Reports: Maradona on short list to coach UAE

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -Diego Maradona is reportedly among the candidates to take over as coach of the United Arab Emirates national team.

Yousuf Al Serkal, chairman of the UAE’s Football Association interim committee, was quoted Monday in the local media as saying the Argentine great is on a short list that contains at least three names.

A decision is expected before the UAE’s league season wraps up in May.

Last month, Maradona said would accept the job “with pleasure.” He has coached Dubai-based Al Wasl since last year.

The UAE has had a caretaker coach since Srecko Katanec of Slovenia was fired after a 3-1 loss to Lebanon in September.

Iran: President’s press adviser sentenced (AP)

TEHRAN, Iran ? Iran’s news agency says the president’s press adviser has been sentenced to a year in prison. The charge: “publishing materials contrary to Islamic norms.”

Ali Akbar Javanfekr is just the latest of dozens of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s political backers to be targeted by hard-line opponents. This appears to be part of an internal power struggle over influencing upcoming elections for parliament and for president in 2013.

Javanfekr wrote in an official publication that the practice of women wearing a head-to-toe black covering known as a chador was not originally an Iranian practice but was imported. This was considered offensive by hard-line Iranian clerics.

Javanfekr was also banned from journalism activities for three years. He has 20 days to appeal the sentence.
