Birmingham complete signing of Pandiani
LONDON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Birmingham City have completed the signing of Uruguay striker Walter Pandiani from Spanish side Deportivo Coruna, the Premier League club said on Friday.
The two clubs agreed a three million pounds ($5.34 million), three-year deal after the 29-year-old spent a successful loan spell at St Andrew's during the second half of last season.
Pandiani originally moved to Birmingham on loan in February after Depor opened disciplinary proceedings against him for publicly criticising coach Javier Irureta and some of his team mates.
The burly English-style centre-forward, noted for his strength in the air, moved to Depor from Penarol five years ago but struggled to secure a first-team place and had a spell on loan at Real Mallorca before returning to Deportivo.
Pandiani impressed during his loan spell, scoring four goals in 14 appearances.
Birmingham who were 12th in the Premier League last year, open their new campaign at Fulham on August 13.

Salas returns to Universidad de Chile
SANTIAGO, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Chile striker Marcelo Salas has returned to his homeland to play for Universidad de Chile, the club where he began his career.
Salas, 30, signed a one-year contract late on Tuesday after more than two weeks of negotiations. He said he had turned down several offers to play for clubs abroad.
"I thought about it for a long time and decided I wanted to be in my country, with my daughters," he told reporters. "I was fed up with all the travelling and being alone."
Salas, whose recent career has been plagued by injuries, played for the club from 1993-96, scoring 50 goals. Since then he has played for Lazio and Juventus in Italy and had two spells with River Plate in neighbouring Argentina.
In June, he became Chile's leading international goalscorer after claiming his 35th goal in a 3-1 win over Bolivia.

Sanchez dismissed as UNAM beat Guadalajara in Mexico
MEXICO CITY, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Outspoken UNAM coach Hugo Sanchez was sent off again as his team beat Guadalajara 1-0 in a passionate Mexican championship match on Sunday.
Sanchez, who has tried to improve his behaviour after frequently dismissals in the past, said he suspected he was being victimised after he was ordered from the touchline late in the game.
"It surprised me," he said. "It seems there are indications on the part of the (Mexican Football) Federation pressuring the referees to find a motive to send me off."

The former Real Madrid and Mexico striker has angered the Mexican federation with his non-stop criticism of national team coach and bitter personal rival Ricardo La Volpe.
UNAM president Aaron Padilla said he was also baffled by the dismissal.
"Hugo has promised not to get sent off in the championship, he has been behaving himself and we don't know why he was sent off," he said.
Argentina striker Bruno Marioni scored with a spectacular left-foot volley on the hour as the Pumas kept up a 100 percent record after two games at the start of the Apertura championship.
Guadalajara, who field only Mexican players, have one point.
Cruz Azul, who beat Atlas 1-0, are the only other team to have won both their opening games.
The Cement Mixers are playing under assistant coach Isaac Mizrahi after the kidnapping of Ruben Omar Romano, who was abducted by heavily-armed men as he drove home from a training session last month.
On Friday, police said that the kidnappers had made the first contact for negotiations, raising hopes the 47-year-old Argentine could soon be released.
In other matches, defending champions America drew 0-0 at Pachuca and Toluca, coached by Argentina's 1978 World Cup winning midfielder America Gallego, beat newly-promoted San Luis 2-1.

Hoegmo appointed Rosenborg Trondheim coach
OSLO, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Per Mathias Hoegmo has been appointed as coach of Norwegian champions Rosenborg Trondheim, the club's sporting director Rune Bratseth said on Monday.
Hoegmo replaces Per Joar Hansen, who stepped down on Sunday after the team's 2-1 defeat by Lillestrom.
The club had started the season chasing a record 14th consecutive league title but instead are suffering their worst run since the 1970s. They are languishing in eighth place in the 14-strong league.
Former Tromso coach Hoegmo was recently working as a soccer expert for Norway's national broadcaster NRK.
His first game in charge will be on Wednesday when Rosenborg travel to Steaua Bucharest for the first leg of their third round qualifying encounter in the Champions League.

Everton complete Phil Neville signing
(Updates after signing completed, adds quotes)
LONDON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Everton have completed the signing of Manchester United's England defender Phil Neville for an undisclosed fee, the Merseyside club said on Thursday.
The 28-year-old full back, who has 52 international caps, signed a five-year contract after passing a medical.
He completed the transfer in time to be eligible for Everton's Champions League third qualifying round tie with Spanish side Villarreal, the first leg of which takes place at Goodison Park on Tuesday.
Neville, who can also play in midfield, has spent his entire 10-year playing career at United after coming through the trainee ranks alongside brother Gary.
He won six Premier League titles, three FA Cups and the Champions League.
However, he struggled to command a regular starting position last season and with next year's World Cup on the horizon he opted to move.
"I spoke to Alex Ferguson and it was made clear that I wasn't going to get enough football next season," Neville told the Everton website.
"I was frustrated last season, he knew that, and we came to an agreement that it would be best if he gave me permission to talk to other clubs."
Everton manager David Moyes said: "We are absolutely delighted to have concluded a deal with a player of Phil Neville's calibre and experience.
"Phil is a quality footballer who will, I feel certain, improve and enhance the squad we are putting together here at Everton.
"He is very much a professional's professional."

Kleberson joins Besiktas in four-year deal
ISTANBUL, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Brazilian midfielder Kleberson signed a four-year deal with Turkish club Besiktas on Monday after two disappointing years at Manchester United.
The 26-year-old, a World Cup winner in 2002, struggled at United after joining from Atletico Paranaense in 2003 and lost his place in the national side as a result.
"Today I have come from one big club Manchester United to another big club so I am very happy," Kleberson told reporters at a signing ceremony in Istanbul.
Besiktas executives said they had been trying to sign the Brazilian for a year. The deal consists of a three-year contract with the option of a one-year extension, the club said.
He will join Brazilian striker Ailton, who signed for Besiktas last month from Schalke 04.

Celtic's Balde set to join Olympique Marseille
PARIS, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Celtic's Guinean defender Bobo Balde is set to join Olympique Marseille, the Ligue 1 club said on Monday.
"He should sign a three-year deal before Wednesday," Marseille's sports director Jose Anigo told the club's website.
"It should work. I have not often seen someone who wanted to come so badly."
The Guinean, 29, joined Celtic from Toulouse in 2001 and has been a mainstay of the Glasgow club's defence.
He was dropped for a match by new manager Gordon Strachan after the 5-0 defeat to Artmedia Bratislava in the first leg of second qualifying round of the Champions League.

Newcastle set to sign Italy defender Coco on loan
LONDON, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Newcastle United hope to tie up the loan signing of Inter Milan defender Francesco Coco in the next 24 hours, the English Premier League club said on their website on Monday.
The 28-year old left-back, who has won 17 caps for Italy and previously played for AC Milan and Barcelona, has been training with Newcastle.
"We are in negotiations with Inter Milan over Francesco Coco coming here on loan for the rest of the season with an option to purchase," said Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd.

Former youth coach succeeds Giresse as Georgia manager
TBILISI, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Former youth coach Gaioz Darsadze was named carateker manager of the Georgian national team on Monday.
Darsadze, 41, takes over from Frenchman Alain Giresse, who was sacked last month following the country's dismal showing in the 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign.
The executive board of the Georgian soccer federation (GSF) voted unanimously to hand the vacant job to Darsadze, who had served as GSF's technical director since last year. The GSF said they would appoint a permanent coach at the end of the year.
Darsadze will make his debut coaching the senior side in a World Cup European Zone, Group Two qualifier against their former Soviet rivals Kazakhstan in Almaty next Wednesday.
Georgia, with five points from seven games, and pointless Kazakhstan occupy the bottom two places in their group.

Dynamo Kiev sack coach after Champions League exit
KIEV, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Dynamo Kiev have sacked coach Leonid Buryak after just two months in the job, the Ukrainian club said on Tuesday, following a string of poor results.
Dynamo, the winners of 13 Soviet and 11 post-Soviet league titles, have recently suffered a series of humiliating defeats and were knocked out of last week's second qualifying round of the Champions League by unfancied Swiss side Thun.
Buryak was replaced as acting coach by Anatoly Demyanenko, 45, previously a senior member of the coaching staff.
Buryak, 52, had replaced Josef Sabo in June at the helm of the most celebrated club in Soviet and post-Soviet history. He had also coached the Ukrainian national side in 2002-2003.
Dynamo finished second behind Shakhtar Donetsk in the league last season but did manage to defeat their rivals in the Ukrainian Cup final.
