Cote d’Ivoire international Didier Ya Konan rejoins Hannover
Berlin: Striker Didier Ya Konan has rejoined German football club Hannover 96 after six months at Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad.
Ya Konan returned to his former club until the end of the season, the club announced Tuesday. The 30-year-old striker penned a contract until June 2015 with an option for another year, as per reports.
“I’m coming home, it is a great feeling. It makes me proud to wear Hannover’s outfit and to play for these supporters. I’m going to work hard on my comeback,” Ya Konan said Tuesday.
He joined the Bundesliga club in 2009, scoring 39 goals in 125 appearances.
“He has exceptional skills as a striker. We will work with him on his fitness to add an alternative to our offense. With him we increase the quality of our squad,” Hannover coach Tayfun Korkut said.
Hannover are currently eighth in the standings.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
