By Sports Desk June 17, 2021

International football player and captain of the ‘Reggae Boyz’, Damion Lowe, has joined the star-studded lineup of Digicel brand ambassadors.

Damion joins the league of famous Digicel faces and takes his place among the Digital Operator’s galaxy of stars in athletics, music and entertainment.

Lowe joins the Digicel brand ambassador roster on the heels of the company’s deepened commitment to local football through a $200 million, three-season sponsorship of the redesigned Jamaica Premier League.

In welcoming Lowe to the Digicel family, Chief Marketing Officer for Digicel Jamaica, Nasha-Monique Douglas, noted that given his experience representing Jamaica internationally, and participating in leagues in the US, Europe, and Egypt, the international defender will serve as an excellent role model and mentor for young and aspiring footballers across the country.

She remarked, “Damion has represented his country brilliantly and his talent has been recognised by teams and leagues across the world. His work ethic and dedication to perfecting his craft make him an ideal brand ambassador for Digicel as we continue to inspire younger generations of Jamaicans to strive for excellence. We are delighted to have him as a brand ambassador, and we look forward to the tremendous positive impact that this partnership will deliver for our customers.”

Known for his clever skills in strengthening a team’s defence, the quick-footed and outspoken Lowe is considered a real threat to his opponents. He continues to set and conquer new goals throughout his football career.

“I'm happy and proud to be a part of the Digicel Jamaica family. Digicel has been a powerhouse in both sponsorship and support of football across Jamaica and the Caribbean for many years. I look forward to adding to that legacy. I'm excited to work with their team and the other ambassadors under the Digicel umbrella,” commented Lowe.

In his new role with Digicel, fans and football enthusiasts are set to be inspired by his strengths as a player, in addition to his wisdom as a mentor and role model for those who aspire to make it the world of football and sports, in general.

Lowe joins the lineup of Digicel Brand Ambassadors including the world’s fastest man and Digicel Chief Speed Officer, Usain Bolt; world-leading sprinter, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce; world Under-20 100M and 200M sprint champion, Briana Williams; Special Olympics champion, Alphanso Cunningham; dancehall legend, Bounty Killer; reggae sensation, Jesse Royal; and, media personalities Khadine ‘Miss Kitty’ Hylton and ZJ Sparks.

    Reported Liverpool managerial target Xabi Alonso is unlikely to jump ship from Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen, according to Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness.

    The 42-year-old, who lifted the Champions League trophy in 2005 during his debut season with the Reds, has been a widely touted as a likely replacement for Jurgen Klopp, who in January announced he will stand down at the end of the season after eight-and-a-half decorated years at Anfield.

    Bayern are thought to be one of the other clubs courting the Spaniard’s services, but Hoeness was highly pessimistic about anyone’s chances of luring Alonso away from Leverkusen.

    He told Das Erste: “We’ll have to see if we can do it this year.

    “It will be difficult, if not probably impossible. (Alonso) is more inclined to stay at Bayer Leverkusen in view of their current successes, because he would not want to leave them behind.

    “Let’s say if he had two or three more years of success, it would probably be easier to bring him out of there.”

    Alonso’s men are on course to secure the first Bundesliga title in the club’s history, sitting 10 points clear of Bayern Munich in second.

    In February, their 2-1 victory over Mainz to make it 33 games unbeaten broke the German record for consecutive competitive matches without a loss,  surpassing Hansi Flick’s Bayern Munich team of 2020 and 2021.

    They have since extended that run to 38 fixtures, most recently with a 3-2 victory over Freiburg before the international break.

  • Willie Kirk sacked as Leicester boss after position became ‘untenable’ Willie Kirk sacked as Leicester boss after position became ‘untenable’

    Leicester have sacked women’s first-team boss Willie Kirk after the club determined the Scot had “breached the team’s code of conduct to a degree that makes his position untenable”.

    The 45-year-old last took charge of the Foxes when they lost 4-0 in the Women’s Super League to Chelsea on March 3, before the club subsequently announced that Kirk was “assisting the club with an internal process”  and would not be on the touchline for their March 9 FA Cup quarter-final.

    Kirk’s then-assistant Jennifer Foster, supported by first team coach Stephen Kirby, oversaw that 2-0 victory and have remained at the helm since.

    They will remain in charge until Kirk’s permanent successor is named.

    A Leicester statement read: “Leicester City Football Club can confirm that Willie Kirk has been dismissed from his position as LCFC Women Manager.

    “Following an extensive internal disciplinary process and respecting the Club’s obligations to individual privacy, Willie was determined to have breached the team’s code of conduct to a degree that makes his position untenable.

    “Established and implemented ahead of the start of the current season, the code forms part of the Club’s ongoing commitment to professionalising the women’s game since the takeover of LCFC Women in 2020, promoting a performance-led culture among players, coaches and technical staff.

    “First Team responsibilities for LCFC Women will continue to be led by Jennifer Foster, supported by Stephen Kirby, while the Club begins the process of appointing a new permanent manager.”

    Lembikisa picked the right time to score his first goal with Jamaica with a powerful left-footed finish in the 1-0 Third-Place win versus Panama. He also had seven clearances.

    The full team is as follows: GK Matt Turner (USA), Defenders: Antonee Robinson (USA), Michael Hector (Jamaica), Cesar Montes (Mexico), Dexter Lembikisa (Jamaica), Midfielders: Edson Alvarez (Mexico), Tyler Adams (USA), Weston McKinnie (USA), Forwards: Gio Reyna (USA), Christian Pulisic (USA), Haji Wright (USA).
