CONFIRMED: Avram Grant resigns from Ghana job

-

Avram Grant has resigned from his post as Ghana coach, just three weeks to the end of his contract.
The Israeli signed a 27-month deal with the Ghana Football Association in November 2014 to succeed James Kwesi Appiah as coach of the Black Stars.
According to GFA President Kwesi Nyantakyi, Grant had two tasks; to "do well" at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea and to "win" the 2017 edition in Gabon.
However, the 61-year-old only managed to secure Runner-up spot in 2015 and fourth place in 2017.
"After an extremely amicable meeting with the president of Ghana FA, and following more than two successful years in charge of the national team, I've informed Mr Nyantakyi that time is right for me to move on to a new challenge and I thank him for the opportunity," Grant said, according to Sky Sports.
"I've hugely enjoyed my time in Ghana taking over after the disastrous 2014 World Cup campaign and rebuilding the squad to reach the final in the African Cup of Nations for only the second time in 23 years, and also the semi final of this year's competition.
"I'm proud of the fact that I'm leaving an extremely professional, strong squad of players of a good age, who I'm sure will go on to achieve great success in the future.
"The passion and loyalty of the supporters is something I'll always remember."
Grant was in charge of Ghana for 29 games; winning 14, drawing 8 and losing 7

One of the founding fathers of the internet, Robert Taylor, has died. While working at the Pentagon in the 1960s, he instigated the creation of Arpanet – a computer network that initially linked together four US research centres, and later evolved into the internet. At Xerox, he later oversaw the first computer with desktop-inspired icons and a word processor that formed the basis of Microsoft Word. Mr Taylor died at home aged 85. His family told the Los Angeles Times that he had suffered from Parkinson’s disease among other ailments. Mr Taylor studied psychology at university, but worked as an engineer at several aircraft companies and Nasa before joining the US Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Project Agency (Arpa) in 1965. At the time, Arpa funded most of the country’s computer systems research. In his role as the director of the organisation’s Information Processing Techniques Office, Mr Taylor wanted to address the fact different institutions ...

MESSAGE ON THE STATE OF THE NATION  BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFO-ADDO, ON THE OCCASION OF THE STATE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT ON  TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2017. Mr. Speaker, It is good to be back here again in this Chamber, where I spent some 12 memorable years as a Member of Parliament. I recollect with nostalgia the vigorous debates of my days here as a Minority MP, and I have very fond memories of being on the Majority side also. I can see some old faces from my first days here – like the 2nd Deputy Speaker, Hon. Alban Bagbin, whom I came to meet in the House in 1997, and who became a good friend of mine; and Hon Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the Majority Leader, with whom I entered Parliament on the same side, at the same time. On December 7th, 2016, the Ghanaian people went to the polls, and voted decisively for change. As a result, today, I am here again in this House, this time as President of the Republic, having secured an emphatic, electoral victory. M...
