass destruction later discovered to be entirely false . In 2001 , Hain moved briefly to the Department of Trade and Industry before returning to the Foreign Office as Minister for Europe , being sworn of the Privy Council the same year . He was vocal in advocating joint sovereignty of Gibraltar with Spain and was accused of deliberately misrepresenting the situation . The agreement was described by Michael Ancram in the UK Parliament , along with Gibraltar as a sell-out which was overwhelmingly rejected in a referendum in November 2002 . He remains one of the most unpopular politicians ever to visit Gibraltar . In October 2002 , he joined the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Wales , but continued to represent the UK at the Convention on the Future of Europe . In June 2003 he was made Leader of the House of Commons and Lord Privy Seal in a cabinet reshuffle , but retained the Wales portfolio . In November 2004 Hain caused controversy among his political rivals when he claimed that If we are tough on crime and on terrorism , as Labour is , then I think Britain will be safer under Labour . On 6 May 2005 , following the 2005 general election , Hain was appointed as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland by Prime Minister Tony Blair , retaining his Welsh position also . He was responsible for negotiating the settlement which brought former enemies Sinn Féin and the DUP into a power-sharing Northern Irish government from May 2007 . Although previously a supporter of Irish unity , he has since retreated from this position . On 28 June 2007 , he was appointed as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in addition to retaining responsibility for Wales . He was a proponent of the tough love measures designed to force claimants , including the sick and disabled , back to work . He saw it as an anti-poverty , full-employment agenda . He resigned from his post when the issue of donations made to his campaign funds were referred to the police . He set a level of compensation for the taxpayer funded Financial Assistance Scheme similar to that of the Industry funded Pension Protection Fund ( PPF ) for those whose schemes had collapses before the establishment of the PPF . Referring to the long running Pensions Action Group campaign and speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Moneybox program on the day compensation was announced , pensions expert Ros Altmann , credited Hain and Mike OBrien with having been very different to deal with than their predecessors and..willing and eager to engage and find a way to sort this out . Deputy leadership bid . On 12 September 2006 , he announced his candidacy for the position of Deputy Leader of the Labour Party . In January 2007 , Hain gave an interview to the New Statesman in which he made his pitch for the Deputy Leadership and referred to the Bush administration as the most right-wing American administration , if not ever , then in living memory and argued that the neo-con agenda for America has been rejected by the people and I hope that will be the case for the future . Hain was eliminated in the second round of the Deputy Leadership election , coming fifth out of the six candidates , with Harriet Harman being the successful candidate . Resignation following Labour party deputy leadership donations scandal . In January 2008 , The Guardian reported that Hain had failed to declare some 20 donations worth a total of over £100,000 during his deputy leadership campaign and would be investigated by the Electoral Commission . Hain admitted deeply regrettable administrative failings but faced questioning on whether the oversight was due to changes in campaign manager possibly causing chaos during the campaign or the desire of some donors to remain private . Phil Taylor , the first campaign manager , said that Hain insisted on knowing who had donated and that it was legal . His campaign only reported a separate £82,000 of donations and the Guardian believes he stopped taking a personal interest in funding once the campaign ended though there was no evidence that he deliberately broke the law . Taylors successor was Steve Morgan , and it later emerged that four donations were channelled through a non-operating think tank , the Progressive Policies Forum ( PPF ) which may be connected with Morgan , who was named as a donor . On 12 January , Peter Hain released a statement saying that he wanted to get on with his job and it was absurd to think he had deliberately hidden anything . John Underwood , a trustee of the PPF , said that the donations and loans were entirely permissible , though Hain said he would pay back a £25,000 interest-free loan . On 24 January 2008 , he resigned from several posts including his position as Work and Pensions secretary , after the Electoral Commission referred the failure to report donations to Metropolitan Police . He cited a desire to clear his name as the reason for his resignation . Peter Hain was the first person to resign from Gordon Browns cabinet . He was replaced as Secretary of State for Wales by Paul Murphy , and as Secretary for Work and Pensions by James Purnell in a forced cabinet reshuffle . Hains campaign had properly declared some £100,000 of donations but failed to declare £103,156 of donations , contrary to electoral law . On 3 July 2008 , the Metropolitan Police announced that they had referred Peter Hains case to the Crown Prosecution Service . On 5 December 2008 the CPS announced that Hain would not be charged because Hain was not responsible and did not control the members association Hain4Labour that funded his campaign . He returned to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Wales the following year . In opposition . Hain was re-appointed Shadow Welsh Secretary in Ed Milibands Shadow Cabinet after Milibands election as leader in 2010 . He was a supporter of the unsuccessful Alternative Vote system in the May 2011 referendum . In May 2012 , he announced his retirement from front-line politics . Attempted prosecution for contempt of court . On 27 March 2012 , the Attorney General for Northern Ireland , John Larkin QC obtained leave from Lord Justice Higgins to bring proceedings against Hain and Biteback Publishing for contempt of court . Although Hains book Outside In had already been passed by the Cabinet Office and the Northern Ireland Office prior to publication , the alleged contempt related to statements about Lord Justice Girvans disposal of an application for judicial review while Hain was Secretary of State . Hains remarks had previously been strongly criticised by the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland , Sir Declan Morgan though the decision to charge Hain with scandalising the court , using a law already obsolete in 1899 drew ridicule in Westminster and strong criticism from senior DUP ministers . According to the Attorney General , Hains statements prejudiced the administration of justice and amounted to an unjustifiable attack on the judiciary . At a preliminary hearing before a Divisional Court of the Queens Bench Division of the High Court of Justice on 24 April 2012 , Hains counsel suggested that the action had no basis in common law and was contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights . The trial was intended to take place on 19 June 2012 but the case was dropped on 17 May 2012 after Hain agreed to clarify comments to show he didnt question Girvans motives or his handling of the judicial review . House of Lords . In June 2014 , Hain announced he would stand down as the MP for Neath at the 2015 general election . He was nominated for a life peerage in the 2015 Dissolution Honours .

He remains a prominent supporter of Unite Against Fascism today and is Vice-President of Action for Southern Africa . On 25 October 2018 , he used parliamentary privilege in the House of Lords to name Sir Philip Green as the businessman accused of sexual and racial harassment by The Daily Telegraph . A legal injunction had prevented the newspaper from naming him . Following Hains statement , the accusations made against Green were widely published in the media . Hain is a remunerated adviser to the law firm acting for the alleged victims , and Green subsequently announced that , due to this conflict of interest , he would lodge a complaint with the House of Lords . Hain is a member of the Steering Committee of the Constitution Reform Group ( CRG ) , a cross-party organisation chaired by Robert Gascoyne-Cecil , 7th Marquess of Salisbury , which seeks a new constitutional settlement in the UK by way of a new Act of Union . The Constitution Reform Groups new Act of Union Bill was introduced as a Private Members Bill by Lord Lisvane in the House of Lords on 9 October 2018 , when it received a formal first reading . The Bill has been described by the BBC as one to watch in the current Parliament . Political thought . Hain has written in support of libertarian socialist arguments , identifying an axis involving a bottom-up vision of socialism , with anarchists at the revolutionary end and democratic socialists [ such as himself ] at its reformist end as opposed to the axis of state socialism with Marxist–Leninists at the revolutionary end and social democrats at the reformist end .

This is one of the keys to the high productivity , investment and wealth needed for economic success , by helping generate greater team working and commitment which is such an important requirement of complex modern production systems .

He moved to Serie A giants Juventus in 1989 , having scored 28 goals in 94 games for Monza .

Casiraghi joined English side Chelsea in May 1998 for £5.4 million . His time in west London proved luckless , and ultimately only scored one competitive goal for the club in ten appearances , which came against Liverpool in a 1–1 draw at Anfield . His Chelsea career was cut short by a cruciate ligament injury sustained during a collision with West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop in November 1998 . Despite going through ten operations , he was unable to make a comeback and his contract with the club was terminated in July 2000 , with Chelsea receiving an insurance payout .

Despite sealing Italys qualification for the 1998 World Cup with the only goal in the second leg play-off against Russia to advance 2–1 on aggregate on 15 November 1997 , he failed to make the squad for the final tournament under Cesare Maldini . Style of play . Although he was primarily deployed as a centre-forward , Casiraghi was an athletic player , who was also capable of playing anywhere along the front line , due to his versatility . Throughout his career , he became renowned for his ability in the air , and for having a penchant for scoring acrobatic goals as a striker . Although he was not particularly skilful from a technical standpoint , he was a strong , hardworking , and prolific forward , with good movement off the ball , who often utilised his physical strength to hold up the ball with his back to goal in order to open up defences , and was also capable of creating space for his teammates with his attacking runs , which in turn enabled him to provide them with assists . Managerial career . Casiraghi became manager of Italian Serie C2 side A.C . Legnano in May 2003 . On 24 July 2006 , he was appointed joint coach of the Italian Under-21 national team alongside former Chelsea teammate Gianfranco Zola , succeeding Claudio Gentile .

Despite sealing Italys qualification for the 1998 World Cup with the only goal in the second leg play-off against Russia to advance 2–1 on aggregate on 15 November 1997 , he failed to make the squad for the final tournament under Cesare Maldini . Style of play . Although he was primarily deployed as a centre-forward , Casiraghi was an athletic player , who was also capable of playing anywhere along the front line , due to his versatility . Throughout his career , he became renowned for his ability in the air , and for having a penchant for scoring acrobatic goals as a striker . Although he was not particularly skilful from a technical standpoint , he was a strong , hardworking , and prolific forward , with good movement off the ball , who often utilised his physical strength to hold up the ball with his back to goal in order to open up defences , and was also capable of creating space for his teammates with his attacking runs , which in turn enabled him to provide them with assists . Managerial career . Casiraghi became manager of Italian Serie C2 side A.C . Legnano in May 2003 . On 24 July 2006 , he was appointed joint coach of the Italian Under-21 national team alongside former Chelsea teammate Gianfranco Zola , succeeding Claudio Gentile .

What position did Cecil Parkinson take in Dec 1981?
|
Cecil Parkinson Cecil Edward Parkinson , Baron Parkinson , ( 1 September 1931 – 22 January 2016 ) was a British Conservative politician and cabinet minister . A chartered accountant by training , he entered Parliament in November 1970 , and was appointed a minister in Margaret Thatchers first government in May 1979 . He successfully managed the Conservative Partys 1983 election campaign , and was rewarded with an appointment as Secretary of State for Trade and Industry , but was forced to resign after revelations that his former secretary , Sara Keays , was pregnant with his child , whom she later bore and named Flora Keays . Parkinson subsequently served as Secretary of State for Energy , and later Secretary of State for Transport . He resigned that office in 1990 , on the same day that Thatcher resigned as Prime Minister . He was created Baron Parkinson in 1992 , and served in the House of Lords until his retirement in September 2015 . Early life . Cecil Parkinson was born at 4 Edward Street , Carnforth , Lancashire , the son of Sydney Parkinson ( 13 April 1906 – 15 July 1995 ) , a warehouseman for a corn dealer , later a railwayman , and his wife , Bridget , née Graham ( 29 January 1910 – 1991 ) , who was from a Northern Irish family from Tyrone and Fermanagh but their roots were in Scotland . He had a younger sister , Norma ( b . March 1933 ) . He was educated at Lancaster Royal Grammar School , a state-run day and boarding school for boys , from 1943 to 1950 after passing his eleven-plus from where he won a scholarship to Cambridge University , where he read English at Emmanuel College , later switching to read law . He won a Blue as an athlete , competing over 220 and 440 yards . While at university , Parkinson was a Labour supporter and for a time was a member of that party . He even canvassed for them at the 1950 and 1951 General Elections . He did National Service as an NCO in the Royal Air Force from 1950 to 1952 . After leaving university , Parkinson worked as a manager for the Metal Box Company , later becoming a consultant . He trained and qualified as a chartered accountant , and founded Parkinson-Hart Securities in 1961 . Member of Parliament . In the June 1970 general election Parkinson stood as Conservative candidate for Northampton , but was not elected . He was elected MP for Enfield West at a by-election in November 1970 , following the death of Iain Macleod . When that constituency was abolished for the February 1974 general election he was elected for the new South Hertfordshire constituency . After the 1979 general election he was made a junior trade minister . On 14 September 1981 , he was appointed Chairman of the Conservative Party as well as Paymaster-General with a seat in the cabinet ; he was given the added official title of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in 1982 . Despite his relatively junior status , he was a member of the small War Cabinet that Margaret Thatcher set up to run the Falklands War . In government . He worked on the Conservative Partys 1983 election campaign , standing in the new Hertsmere constituency after South Hertfordshires abolition . As a result of his success on the campaign , Thatcher had intended to promote him to Foreign Secretary ; however , before the election he warned her that this would be unwise , for his former secretary , Sara Keays , was pregnant with his child . Although Thatcher initially remonstrated with him that Anthony Edens womanising had been no bar on his being Foreign Secretary , she instead appointed him Secretary of State for Trade and Industry .

While he had assisted with Floras education and her financial upkeep , it was publicly pointed out that he had not even sent her a birthday card and that her mother assumed that Flora could not ever expect to receive one . At the time of the revelation of Parkinsons relationship with Sara Keays , he made much of what he described as the volume of letters in support that he received . Many in the Conservative Party attacked Keays . Edwina Currie said in October 1985 , whilst having an affair with John Major herself I feel very very sorry for Cecil and his family . Most of my thoughts on Sara Keays are unprintable . Perhaps the most polite thing to say is shes a right cow . After four years on the back benches , he was appointed Secretary of State for Energy in 1987 ( having been tipped as a potential Chancellor of the Exchequer ) , and for Transport in the July 1989 reshuffle . One of the highlights during his tenure of the latter job was announcing new main-line rail tunnels across London , called Crossrail . He resigned along with Margaret Thatcher when she was replaced by John Major , and stood down from the House of Commons at the 1992 general election . After the 1992 election , he was created Baron Parkinson , of Carnforth , in the County of Lancashire , on 29 June 1992 . That year , Parkinson also published his memoirs , in which he claimed that , with a determined campaign , Thatcher would have won the second ballot of the Conservative leadership election , when her Cabinet had warned her she would lose and thus persuaded her to stand down . Shadow Cabinet . Parkinson returned to front-line politics when he was made Conservative Party Chairman again , by William Hague , in June 1997 . He retired from this role in 1998 ; afterward he kept a low profile , although he was a vice-chairman of the Conservative Way Forward group . He was also the Honorary President of Conservative Friends of Poland . Personal life . Parkinson married Ann Mary Jarvis on 2 February 1957 . They had three daughters : Mary , Emma and Joanna . He was a supporter of Preston North End , and in November 1988 paid a tribute to Tom Finney on This Is Your Life . Parkinson was an active freemason . Death . Parkinson died from colorectal cancer at The London Clinic in Marylebone , London , on 22 January 2016 .

What organization or association or team did Senegalese Football Federation join in 1962?
|
Senegalese Football Federation The Senegalese Football Federation ( French : Fédération Sénégalaise de Football ; FSF ) is the governing body of football in Senegal . It is based in the capital of Senegal , Dakar and was founded in 1960 . The FSF aided in the development of football in Senegal , specifically for its professional and amateur leagues , youth and womens football and academies . Currently the FSF oversees the professional leagues , run by the Ligue Sénégalaise de Football Professionnel ( LSFP ) and fully organises the national teams , youth , womens and amateur football and all football administration . History . Pre-2000s . A former colony of France , football was introduced to Senegal by French soldiers who played to remain fit and healthy . Soon after , football spread and became an important aspect of Senegalese culture , and the FSF was established in 1960 . In 1964 the FSF was affiliated with FIFA ( French : Fédération internationale de Football Association ) and the Confederation of African Football ( French : Confédération Africaine de Football ) or CAF . Due to lacking such affiliations prior to this , the FSF was unable to send a team for the 1962 FIFA World Cup or 1957-1963 African Cup of Nations ( AFCON ) . In 1964 , although the FSF fielded a team for the 1966 World Cup Qualifiers , it later withdrew along with all the remaining CAF Associations in protest against FIFA providing 1 World Cup place for 3 confederations ( Africa , Asia and Oceania ) through an inter-continental playoff . The CAF associations felt the continent had improved to a level deserving of a guaranteed place and were concerned with high costs associated with organising an overseas playoff . The CAF nations also opposed the possibility of facing South Africa , who had qualified with Asia , after being expelled from CAF for the Apartheid policy . Post-2000s . In 2008 the Navétanes amateur neighbourhood football competition and its accompanying regulatory body , ONCAV ( French : Orginisme national de coordination des activités des vacances ) were affiliated with the FSF ( thus with FIFA ) for the first time since its inception in the 1950s . This follows a historical struggle for control between the independent teams and the FSF and Sports Ministry ( MoS ) . In 2008 following the Senegalese National Teams failure to qualify for the 2010 World Cup and AFCON , frustrated fans attacked the FSF headquarters in Dakar , destroying windows and torching a bus . Riots continued at the national stadium as fans erected burning barricades , damaging billboards and windows and engaged in violent clashes with Police . Following such disappointing performances and other off field issues , complying with FIFA regulations the FSF was dissolved and replaced by a caretaker Normalisation Committee ( French : Comité de normalisation ) . This body remained until the re-organisation of the FSF in 2009 . In July 2011 , player El Hadji Diouf was banned from all football related activities for 5 years , after alleging corruption across the African Footballing System . The FSF later rescinded the ban in 2012 . In December 2011 the national teams preparation for the 2012 AFCON was stalled , following a dispute between the FSF and MoS , over coach Amara Traores contract . Traores request for a salary increase was denied by the ministry , a decision which was subsequently challenged by the FSF . This led to a delay in the naming of the squad , the cancellation of two preparation matches and a complete breakdown in relations between the MoS and the FSF , as the two were also disputing funds associated with attending the competition . Eventually an agreement was struck and Traore led the team to the 2012 AFCON . However , Senegal who were seen as favourites , exited the competition with no wins . As a result , Traore was dismissed by the FSF executive committee , leading to a dispute with Traore , who sued for wrongful termination and outstanding salary , arguing no clause existed in his contract which allowed for the cancellation of the contract on the basis of performance . In April 2012 the FSF was ordered by the courts to pay Traore US$72,000 and when this was not paid the court ordered for the FSFs bank account to be frozen . Later the two parties came to an agreement to settle the matter privately . In 2012 during qualifications for the 2013 AFCON , Senegals second-leg match against Ivory Coast was terminated after 74 minutes , following a large group of Senegalese fans , unhappy with refereeing decisions , began to riot . They threw projectiles at the Ivorian players , lit fires and forced many Ivorian fans to flee the pitch . Consequently , Senegal was disqualified from AFCON 2013 and CAF banned matches at the Leopold Sedar Senghor Stadium for 1 year , also fining the FSF US$100,000 . In 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic , the FSF executive as advised by the federations Medical Committee voted to cancel the remainder of the 2019–20 season . As part of the move promotions and relegations were halted ; although Teungueth and Jaraaf FC were designated to represent Senegal continentally next season . The FSF also announced it would provide a financial stimulus for struggling teams . Structure . The General Assembly elect a 23-person executive committee which administer and govern football in Senegal . Under the executive , the FSF has an emergency committee and various independent commissions . Politician , Augustin Senghor is the president of the FSF and lies on the next level of the hierarchy . Ex professional player Victor Cisse is the current General Secretary of the FSF . From here the FSF splits into two distinct operational areas . The Federal Administration covers the administrative elements of the FSFs activities , including ; Arbitration , Marketing , Legal , Finance and Logistics departments . The National Technical Directory ( DTN ) focuses on the football side of the FSF , concerning ; Management , training , youth , elite , national and womens football departments . Election Process . The executive includes the President , elected by the General Assembly and 6 Vice-presidents who are selected as ex-officio members , a member since they hold a particular position ( i.e . the president of the LSFP or the LFA amateur league ) . The remaining 16 members are also elected by the General Assembly but must belong to a specific FSF interest organisations . For example , three members represent the first division clubs , four represent regional leagues , five represent the LSFP and one represents womens football . Activities . Following Senegalese Independence , the Senegalese Government employed a public and private system of sports . The FSF relies on subsidies from the Ministry of Sports ( MoS ) for many of its activities , including ; competitions , training and national teams . The FSF oversees the majority of association-football activities through the DTN which is responsible for the technical development and promotion of Senegalese football through its various departments . Navetanes . The FSF has extremely limited authority over the Navetanes neighbourhood amateur competition . Each team or ‘Sports/Cultural Association’ ( ASC ) are controlled by neighbourhood administrators , competing in local territorial tournaments . In 1970 the MoS organised ONCAV to oversee the competition and register each team as an ASC to instil some control and authority . In 1977 the ASCs gained control of ONCAV and became once again independent of the FSF and MoS . Eventually , in 2008 , ONCAV and the Navetanes competition became affiliated with the FSF and therefore FIFA and the power struggle ceased , with the Navetanes remaining entirely independent from the control and reliance of the FSF . The FSF only regulates the ASCs if they choose to enter professional competitions or through its strong controls governing the ability for players to transition between FSF competitions and the Navetanes . i.e . players become ineligible for Navetanes after playing five professional matches . Competitions . All competitive and amateur football is sanctioned by the FSF . First directly through its organisation of the Amateur Football League or LFA ( French : Ligue du Football Am. ) which consists of two leagues , Nationale 1 and Nationale 2 . The leagues act as feeder competitions of the professional leagues , whereby the top 6 Nationale 1 teams enter a play-off replacing the bottom two Ligue 2 teams . The FSF also indirectly controls professional football through the LSFP , who operate the top 2 divisions , Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 , as well as the League Cup . These leagues were developed by the interim Normalisation Committee in 2009 , following advice from FIFA to professionalise Senegalese football . The LSFP although managing the leagues still operates under the authority of the FSF , as in 2020 when the FSF abandoned all leagues due to COVID-19 . The FSF organises the Senegal FA Cup , established in 1961 and the Senegal Super Cup . The FSF also governs youth football and its associated leagues , including the youth national teams . In 2011 the FSF created a parallel youth league to the professional league for junior clubs , aiming to restructure grassroots football in Senegal . The FSF is responsible for the transportation , funding , equipment organisation and operation of the competition . Women’s Football . The FSF solely manages female football in Senegal . The womens game in Senegal began with Elior Khouma who began to informally coach girls at his footballing school in Sicap-Liberté , Dakar . An Italian friend brought a team from Milan to play Khoumas womens team in a match that was supported by the FSF and the Municipal Government of Dakar , although they lost 5–2 . In 1991 the team , The Gazelles’ were invited to take part in the first African Championship for Women , but withdrew as the FSF refused to send a team . Prior to the 1990s the FSF played only a small role in womens football , although through the advocacy of Fancoise Seck and the development of a national team , the FSF began to sanction league play , championships and international friendlies . In 2000 following Secks appointment to the head of womens football in 2000 , the FSF further committed to womens football , establishing a national league with 12 teams , providing uniforms , paying coaches and transporting teams . Academies . Most of Senegals youth academies are privately owned and operated , falling outside of the governance of the FSF . Most academies are either controlled by local or foreign teams ( or both ) , as well as unregistered academies . The MoS and FSF only regulate these academies by implementing a mandate , ensuring that the youth in academies are properly educated , with no other obligations to the FSF unless an academy team registers to play in FSF sanctioned competitions . Although the Aldo Gentina Academy was founded by then president of the FSF , El Hadj Malick Sy as a collaboration between Senegalese Ligue 1 club ASC Jeanne d’Arc and AS Monaco of France . The Diambars institute academy was developed by the vice-president of the FSF , Saer Seck , ex French professional player Patrick Vieira and Bernard Lerma in 2003 . The institute provides both football and education development and was initially supported by the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region in France and the Senegalese Government . Regulation & Administration . The status of players including ; registration , contract stability , protection of minors , training , compensation , solidarity mechanisms , wages , quotas and limitations are all organised and managed by the FSF . The FSF has established various regulations and codes , implementing the Statutes De La FSF , Codes de La FSF , Reglement Generaux de la FSF and Reglement de la CNRE . The FSF and LSFP together oversee disciplinary proceedings , with the league operating its own disciplinary model and the association providing a means for appeals . The FSF also operates its own arbitration court . National Teams . The Federation is responsible for organising the mens , womens and youth national football teams ; appointing the management staff , funding , organising matches , sponsorships and other organisational matters . Men’s National Football Team . The team , nicknamed The Lions of Teranga ( French : Les Lions de la Teranga ) are the highest ranked African national team . Established in the 1960s the team has seen success in West African competitions , have reached 2 AFCON finals , as well as the 2002 FIFA World Cup quarter final . Local Selection A . The U23 national mens football team or ‘Senegal Olympic’ represents Senegal at the U23 level and at the Olympics . Most notably , the Cubs of Teranga ( French : Lionceaux de la Teranga ) reached the quarter finals in the 2012 Olympics and 4th place at the CAF U23 Championship in 2011 . Women’s National Football Team . Established in the late 1990s , the womens team only reached its first AFCON in 2012 where it exited in the group stages . The team has found some success in its West African Competitions . Men’s U20 Youth Team . The U20 Mens Youth Team is the feeder club for the senior team and represents Senegal at the U20 youth level . The team has qualified for 3 U20 World Cup Finals , reaching the semi-finals in 2015 . Men’s U17 Youth Team . The team represents Senegal at U17 youth competitions , which made its first continental appearance at the 2011 U17 AFCON , and their first appearance at the U17 World Cup in 2019 . Men’s National Beach Soccer Team . The Senegalese beach soccer team represents Senegal internationally in beach soccer , winning the Beach Soccer AFCON 5 times and is the highest ranked CAF team . The team has also become a consistent competitor in the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup . Honours . National Football Teams . - African Cup of Nations ( AFCON ) - Runner-up ( 2 ) : 2002 , 2012 - Amilcar Cabral Cup - Winner ( 8 ) : 1979 , 1980 , 1983 , 1984 , 1985 , 1986 , 1991 , 2001 - Runner-up ( 5 ) : 1982 , 1993 , 1997 , 2000 , 2005 - West African Cup of Nations - Winner ( 1 ) : 2019 - Runner-up ( 2 ) : 2010 , 2013 - All African Games - Winner ( 1 ) : 2015 - Third place ( 1 ) : 2019 - CEDEAO Cup - Winner ( 1 ) : 1985 - Runner-up ( 2 ) : 1990 , 1991 - UEMOA Tournament - Winner ( 3 ) : 2009 , 2011 , 2016 Women - WAFU Zone A Womens Cup - Winner ( 1 ) : 2020 National Youth Teams . - FIFA U20 World Cup - Fourth place ( 1 ) : 2015 - CAF U23 African Cup of Nations - Fourth place ( 1 ) : 2011 - U20 African Cup of Nations ( African Youth Championships ) - Runner-up ( 3 ) : 2015 , 2017 , 2019 - West African Cup of Nations - Winner ( 1 ) : 2015 - WAFU U20 Championship - Winner ( 1 ) : 2019 - Runner-up ( 1 ) : 2008 - WAFU Zone B U20 Tournament - Winner ( 1 ) : 2018 National Beach Soccer Teams . - CAF Beach Soccer African Cup of Nations - Winner ( 5 ) : 2008 , 2011 , 2013 , 2016 , 2018 - Runner-up ( 2 ) : 2007 , 2015 - Third place ( 1 ) : 2009 Association Awards . 2002 Most Improved Squad award .

The FSF is the only body in Senegal which can issue a club licence , allowing teams to compete professionally .

What organization or association or team did Senegalese Football Federation join in 1963?
|
Senegalese Football Federation The Senegalese Football Federation ( French : Fédération Sénégalaise de Football ; FSF ) is the governing body of football in Senegal . It is based in the capital of Senegal , Dakar and was founded in 1960 . The FSF aided in the development of football in Senegal , specifically for its professional and amateur leagues , youth and womens football and academies . Currently the FSF oversees the professional leagues , run by the Ligue Sénégalaise de Football Professionnel ( LSFP ) and fully organises the national teams , youth , womens and amateur football and all football administration . History . Pre-2000s . A former colony of France , football was introduced to Senegal by French soldiers who played to remain fit and healthy . Soon after , football spread and became an important aspect of Senegalese culture , and the FSF was established in 1960 . In 1964 the FSF was affiliated with FIFA ( French : Fédération internationale de Football Association ) and the Confederation of African Football ( French : Confédération Africaine de Football ) or CAF . Due to lacking such affiliations prior to this , the FSF was unable to send a team for the 1962 FIFA World Cup or 1957-1963 African Cup of Nations ( AFCON ) . In 1964 , although the FSF fielded a team for the 1966 World Cup Qualifiers , it later withdrew along with all the remaining CAF Associations in protest against FIFA providing 1 World Cup place for 3 confederations ( Africa , Asia and Oceania ) through an inter-continental playoff . The CAF associations felt the continent had improved to a level deserving of a guaranteed place and were concerned with high costs associated with organising an overseas playoff . The CAF nations also opposed the possibility of facing South Africa , who had qualified with Asia , after being expelled from CAF for the Apartheid policy . Post-2000s . In 2008 the Navétanes amateur neighbourhood football competition and its accompanying regulatory body , ONCAV ( French : Orginisme national de coordination des activités des vacances ) were affiliated with the FSF ( thus with FIFA ) for the first time since its inception in the 1950s . This follows a historical struggle for control between the independent teams and the FSF and Sports Ministry ( MoS ) . In 2008 following the Senegalese National Teams failure to qualify for the 2010 World Cup and AFCON , frustrated fans attacked the FSF headquarters in Dakar , destroying windows and torching a bus . Riots continued at the national stadium as fans erected burning barricades , damaging billboards and windows and engaged in violent clashes with Police . Following such disappointing performances and other off field issues , complying with FIFA regulations the FSF was dissolved and replaced by a caretaker Normalisation Committee ( French : Comité de normalisation ) . This body remained until the re-organisation of the FSF in 2009 . In July 2011 , player El Hadji Diouf was banned from all football related activities for 5 years , after alleging corruption across the African Footballing System . The FSF later rescinded the ban in 2012 . In December 2011 the national teams preparation for the 2012 AFCON was stalled , following a dispute between the FSF and MoS , over coach Amara Traores contract . Traores request for a salary increase was denied by the ministry , a decision which was subsequently challenged by the FSF . This led to a delay in the naming of the squad , the cancellation of two preparation matches and a complete breakdown in relations between the MoS and the FSF , as the two were also disputing funds associated with attending the competition . Eventually an agreement was struck and Traore led the team to the 2012 AFCON . However , Senegal who were seen as favourites , exited the competition with no wins . As a result , Traore was dismissed by the FSF executive committee , leading to a dispute with Traore , who sued for wrongful termination and outstanding salary , arguing no clause existed in his contract which allowed for the cancellation of the contract on the basis of performance . In April 2012 the FSF was ordered by the courts to pay Traore US$72,000 and when this was not paid the court ordered for the FSFs bank account to be frozen . Later the two parties came to an agreement to settle the matter privately . In 2012 during qualifications for the 2013 AFCON , Senegals second-leg match against Ivory Coast was terminated after 74 minutes , following a large group of Senegalese fans , unhappy with refereeing decisions , began to riot . They threw projectiles at the Ivorian players , lit fires and forced many Ivorian fans to flee the pitch . Consequently , Senegal was disqualified from AFCON 2013 and CAF banned matches at the Leopold Sedar Senghor Stadium for 1 year , also fining the FSF US$100,000 . In 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic , the FSF executive as advised by the federations Medical Committee voted to cancel the remainder of the 2019–20 season . As part of the move promotions and relegations were halted ; although Teungueth and Jaraaf FC were designated to represent Senegal continentally next season . The FSF also announced it would provide a financial stimulus for struggling teams . Structure . The General Assembly elect a 23-person executive committee which administer and govern football in Senegal . Under the executive , the FSF has an emergency committee and various independent commissions . Politician , Augustin Senghor is the president of the FSF and lies on the next level of the hierarchy . Ex professional player Victor Cisse is the current General Secretary of the FSF . From here the FSF splits into two distinct operational areas . The Federal Administration covers the administrative elements of the FSFs activities , including ; Arbitration , Marketing , Legal , Finance and Logistics departments . The National Technical Directory ( DTN ) focuses on the football side of the FSF , concerning ; Management , training , youth , elite , national and womens football departments . Election Process . The executive includes the President , elected by the General Assembly and 6 Vice-presidents who are selected as ex-officio members , a member since they hold a particular position ( i.e . the president of the LSFP or the LFA amateur league ) . The remaining 16 members are also elected by the General Assembly but must belong to a specific FSF interest organisations . For example , three members represent the first division clubs , four represent regional leagues , five represent the LSFP and one represents womens football . Activities . Following Senegalese Independence , the Senegalese Government employed a public and private system of sports . The FSF relies on subsidies from the Ministry of Sports ( MoS ) for many of its activities , including ; competitions , training and national teams . The FSF oversees the majority of association-football activities through the DTN which is responsible for the technical development and promotion of Senegalese football through its various departments . Navetanes . The FSF has extremely limited authority over the Navetanes neighbourhood amateur competition . Each team or ‘Sports/Cultural Association’ ( ASC ) are controlled by neighbourhood administrators , competing in local territorial tournaments . In 1970 the MoS organised ONCAV to oversee the competition and register each team as an ASC to instil some control and authority .

Eventually , in 2008 , ONCAV and the Navetanes competition became affiliated with the FSF and therefore FIFA and the power struggle ceased , with the Navetanes remaining entirely independent from the control and reliance of the FSF . The FSF only regulates the ASCs if they choose to enter professional competitions or through its strong controls governing the ability for players to transition between FSF competitions and the Navetanes . i.e . players become ineligible for Navetanes after playing five professional matches .

What organization or association or team did Senegalese Football Federation join in 1975?
|
Senegalese Football Federation The Senegalese Football Federation ( French : Fédération Sénégalaise de Football ; FSF ) is the governing body of football in Senegal . It is based in the capital of Senegal , Dakar and was founded in 1960 . The FSF aided in the development of football in Senegal , specifically for its professional and amateur leagues , youth and womens football and academies . Currently the FSF oversees the professional leagues , run by the Ligue Sénégalaise de Football Professionnel ( LSFP ) and fully organises the national teams , youth , womens and amateur football and all football administration . History . Pre-2000s . A former colony of France , football was introduced to Senegal by French soldiers who played to remain fit and healthy . Soon after , football spread and became an important aspect of Senegalese culture , and the FSF was established in 1960 . In 1964 the FSF was affiliated with FIFA ( French : Fédération internationale de Football Association ) and the Confederation of African Football ( French : Confédération Africaine de Football ) or CAF . Due to lacking such affiliations prior to this , the FSF was unable to send a team for the 1962 FIFA World Cup or 1957-1963 African Cup of Nations ( AFCON ) . In 1964 , although the FSF fielded a team for the 1966 World Cup Qualifiers , it later withdrew along with all the remaining CAF Associations in protest against FIFA providing 1 World Cup place for 3 confederations ( Africa , Asia and Oceania ) through an inter-continental playoff . The CAF associations felt the continent had improved to a level deserving of a guaranteed place and were concerned with high costs associated with organising an overseas playoff . The CAF nations also opposed the possibility of facing South Africa , who had qualified with Asia , after being expelled from CAF for the Apartheid policy . Post-2000s . In 2008 the Navétanes amateur neighbourhood football competition and its accompanying regulatory body , ONCAV ( French : Orginisme national de coordination des activités des vacances ) were affiliated with the FSF ( thus with FIFA ) for the first time since its inception in the 1950s . This follows a historical struggle for control between the independent teams and the FSF and Sports Ministry ( MoS ) . In 2008 following the Senegalese National Teams failure to qualify for the 2010 World Cup and AFCON , frustrated fans attacked the FSF headquarters in Dakar , destroying windows and torching a bus . Riots continued at the national stadium as fans erected burning barricades , damaging billboards and windows and engaged in violent clashes with Police . Following such disappointing performances and other off field issues , complying with FIFA regulations the FSF was dissolved and replaced by a caretaker Normalisation Committee ( French : Comité de normalisation ) . This body remained until the re-organisation of the FSF in 2009 . In July 2011 , player El Hadji Diouf was banned from all football related activities for 5 years , after alleging corruption across the African Footballing System . The FSF later rescinded the ban in 2012 . In December 2011 the national teams preparation for the 2012 AFCON was stalled , following a dispute between the FSF and MoS , over coach Amara Traores contract . Traores request for a salary increase was denied by the ministry , a decision which was subsequently challenged by the FSF . This led to a delay in the naming of the squad , the cancellation of two preparation matches and a complete breakdown in relations between the MoS and the FSF , as the two were also disputing funds associated with attending the competition . Eventually an agreement was struck and Traore led the team to the 2012 AFCON . However , Senegal who were seen as favourites , exited the competition with no wins . As a result , Traore was dismissed by the FSF executive committee , leading to a dispute with Traore , who sued for wrongful termination and outstanding salary , arguing no clause existed in his contract which allowed for the cancellation of the contract on the basis of performance . In April 2012 the FSF was ordered by the courts to pay Traore US$72,000 and when this was not paid the court ordered for the FSFs bank account to be frozen . Later the two parties came to an agreement to settle the matter privately . In 2012 during qualifications for the 2013 AFCON , Senegals second-leg match against Ivory Coast was terminated after 74 minutes , following a large group of Senegalese fans , unhappy with refereeing decisions , began to riot . They threw projectiles at the Ivorian players , lit fires and forced many Ivorian fans to flee the pitch . Consequently , Senegal was disqualified from AFCON 2013 and CAF banned matches at the Leopold Sedar Senghor Stadium for 1 year , also fining the FSF US$100,000 . In 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic , the FSF executive as advised by the federations Medical Committee voted to cancel the remainder of the 2019–20 season . As part of the move promotions and relegations were halted ; although Teungueth and Jaraaf FC were designated to represent Senegal continentally next season . The FSF also announced it would provide a financial stimulus for struggling teams . Structure . The General Assembly elect a 23-person executive committee which administer and govern football in Senegal . Under the executive , the FSF has an emergency committee and various independent commissions . Politician , Augustin Senghor is the president of the FSF and lies on the next level of the hierarchy . Ex professional player Victor Cisse is the current General Secretary of the FSF . From here the FSF splits into two distinct operational areas .

According to Šuplinska , roughly half of Latvias schools would not meet the minimum requirements under the plan . On 23 April 2019 , the Constitutional Court of Latvia ruled that the planned transition to Latvian as the sole language of instruction in public schools did not violate the constitution . Health care reform . In February 2019 , the Kariņš government announced that it would abandon the two basket system of health care funding that the Kučinskis government had begun to implement , a reform which would have made full access to state-provided health care only available to people paying social contribution taxes .

Administrative territory reform . On 9 April 2019 , Minister of Environmental Protection and Regional Development Juris Pūce announced a controversial plan for the Kariņš government to reduce the number of municipalities in Latvia from 119 to 35 , eliminating the republican city status for all cities aside from the capital of Rīga . The government attempted to block the town of Iksķile from holding a survey regarding citizens opinions about the reform , claiming that municipalities only have the legal right to hold public debates on municipal issues , but the survey continued as planned and found that 98.45% of respondents were opposed to the reforms .

In a 9 May meeting with other EU leaders in Sibiu , Romania , he expressed support for the Spitzenkandidat process of electing a new European Commissioner used in 2014 that had come under fire by other leaders such as President Emmanuel Macron of France and President Dalia Grybauskaitė of Lithuania . Along with Prime Minister Andrej Plenković of Croatia , Kariņš represented the governments ruled by the center-right European Peoples Party ( EPP ) in the negotiations on new appointments to top posts in the European Union following the 2019 European elections , including the European Council , the European Commission and the European Central Bank .

In March 2019 , Saeima Deputy Aldis Gobzems asked law enforcement officials to investigate a property transaction between Kariņš and Kariņa from one side and Russian citizens , who are associated with Gazprom and Government of Moscow from another , that he alleged could be related to money laundering and tax avoidance . On 18 May 2019 , state police announced that they would not be initiating criminal proceedings after finding no signs of illegal wrongdoing . Aside from Latvian and English , he speaks fluent German , French , and some Russian . During a visit to Minsk in January 2020 , Karins stated in a meeting with President Alexander Lukashenko that it is easier for him to comprehend Russian than speak , which forces him to speak to Russian speakers through a translator so as not to say anything wrong .

Commission chairman Peters Putniņš protested that the measures would allow politicians to have greater control of what should be a non-political regulatory body . Education . Upon his confirmation , Kariņš announced that his government would continue implementing reforms that had been planned by the previous government led by Māris Kučinskis . These included the reorganization and liquidation of schools that had low numbers of students , the gradual transition to Latvian-only education in public high schools , and new competence-based curriculum standards . On 7 February 2019 , Kariņš announced that there would be no increase in 2019 to teachers salaries as promised according to a timetable agreed upon by the Latvian teachers union and the Kučinskis cabinet . This led to a picket protest on 20 March , as well as the threat of an indefinite strike later that year . In an interview on 28 February , Kariņš expressed a wish to raise teachers salaries without having to raise taxes , finding savings by liquidating and consolidating schools with low numbers of students . On 30 March , Minister for Education Inga Šuplinska claimed that money to finance the planned wage increases could be found by mid-May . In April 2019 , the Kariņš government announced a proposal for four tiers of minimum student numbers for schools based on the municipalitys size and location . According to Šuplinska , roughly half of Latvias schools would not meet the minimum requirements under the plan . On 23 April 2019 , the Constitutional Court of Latvia ruled that the planned transition to Latvian as the sole language of instruction in public schools did not violate the constitution . Health care reform . In February 2019 , the Kariņš government announced that it would abandon the two basket system of health care funding that the Kučinskis government had begun to implement , a reform which would have made full access to state-provided health care only available to people paying social contribution taxes . The government announced in April 2019 that the health care system and tax code would both be reformed in 2021 . Green energy subsidy . On 11 April 2019 , he survived a 58-33 vote of no confidence spearheaded by Saeima Deputy Aldis Gobzems for not adhering to the Saeimas demand that his government cancel the green energy subsidy by the end of March . On that day , in a phone interview with Latvian Public Radio , he committed to canceling the subsidy within a reasonable timeframe and argued that the Minister of Economics , Ralfs Nemiro , Gobzemss former party member , had already published a report proving that doing so by the end of March was a legal impossibility . Administrative territory reform . On 9 April 2019 , Minister of Environmental Protection and Regional Development Juris Pūce announced a controversial plan for the Kariņš government to reduce the number of municipalities in Latvia from 119 to 35 , eliminating the republican city status for all cities aside from the capital of Rīga . The government attempted to block the town of Iksķile from holding a survey regarding citizens opinions about the reform , claiming that municipalities only have the legal right to hold public debates on municipal issues , but the survey continued as planned and found that 98.45% of respondents were opposed to the reforms . Foreign policy . Like his predecessors , Kariņš has stressed a commitment to a western-oriented foreign policy and has expressed caution regarding Russias foreign policy intentions . On 7 January 2019 , he announced that fellow party member Edgars Rinkēvičs , who had already at the time been Latvias longest-serving foreign minister and had worked under prime ministers Valdis Dombrovskis , Laimdota Straujuma , and Māris Kučinskis , would continue in his current role . On 8 February , he made his first foreign visit to the neighboring country of Estonia , stressing the importance of relations between the two nations . On his first official visit to Brussels on 22 February 2019 , Kariņš assured that Latvia would maintain a Euro-Atlantic course , and that Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier had his full support . He addressed European Parliament on 17 April , arguing that it was useless to fight against the rise of populism and that it was necessary to understand why people listened to the promises of populists . In a 9 May meeting with other EU leaders in Sibiu , Romania , he expressed support for the Spitzenkandidat process of electing a new European Commissioner used in 2014 that had come under fire by other leaders such as President Emmanuel Macron of France and President Dalia Grybauskaitė of Lithuania . Along with Prime Minister Andrej Plenković of Croatia , Kariņš represented the governments ruled by the center-right European Peoples Party ( EPP ) in the negotiations on new appointments to top posts in the European Union following the 2019 European elections , including the European Council , the European Commission and the European Central Bank . In January 2021 , Kariņš declared that he would not see it possible for Minsk to host the 2021 IIHF World Championship because of violent suppression of peaceful protests in Belarus . Personal life . Kariņš is married to family doctor Anda Kariņa , and has four children : Otomārs Krišjānis , Kārlis Vilhelms , Māra Aleksandra , and Anna . In March 2019 , Saeima Deputy Aldis Gobzems asked law enforcement officials to investigate a property transaction between Kariņš and Kariņa from one side and Russian citizens , who are associated with Gazprom and Government of Moscow from another , that he alleged could be related to money laundering and tax avoidance . On 18 May 2019 , state police announced that they would not be initiating criminal proceedings after finding no signs of illegal wrongdoing . Aside from Latvian and English , he speaks fluent German , French , and some Russian . During a visit to Minsk in January 2020 , Karins stated in a meeting with President Alexander Lukashenko that it is easier for him to comprehend Russian than speak , which forces him to speak to Russian speakers through a translator so as not to say anything wrong .

Gauke served in the Cameron Government as Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury from 2010 to 2014 and Financial Secretary to the Treasury from 2014 to 2016 . During the formation of the May Government in July 2016 , he was appointed to the Cabinet as Chief Secretary to the Treasury , where he remained until being appointed Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in 2017 . Gauke was appointed Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor in January 2018 . He resigned on 24 July 2019 following the Conservative Party leadership election . Early life and career . Gauke was educated at Northgate High School in Ipswich , Suffolk . He read Law at St Edmund Hall , Oxford and the College of Law in Chester , where he graduated in legal practice in 1995 . In 1993 , he was a researcher for Barry Legg , the Conservative MP for Milton Keynes South West . He worked as a trainee solicitor with Richards Butler from 1995 , being admitted as a solicitor in 1997 . From 1999 to 2005 , he was a solicitor in the financial services group at Macfarlanes , a corporate law firm . Gauke was elected as the vice-chairman of the Brent East Conservative Association for two years from 1998 , and contested the seat at the 2001 general election finishing in second place 13,047 votes behind the Labour MP Paul Daisley . Parliamentary career . Gauke was elected to the House of Commons at the 2005 general election for Hertfordshire South West following the retirement of Richard Page . Gauke won the seat with a majority of 8,473 , making his maiden speech on 9 June 2005 . Between 2005 and 2008 , he served as a member of the Procedure Select committee . He was a member of the Treasury Select Committee between 2006 and 2007 , before joining the Opposition front bench as Shadow Treasury Minister . Following his re-election at the 2010 general election , he was appointed Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury . In December 2013 , Gauke was reported to HM Revenue and Customs after advertising an unpaid six-month training post at his constituency office in Rickmansworth , Hertfordshire . After four years in the post of Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury , Gauke moved to become the Financial Secretary to the Treasury . On 13 July 2016 , Gauke was made a member of the Privy Council , giving him the style The Right Honourable . The following day , he was appointed Chief Secretary to the Treasury following the appointment of Theresa May to Prime Minister of the United Kingdom . On 11 June 2017 , Gauke was appointed Secretary of State for Work and Pensions , leaving the Treasury after seven years . On 8 January 2018 , Gauke succeeded David Lidington as Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor . He is the first solicitor to have held the post . On 8 June 2019 , following Gaukes refusal to enact the commitments made in the Conservative manifesto and his supporting the leadership candidacy of Rory Stewart in favour of persisting with Mays withdrawal agreement , his constituency association wrote to all members calling a special meeting for a vote of no-confidence . On 20 July 2019 , Gauke confirmed to The Sunday Times that he would resign as Secretary of State after Prime Ministers Questions on 24 July 2019 , citing that he could not serve Boris Johnson as Prime Minister and run the risk of pursuing a no-deal exit from the European Union . Gauke and other similarly minded MPs became known in the media as the Gaukeward Squad . Expenses . Gauke claimed £10,248.32 in stamp duty and fees involved in the purchase of his second home in London , a flat . A Channel 4 Dispatches programme revealed that he was claiming expenses on the flat in central London despite having a property located only one hour away on public transport . Gauke sold the flat in August 2012 , keeping £27,000 , the property price having increased by £67,000 since purchase . He paid nearly £40,000 of this to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority ( IPSA ) as MPs only have to pay back any profit made in the previous two years . He told the British public that negotiating a price discount with tradesmen for paying in cash for the purposes of evading tax is morally wrong . Sitting as an independent . On 3 September 2019 , Gauke joined 20 other rebel Conservative MPs to vote against the Conservative government of Boris Johnson . The rebel MPs voted with the Opposition to seize control of parliamentary business from the government , allowing the subsequent passage of the Benn act . The government had declared that voting against the original motion would be viewed as a matter of confidence in the government , as voting in favour of the motion would effectively be destroying the governments negotiating position and handing control of parliament to Jeremy Corbyn . After voting against the government on a confidence-issue , all 21 were advised that they had lost the Conservative whip , expelling them as Conservative MPs and requiring them to sit as independents . If they decided to run for re-election in a future election , the party would block their selection as Conservative candidates . Gauke stood in his constituency as an independent candidate , but came second with 26% of the vote . The seat was retained by the Conservatives with a majority of 14,408 . Post-Parliament . In May 2020 , six months after leaving Parliament , it was announced that Gauke was re-joining Macfarlanes as their head of policy . Personal life .

Heiner Schuhmann played for which team between Nov 1967 and Nov 1968?
|
Heiner Schuhmann Heiner Schuhmann ( ; born 4 November 1948 ) is a retired German footballer and coach best known for his time at FC Augsburg . He served the club as a player and coach in the first team on five occasions but had his greatest success as a youth coordinator with the club . In the later position he also worked at FC Bayern Munich . Biography . Schuhmann , a product of the youth program of TSV Schwaben Augsburg started his senior career with te later club in 1967 in the tier two Regionalliga Süd , where he played for two seasons . Relegated after the 1968–69 season the football department of Schwaben merged with local rival BC Augsburg to form FC Augsburg . Schuhmann continued his career with FCA , now in the tier three Bayernliga . In 1971 , he left Augsburg to join TSV 1860 München which had just been relegated from the Bundesliga to the Regionalliga . After two seasons at this club he returned to FC Augsburg , now freshly promoted to the Regionalliga . He played in the Regionalliga-championship winning side of 1973–74 alongside German international Helmut Haller . From 1974 Augsburg played in the new 2 . Bundesliga South and Schuhmann made 86 appearances for FCA in this league . He ended his playing career in 1978 and took briefly over as FC Augsburg caretaker manager at the end of the 1977–78 season . FC Augsburg was relegated from the 2 . Bundesliga in 1979 and Schuhmann became the coach of the club for the 1979–80 season . He led the side to a championship in the Bayernliga and promotion to the 2 . Bundesliga but did not stay on as coach for the following year . He briefly returned to his coaching role in April 1981 when FCA sacked coach Heinz Elzner but was unable to save the club from relegation . He returned however for a fourth spell in charge of FCA in October 1986 , now with the club firmly established in third division football , and left again in March 1988 , achieving two sixth-place finishes . Schuhmann was the long term coach of the under 19 side of FC Augsburg , which is where he had his greatest success . He coached the youth side of third division FCA to four German under 19 Cup wins in 1991 , 1992 , 1994 and 1995 . The highlight in this era was however FCAs German under 19 championship win in 1993 against 1 . FC Kaiserslautern . In this time he discovered players like Bernd Schuster , Karl-Heinz Riedle , Christian Hochstätter , Armin Veh , Raimond Aumann , Roland Grahammer , Thomas Meggle and Dieter Frey . He left FC Augsburg in 1995 to take over the youth department of FC Bayern Munich , which he led for three years , is greatest success there being a German under 17 title in 1997 . Schuhmann left Bayern in 1998 , by his own admission because his position turned out to be a desk top job while he preferred to be directly involved with young players , like he was with FCA and in his profession as a high school teacher . He coached FC Augsburg as caretaker manager one more time in late 1999 , his fifth stint in this position . Since 2003 he works as a scout for Borussia Dortmund . Since 2009 his son Christoph also works as a scout for Borussia Dortmund . Honours .

Which employer did Carol L. Boggs work for before Jan 1978?
|
Carol L . Boggs Carol Linda Boggs ( born April 11 , 1952 ) is an American biologist specializing in the reproductive biology , population biology , ecology , and evolution of butterflies . Boggs completed her BA in 1973 and her PhD in 1979 in zoology at the University of Texas at Austin . Since 2013 , she has been a professor in the School of the Earth , Ocean and Environment and the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of South Carolina . Boggs is the author of more than 120 peer-reviewed articles and has served on editorial boards for several journals . She has been a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science since 2001 . Career . Boggs was a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University from 1980 to 1985 . Shortly after , Stanford hired her as a lecturer and consulting assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences ( 1986-1997 ) . She was promoted to associate professor ( teaching ) ( 1997–2002 ) , consulting professor ( 2002–2006 ) , and finally , professor ( teaching ) ( 2006–2012 ) . In parallel with these appointments , she was also a senior research scientist with Stanford University ( 1994–2006 ) . Boggs also held administrative appointments at Stanford University such as the associate director ( 1994–1995 ) and director ( 1995–2006 ) of the Center for Conservation Biology , and the Bing Director for the Program in Human Biology ( 2006–2012 ) . In 2013 , Boggs moved to the University of South Carolina where she was hired as the director of the School of the Earth , Ocean and Environment ( 2013–2018 ) and as a professor in the School of the Earth , Ocean and Environment and the Department of Biological Sciences ( 2013–present ) . Boggs has served on several editorial boards , either as a founding member or as an associate editor , for journals including Functional Ecology , Ecological Applications , Evolution , and the Journal of Insect Conservation . She has also worked with the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory ( RMBL ) , serving on the board of trustees as a member for more than 13 years and as the president for 6 years . She has been a senior researcher with the RMBL since 1978 . Research and contributions . Boggs early research as a PhD student was influenced by her supervisor who studied neotropical butterflies in Costa Rica and Trinidad . Gilbert was trained by another butterfly biologist , Paul R . Ehrlich , who specializes in population ecology and whom Boggs would eventually collaborate with at Stanford University in later years . Boggs early work focused mainly on the reproductive biology , sexual selection , and resource allocation of butterflies . For instance , she was the first to show that male butterflies can donate nutrients to future offspring . Her articles on the subject of male nuptial gifts opened up a new research arena and remains some of her most highly cited work to date . Later , Boggs research continued with her work on both lab-reared colonies ( e.g. , Colias eurytheme ) and natural populations ( e.g. , Euphydryas editha ) of butterflies . She has also done long-term studies on temperate montane species at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory , including the locally introduced Gillettes checkerspot ( Euphydryas gillettii ) and the Mormon fritillary ( Speyeria mormonia ) . Her research on S . mormonia in particular led to significant advancements in the understanding of the mechanisms underlying insect life history traits through the integration of knowledge on nutrient resource allocation . Boggs research on S . mormonia in the Colorado Rocky Mountains garnered media interest in 2013 when she used over two decades of long-term data to show how climate change can affect pollinator populations , raising awareness of this important issue . She showed that a single climate driver , early snow melt , affected S . mormonia population dynamics in indirect and direct ways . First , earlier snow melts led to situations where developing nectar flowers were decimated by early season frost events . For S . mormonia , this meant increased competition for nectar and therefore fewer eggs laid at the end of the season . In the following year after the eggs overwintered , early snow melts and early season frost events impacted the population once again , but this time directly through mortality of post-diapause caterpillars . Combined , the effects of early snow melt in two consecutive years explained as much as 84% of the variation in the population growth rate . In a New York Times interview , her co-author on the paper , David W . Inouye , stated that , It is very unusual for research to uncover such a simple mechanism that can explain almost all of the variation in growth rate of an insect population . At the time the article was published , very few studies existed that illustrated the mechanisms whereby climate change can affect species life history traits and fitness . Overall , Boggs work has mainly focused on determining how environmental variation affects individuals , populations , and species interactions . Honors and awards . Boggs became a fellow of the California Academy of Sciences in 2000 and the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2001 . She also served as the Stanford Friends University fellow in Undergraduate Education ( 2010–2012 ) . In 2012 , Boggs was awarded the Lloyd W .
