Nagelsmann announces Germany´s provisional Euro 2024 squad

Steven Nzonzi feels there is still a place for Sam Allardyce and his style of management, despite the former England manager having suffered two relegations in his last two jobs.

Allardyce could not save Leeds United from dropping to the Championship, with the 68-year-old failing to win any of his four games in charge after he replaced Javi Gracia in May.

Leeds confirmed on Friday that Allardyce would be leaving the club.

It is the second Premier League relegation on Allardyce s CV, after he also went down with West Brom in the 2020-21 season.

Nzonzi, who worked under Allardyce at Blackburn Rovers, feels his old boss style of management is not outdated.

He told Stats Perform: Of course, there is a place, there is no question about it, he has grea…

The game

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been experimenting with various formations this season as he seeks to arrest the slump and lead the team up the ladder, and it seems on this occasion he got it spot on with a 4-4-2 diamond. Following a couple of great performances after a long injury, Ibrahima Konate was given the weekend off as he prepares to go represent France at the World Cup, so it was Joe Gomez who played alongside Virgil van Dijk at…

Former Fulham and Bournemouth boss Scott Parker has replaced Carl Hoefkens as Club Brugge s new head coach.

Hoefkens, who was only appointed in May, defied the odds by helping Brugge finish above Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid to reach the knockout stage of the Champions League for the first time, where Benfica await over two legs.

However, they have struggled domestically as they sit fourth in the league and were knocked out of the cup by Sint-Truidense last week, leading to Hoefkens dismissal on Tuesday.

Parker managed Fulham between February 2019 and June 2021, before taking over the reins at Bournemouth ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

Welcome, Scott Parker!

Emiliano Martinez s late own goal proved the turning point as Arsenal came from behind twice to beat Aston Villa 4-2 and boost to their Premier League title hopes.

The Gunners, who were replaced at the summit after losing to Manchester City in midweek, looked to be heading to another underwhelming result at Villa Park before luck went their way in stoppage time.

Ollie Watkins clinical finish put former Arsenal boss Unai Emery s Villa in charge early on, and although Bukayo Saka soon equalised, the visitors trailed at the break thanks to Philippe Coutinho s sensationally worked team goal.

Oleksandr Zinchenko levelled again and that appeared to be as good as it would get for Arsenal, but Martinez inadvertently put into his own net late on and was then caught up the…

Celtic left-back Alexandro Bernabei has returned to South America to join Brazilian side Internacional on loan for the rest of 2024.

The Porto Allegre-based club confirmed the deal for the Argentinian, who has only made 16 starts since arriving at Celtic Park in the summer of 2022.

According to a recent report from Calciomercato.it, three Premier League clubs are interested in signing Divock Origi.

The belief is that the 27-year-old is a wanted man, with Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and West Ham all keeping an eye on the forward ahead of the summer transfer window.

One of the primary reasons for that is due to the struggles he’s been experiencing with AC Milan. He hasn’t quite been able to hit the ground running and as a result of that, his future is up in the air.

As we all know, he largely made his mark during his tenure with Liverpool. While with the Reds, Origi wasn’t overly consistent but he was when it came to the big occasions.

He’ll forever be remembered as a legend for what he was able to do back in 2019, when he se…

Chelsea attacker Noni Madueke is open to leaving the London club in the summer transfer window, according to . Madueke, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, has struggled for regular playing time for the Blues this season, and he is considering a parting of the ways.

Madueke joined Chelsea from PSV in January 2023. He is only 22 years of age and has a lot of potential. The former Tottenham Hotspur prospect was a big hit at PSV and was expected to hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge. However, the youngster has failed to convince Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino.

The English youngster has made only 21 appearances for Chelsea this season. He has scored four goals and given one assist in those games. Just like last season, Chelsea are havin…

Leicester will not be deducted Championship points if found to have breached Premier League financial rules before the end of the season, the EFL has announced.

The Foxes were charged with breaching the top flight’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) last month in relation to the assessment period ending with the 2022-23 season, when they were still a Premier League club.
