Egil Olsen to Coach Iraq

Egil Olsen will be the new coach of Iraq. The eccentric, welly-wearing, 65-year-old Norwegian, who was previously in charge of the Norwegian national team and Wimbledon, succeeds Brazilian Jorvan Vieira as coach of the new Asian champions.

Olsen's 3-year contract stipulates he will live outside Iraq and employ a Norwegian assistant.
