Frank Lampard sacked by Premier League strugglers Everton

15 days ago Stuff.co.nz

Everton have fired manager Frank Lampard in a bid to extend their 68-season unbroken run in England's top flight. But axing the 44-year-old is unlikely to fix the problems at Everton which go well beyond the manager's dug-out.

Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk urges Fifa to remove Iran from men's World Cup

Ukraine’s top football club has urged Fifa to remove Iran from the World Cup because of the country's alleged military support to the Russian invasion. However, if an Asian team was suspended there would be no precedent for Fifa to replace it with a European team at the World Cup. Fifa has suspended Russian teams following its invasion of Ukraine, which barred Russia from playing in the World Cup qualifying playoffs in March. Fifa normally only suspends national teams when the country's government is judged to have interfered in the independent running of the national soccer federation.

Junior doctor denied Medical Council registration in NZ calls for change

Junior doctor Mourin Das says she may return to Australia to work as a doctor after failing to gain her registration from the Medical Council of New Zealand. But the Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ) says she doesn’t meet the necessary criteria needed to work in her chosen field. “I’ve had a number of medical job offers in New Zealand, but when I tried to register with the Medical Council it said my experience wasn’t comparable,” she said. She said the comparable health system pathway for registration, which Das applied under, doesn’t require the sitting and passing of an examination to gain registration.
