"I'm pleased, very pleased; this is a great honor for me and I'm very proud," Faraoni said on the club's website.
Rotterdam, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Feyenoord midfielder Ricky van Haaren has suffered a torn ankle ligament that will keep him out for the next six weeks, it was confirmed by the club. Van Haaren has appeared in six Eredivisie matches this season for Feyenoord, but suffered the injury in training on Wednesday and has undergone tests to confirm the extent of the problem.
Feyenoord will return to action on January 22 at Venlo after entering the winter break in fifth place in the league table.
Barcelona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barcelona forward Pedro Rodriguez is set to spend the next 10 days on the sidelines after sustaining a hamstring injury. The problem occurred during Barca's Copa del Rey win over Osasuna on Thursday when the Spain international was forced off after sustaining the injury.
The news was worse for defender Andreu Fontas, who is due to miss the next six months because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Liverpool, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Everton announced Friday that it has signed midfielder Darron Gibson from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee. Gibson, 24, put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half year deal to become Everton's second signing of the January transfer window. The Toffees have also secured the services of American international Landon Donovan on a two-month loan.
A product of the youth system at Manchester United, Gibson broke into the first team in the 2005-06 season and went on to score 10 goals in his 60 appearances for the Red Devils.
The 44-year-old's contract was set to expire at the end of the season, but with Milan tied atop the league with Juventus on 37 points through 17 games, the club was eager to extend his stay.
Frisco, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FC Dallas defender George John has joined English League Championship side West Ham on a two-month loan deal, the club announced on Friday. As part of the agreement, West Ham will have the option to make the move permanent at the end of the two-month loan.
Glasgow, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Celtic's 10 consecutive wins during a 13- match unbeaten streak has lifted it to the top of the Scottish Premier League, but its cushion over Rangers is merely two points. Celtic has needed the incredible run to turn a 15-point deficit into the lead, but Dundee United visits Parkhead on Saturday, when a slip-up could allow its Glasgow rivals to return to the summit.
"We were 15 points behind but results went our way and we played really well in our games - things change quickly in football."
"It's definitely going to be a hard game," Celtic's Scott Brown said.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
