Panduru quits as coach of Romania's FC Vaslui
BUCHAREST, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Promoted Vaslui's Basarab Panduru on Sunday became the second coach to quit in the Romanian first division this season.
Vaslui are one from bottom with only one point from five matches.
Emil Sandoi resigned from another promoted club, Pandurii Tirgu Jiu earlier this month after four straight defeats.
"I wanted to keep Panduru as coach but eventually we agreed on an amiable separation," Vaslui's main shareholder Adrian Porumboiu told Reuters.
Porumboiu said Mircea Rednic, who steered Vaslui to promotion for the first time in the club's history, would probably return.

Gabon sack Brazilian coach Jairzinho after defeat
LIBREVILLE, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Gabon's soccer federation have sacked the national team's Brazilian coach Jairzinho -- a member of Brazil's 1970 World Cup-winning side -- following the team's 3-0 defeat by Angola in a World Cup qualifier this month.
The September 4 defeat left the Panthers languishing fourth in their African zone qualifying Group Four for the 2006 World Cup finals, trailing well behind Angola, Nigeria and Zimbabwe on points.
Leon Ababe, president of Gabon's Football Federation (Fegafoot) said in a letter published at the weekend that Jairzinho, who had coached the national side for more than a year, was being dismissed for "unsatisfactory performance".
Federation sources said the Brazilian had already submitted a resignation letter to the Gabonese soccer body, which has been plagued by internal wrangling and financial problems.
Fegafoot were due to choose a new coaching team for the Panthers, who face Algeria in their next World Cup qualifier in early October.

Betar coach Ohana quits over differences with new owner
By Ori Lewis
JERUSALEM, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Betar Jerusalem coach Eli Ohana quit on Saturday after just one match in the Israeli premier league season, saying he did not want to continue working under the club's new owner.
Ohana told a news conference he was unhappy with the attitude shown towards him and Betar's former bosses by Russian tycoon Arkady Gaidamak, who took over the club last month.
"I had come to my decision to leave on Wednesday already, but I decided to wait until after (Thursday's) news conference as I did not want to cause a row," said the charismatic Ohana.
"I had a private conversation for about 10-15 minutes with Gaidamak in which he tried to persuade me (to change my mind).
"I am not leaving because of the club's form ... but it is better to go now than in the middle of the season when, if things go badly, it could be a far more unpleasant situation," he added.
Several conflicting statements made by Gaidamak, in which he praised and criticised Betar's previous owners and Ohana, came to a head on Wednesday when the Russian was quoted in Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth as saying Ohana lacked the leadership qualities to be the Betar coach.
Ohana, a former Israel international striker in the 1970s and 1980s, has been a popular figure at Betar but the club's erratic form during his two seasons in charge prompted a large section of supporters to call for his dismissal.
The day after Gaidamak's comments were reported, he called a news conference but his bid to ease matters failed in the presence of a nervous-looking Ohana and the glum-faced former owners Meir Panigel and Meir Levy.
Gaidamak was largely unknown to Israeli fans before he bought a 100 percent stake in the club last month. He broke on to the Israeli sports scene in July when he took a controlling stake in Hapoel Jerusalem basketball club.

Advocaat hired as South Korean soccer coach
September 13, 2005
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- South Korea's soccer team turned to a Dutch coach once again, hiring Dick Advocaat Tuesday.
The 57-year-old Advocaat will replace Jo Bonfrere, who resigned last month. Advocaat signed a contract running through next year's World Cup, Song Ki-ryong of the Korean Football Association said. The deal can be extended until 2007 if both sides agree.
Guus Hiddink, another Dutch coach, led South Korea to the semifinals of the 2002 World Cup, when the South Koreans lost to Germany 1-0 at Seoul. Hiddink currently is coach of Australia's national team and PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch Eredivisie, the nation's top league.
Advocaat coached the Netherlands in the 1994 World Cup, where the Dutch lost to Brazil in the quarterfinals. He won the 1996 Dutch Cup and 1997 Eredivisie with PSV Eindhoven, then won the Scottish title twice with Glasgow Rangers.
Advocaat coached the Dutch national team during qualifying for the 2004 European Championship. He was fired by Germany's Borussia Moenchengladbach in April after less than six months as coach, and in July became coach of the United Arab Emirates national team. Song said Advocaat notified the UAE Football Association on Sunday of his intention to end that contract. The UAE failed to qualify for the World Cup.
South Korea already has qualified for its sixth straight World Cup.
