Baseball: Nationals hire Cubs coach Martinez as manager
The Chicago Cubs bench coach Dave Martinez welcomes Mike Olt to the dugout
Washington - Al Maghrib Today
Dave Martinez has earned his first Major League Baseball manager assignment after the Chicago Cubs bench coach was hired by the Washington Nationals on Monday, the team announced.
The 53-year-old Martinez agreed to a three-year contract, becoming the seventh manager in Nationals history since the club moved from Montreal before the 2005 season.
"We are delighted to bring Dave aboard and excited about what he will bring to our clubhouse and our dugout," owner Theodore Lerner said.
Martinez was considered the front-runner to replace Dusty Baker, who was fired as the Cubs manager last week after two seasons.
Martinez joins the Nationals for what will be his 30th season in American pro baseball. A 16-year major league outfielder, Martinez has been a coach for the last 10 seasons.
Martinez was a .276 career hitter while playing for nine different teams.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris.

The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
