Jordi Cruyff at Fir Park? Could be! I remember we played Albion Rovers in a Friendly inearly July 2001 when Roberto Martinez was "taking part". Who was sat at the back of that old ramshackle stand they have but Jordi! Was quite an eye-opener that night!

 

Deposed Maltese champions Valletta FC have brought in Ton Caanen to replace departed coach Paul Zammit, while former FC Barcelona and Manchester United FC player Jordi Cruyff is also to join the Citizens.

 

Amicable departure

The 43-year-old Caanen has signed a three-year contract after Zammit left the club on amicable terms when his contract expired last week. Dutchman Caanen has coached in Ukraine and Israel with FC Metalurh Donetsk, Beitar Jerusalem FC, Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC, Maccabi Netanya FC and FC Stal Alchevsk.

 

Cruyff agreement

The club have also reached an agreement with Cruyff, the 35-year-old son of Oranje legend Johan Cruyff, who will be one of Valletta's three foreign players next season. He is expected to combine a playing role with a position as Caanen's assistant. This season's Premier League runners-up, Valletta will compete in the UEFA Europa League first qualifying round.
