Manchester United announced today that former striker Ole Gunnar Solskjær has been appointed as caretaker manager until the end of the 2018/19 season.

 Excerpt: Official Manchester United Website

Solskjær scored 126 goals in 366 appearances for United between 1996 and 2007. In 2008 he became the club’s reserve-team manager, before taking the managerial role at FC Molde in Norway.

Solskjær will take charge of the first team with immediate effect and will remain in place while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new full-time manager. He will be joined by Mike Phelan as first-team coach, working alongside Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna.

“Manchester United is in my heart and it’s brilliant to be coming back in this role. I’m really looking forward to working with the very talented squad we have, the staff and everyone at the club,” Said Solskjær.

Ed Woodward, Executive Vice Chairman, comments:

“Ole is a club legend with huge experience, both on the pitch and in coaching roles. His history at Manchester United means he lives and breathes the culture here and everyone at the club is delighted to have him and Mike Phelan back. We are confident they will unite the players and the fans as we head into the second half of the season.”

Caf confirms Ghana AFCON qualifiers with Sierra Leone cancelled

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has called off Ghana’s back-to-back 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games with Sierra Leone. 

Caf said the matches will not take place because Sierra Leone did not meet conditions aimed at lifting the Fifa-imposed suspension of the country's FA.

Fifa acted because of sanctions imposed on the SLFA President Isha Johansen and General Secretary Christopher Kamara. They have denied any wrongdoing and Fifa demanded their reinstatement.

Caf said the games had been "cancelled as SLFA did not meet the conditions stipulated in the letter sent by Caf on Fifa's decision to suspend the federation".

On Tuesday, Fifa rejected a request by the SLFA - signed by Isha Johansen in her capacity as President - to lift the suspension imposed last week. The request was made after an emergency meeting of SLFA and sport ministry officials - featuring both excluded officials - which was aimed at trying to convince Fifa to rescind the ban.

But Fifa's basic demand that the President and General Secretary be reinstated has not been met, leading to the cancellation of the matches. It is not immediately clear if the move means permanent disqualification from the race to Cameroon 2019 for Sierra Leone - or what the consequences are for the other teams in the group, Ghana, Ethiopia and Kenya.

BREAKING NEWS - NJALA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AWAIT SU ELECTIONS DAY

NJALA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AWAIT SU ELECTIONS DAY

As we awaits the 23rd and 24th Student Union Election day, here are few tips that I would love to send out to all Students of Njala University, Sierra Leone. For far too long the University administration and the previous led government of the country seized the opportunity of students not to have an SU body and the affairs of students where led by selected few from student voluntary groups on various campuses and this was against the will and choice of thousands of students. Today, the new management of the University has taken the move to reconsider the ban for student activities (SU groups) on campus and has decided to bring back the lost glory by conducting a student union election this August on both campuses (Njala and Bo). We just hope the elections will be free,fear and without any administrative interference that will jeopardize the peaceful process.

Notwithstanding,  every legal and registered student of the university has a right to vote and be voted for (as per requisite criteria) and none shall be deprived of such exercise. Your voice can be represented via your vote! So vote at freewill and for the right candidate for proper, transparent and accountable representation.

Why Should I Vote?

Here are the top 5 reasons to cast your vote in this year’s SU Elections:

1. It will affect your student experience

The SU Officers that are chosen by you will act and
speak on your behalf for the whole year. This means
that it’s important you choose a candidate who wants
to change and improve things that will affect you as
each candidate will have different ideas about what
they want to change.

2. The SU Officers and all student leaders work hard to make 

improvements for the students at NU

SU Officers are influential in ensuring that you and your opinions are represented to 

the University. This helps to ensure that the changes that you want to see are made.

They also work hard to campaign for things that will improve the lives of students, 

and demonstrate passion and enthusiasm throughout. Voting can help your candidates

pursue their goals to achieve all of this.

3. You have your say

Even if your preferred candidate does not win, having your say in how you want things
to be run is very important. It is a small, but significant way to lead changes within the
University.

4. Ensures that Njala University SU is a fair and democratic student body

The more students who vote in SU elections, the more certain we can be that the officers

have been elected in a democratic way. This means that we know that as many students
as possible are happy with their new officers, and it will mean that the Officers will have
more support behind them when they represent you.

5. Your vote can decide the result

Every candidate works very hard to secure the votes of as many people as possible.
Usually the result is very close, so every single vote counts.

Why are they important?

Students' Union elections are important because it is vital that you have the chance
to vote for, the candidate you feel mirrors your views and will be committed to
working hard for you and the student body. During the Students' Union elections, each
candidate will produce a written manifesto,  this will outline what they would aim to
achieve if elected into their chosen position. Once elected, all representative will be
supported by the Students Union staff team to achieve as many thing they have promised
on their manifesto as possible.
