ACCRA Asics Gel Nimbus Shoes Outlet , Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has so far received dozens of applications from seasoned coaches to be considered for the vacant Black Stars coaching post, Spokesperson Ibrahim Saani Daara said here on Thursday.
He said the list was expected to swell in the coming weeks, as the GFA had been receiving several applications since last Tuesday.
The GFA is searching for a seasoned coach to replace Kwasi Appiah who parted ways with the association last week after leading the team to beat Togo 3-2 in the African Cup of Nations qualifier in Lome.
The Spokesperson reiterated that the selection of a national team coach would be based on competence and not on nationality or color.
"We have to find the right coach for the Black Stars so the application is still in the air until we get the right one," he told Xinhua in an interview.
Leading the pack of coaches eyeing the Ghana Black Stars coaching job is Serbian Milovan Rajevac, who is not new to Ghana.
He coached the Stars from 2008 to 2010 with a World Cup quarter final feat with the Black Stars in South Africa.
The other coaches who have submitted their applications include Swiss Michel Pont, an assistant of Ottmar Hitzfeld, the coach of the Swiss national team since 2008 Asics Gel Kayano Shoes Outlet , Portuguese Jose Alberto Barosso, coach of the reserve side of Sporting Braga in Portugal, English Boby Davidson, currently the youth team coach at Crystal Palace and assistant manager of the England national under-19 football team.
The rest are Zavisa Milosavlejevic, Serbian football manager, who currently manages FC Dordoi Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan, Peruvian Carlos Alberto Paulette and German Peter Obermeyer.
Rajevac is believed to be the front runner for the top job.
Yongche's number of corporate customers surged immediately after the government announced on July 16 that most official cars have to be auctioned off. Provided to China Daily
Executives of the car rental company Yongche are rubbing their hands with delight as representatives of state enterprises beat a path to their doors looking to do business after a major change in government policy.
Hu Xulei Asics White Shoes Outlet , its branding director, says the number of corporate customers the company has surged immediately after the government announced on July 16 that most official cars have to be auctioned.
"Before the guidelines were announced, we had more than 100 government customers," Hu says. "After the policy was announced, the number shot up 30 to 50 percent."
Yongche, founded in 2010, is the largest Internet-based car sharing service company in China Asics Black Shoes Outlet , operating with more than 50,000 vehicles in 74 cities.
The company made the news recently when, at the beginning of last month, it started offering services in New York, San Francisco and Phoenix, Arizona, targeting Chinese travelers with a poor command of English. It will start with airport transport services Asics Running Shoes Outlet , and the company says tariffs will be lower than those of the main local competitor Uber.
"Previously, we had to go out to sell our services to corporate institutions door-to-door, but now we just sit in the office and representatives from government institutions come knocking on the door," Hu says.
Zhou Hang, founder and CEO of Yongche, says his is not a traditional car rental company.
"We don't own a single car. We sign contracts with carrental companies and simply offer an information-sharing platform for partner car-rental companies."
Unlike car-rental companies such as eHi and China Auto Rental, which only lease cars Asics Shoes Outlet , Yongche provides a chauffeur.
From the start, Zhou has positioned it as a medium to high-end services company for business people. Cars can be obtained with one hour's notice, and the minimum rental time is one hour.
After the changes to rules on cars were announced, central government-level institutions chose 51 rental companies to bid to become supply cars to the government. China Auto Rental, eHi and some local taxi companies made it onto the list.
They will face strong rivalry from rental services affiliated to local carmakers, analysts say. These State-owned carmakers are important tax contributors and they are referred to as the "elder sons" of city governments.
Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation, for example Asics Gel Nimbus Shoes Clearance , has a large fleet designated for government events such as the annual meetings of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and other important forums. SAIC in Shanghai and GAC Group in Guangzhou provide similar services. These companies have close government relations, so they are strong candidates for government car services, analysts say.
BAIC, together with Foton, a commercial vehicle maker in Beijing, just supplied 119 cars and buses for the upcoming meetings of 2014 APEC in the capital, and will provide 800 more.
Yongche Asics Gel Kayano Shoes Clearance , faced with such stiff competition, says it is confident it can succeed because it has a strong presence nationwide, something the local operators lack.
"After the policy came out, government institutions realized that leasing cars or renting car services from professional companies is a cheaper way of obtaining cars," Hu says.
Under the new car rules, current government cars will be sold by auction by the end of next year, and Hu reckons car rental companies will buy many of them.
"We can use these cars to serve government customers. By doing this Asics White Shoes Clearance , they save on petrol and maintenance, which makes up 80 to 90 percent of the costs of keeping a government fleet."
There are two kinds of cars for public servants and state-companies to choose from: economy models and premium models.
The economy models, such as a Sagitar and Lavida, both Volkswagens, are worth 100,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan Asics Black Shoes Clearance , while the premium models, such as a Buick GL8, cost between 150
