Mario Balotelli can leave Brescia on a free transfer in January because he is not suited to a relegation scrap, says the club's president Massimo Cellino. Balotelli, 29, has only scored twice and suffered racist abuse in a Serie A match away to Hellas Verona. In January, he can leave on a free. In this moment, he needs to choose which road is best for him," said Cellino. The president also sacked manager Fabio Grosso after three games and reappointed predecessor Eugenio Corini.
The decision was made based on the recommendation of the FA national teams and technical affairs committee, headed by Yusef Hussain Al-Sahlawi, the second vice-president of the federation and head of the committee. The FA board delegated the committee to sign a new technical staff to lead the team during the coming period.
It was subsequently established the insurance was in place. Krasner has extensive experience in football, having also been involved in administrations at Bournemouth and Port Vale. He shares the view of many within the game that Wigan will not be the last club to be brought to its knees by the financial impact of Covid-19. The world has changed," he said. Everything we thought about football has gone out of the window.
Mikel Arteta says he cannot "copy and paste" Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's philosophy at Arsenal. Arteta was Guardiola's assistant at City for three years before replacing Unai Emery as Arsenal boss in December. Arsenal face City in the Premier League at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, with Arteta taking on Guardiola for the first time as Gunners boss. It is a completely different context with the situations at City and Arsenal," said Arteta.
Who looked really bothered out there? "I looked to the sideline and I don't see the leadership. There's some big questions that need to be asked by the powers that be. John Hartson added: "There was no urgency in the Arsenal performance. Very lacklustre, it looked like they had no direction from the manager in terms of how they were going to play.

Goalkeeper - Aaron Ramsdale (Bournemouth) Ramsdale saved Ings' second-half penalty that would have made it 2-0 to Southampton on Sunday. Bournemouth were then denied an injury-time equaliser. Sam Surridge fired home from a tight angle, but a VAR review correctly found that Callum Wilson was offside. Just when you thought the penalty save by Aaron Ramsdale may prove pivotal in Bournemouth's fight for survival, VAR had to poke its nose into matters.
They had never been in the Champions League knockout stages before - [manager] Julian Nagelsmann had never been there. But they were so sure, they were balanced. Everything points towards Leipzig. Former Tottenham and Sevilla striker Freddie Kanoute: "Jose Mourinho has been a top manager and his record speaks for itself but the past few games from Tottenham have lacked passion. You saw Tottenham lose to Norwich [in the FA Cup] and it was like they were waiting for something to happen.
Leeds United moved a step closer to ending their 16-year Premier League absence, as a thumping 5-0 win over struggling Stoke City sent them back to the top of the Championship.

Professional Footballers' Association deputy chief executive Bobby Barnes said: "We have been assured of the intentions of all that there would be no resumption unless guarantees of safety could be given to the players.

The deadline set by Uefa is referred to in a set of guidelines on 'eligibility principles' for European competitions that the governing body's president and general secretary have sent out to football bodies.

Portsmouth should fancy themselves against anyone at this venue, but given their opponents, it's easy to feel that they're too short in the betting. What's more, as tough as they have been to beat, they've won just over half of their games at Fratton Park, so their odds-on price-tag ahead of a match against the league leaders seems excessive. Quite frankly, anything other than a tight game seems unlikely. The visitors won't give much away, so there's not likely to be much in it, whatever way it goes. At the prices, 'Wycombe +1 Handicap' looks a good bet. The Chairboys did lose narrowly to Oxford at the weekend, but that was their first away defeat in the league since September. Ainsworth's men have a habit of both keeping clean sheets and restricting teams to few chances on the road. They've recorded six shutouts and have surrendered an average of just 2.7 shots on target. When it comes to shots on target conceded on the road, Wycombe are statistically the best team in the division.
The two face off at Groupama Stadium in the first semi final, Lyon having beaten Brest in the quarters and Lille having beaten Amiens SC.

Lyon head to this game on a good run, with four straight wins, and are unbeaten in their last six matches, having won five of those.
Ancelotti was talking to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, and said: "I spoke with Klopp a few days ago, he told me that the decision to play Liverpool-Atletico was a criminal act and I think he's right. We are all living a life that we were not used to and that will change us profoundly. I'm sure we will all have to downsize, starting with football.

Change is happening. The work of LGBTQ+ supporters' groups will be spotlighted at Saturday's Football Pride, alongside an ever-growing number of inclusive clubs. Sammy Walker knows what a difference those inclusive teams can make. I was scouted by Wycombe and Watford," she says. I dreamed of playing professionally. But I knew it would be difficult to be a professional player and transgender. So I lost my passion for playing out of fear, I think.
Their best goalscorers this season are Krychowiak and Miranchuk with 4 and 3 goals from them. Lokomotiv’s last game was a tough away win against Akhmat Grozny 2:0, so this will be an ideal opportunity for consecutive wins. They have some problems with injuries as Jefferson Farfan will not play here. Djordjevic and Rotenberg are marked as questionable.

The Leicester defender will certainly command a huge fee, but he would hold down a starting position at Stamford Bridge for years to come so he would be worth paying up for. Read the full story Red Bull gives you wings (and a cut-price transfer fee) RB Leipzig sporting director Markus Krosche has admitted the Bundesliga club is interesting in signing wonderkid Erling Braut Haaland and they could even sign him for a "cut-price deal", according to the Mirror.
Newcastle have landed "a big coup" in signing Danny Rose until the end of the season, manager Steve Bruce says. Left-back Rose - brought in on loan from Tottenham - is Newcastle's third signing of the January transfer window after deals for Nabil Bentaleb and Valentino Lazaro. The 29-year-old arrives at a time where Newcastle have lost full-backs Paul Dummett and Jetro Willems to injury. It's a great honour for me to be here," said England international Rose.
Saudi Arabia's human rights record has also overshadowed the proposed takeover of Newcastle, owned by Mike Ashley for 13 years. In the email, Watling asks: "Whether the government, by allowing the sale to take place, is taking appropriate action to protect the value of UK sport?""Whether the government is taking seriously its manifesto commitment to instigate a fan-led review of football governance, including consideration of an owners' and directors' test which takes a holistic view of the health of UK sport?""What progress has been made since the statement to the committee on 8 May [2019] - almost a year ago - to stop Saudi Arabia's beoutQ and protect creative industries such as the Premier League, Wimbledon, BBC and Sky?"Watling also argues that the recovery of creative and sporting industries after the coronavirus outbreak would be helped if a solution to the piracy claims was found.

Tottenham have reversed their decision to use the government's furlough scheme for some non-playing staff during the coronavirus crisis following criticism from supporters. On 31 March, the club announced 550 employees would take a 20% pay cut in an attempt "to protect jobs". But on Monday, a Spurs statement said non-playing staff will receive "100% of their pay for April and May". Only board members will now take salary reductions, the statement added.
Barca, for example, had reached the semi-finals for the last nine seasons and monopolised the trophy between 2015 and 2018. There were occasional upsets, like Real's 2009 exit to Alcorcon, the season after losing to Real Union, but these proved increasingly rare. Ties are now settled in one match, leading to dramatic scenes such as third-tier Cultural Leonesa knocking out 10-times winners Atletico and Mirandes dumping out Celta Vigo, Sevilla and Villarreal.
Well this is going to be one of those matches that can change the season for some of the teams. Both teams are having a great season so far. Vaduz are at the 3rd spot with 41 pts while Kriens are right behind them with 40..Grasshopper are at the 2nd spot with only 44 pts so this is important match for both teams in order to get to that 2nd spot, however I strongly believe that Vaduz are by far the better team here and the odds are must try. Since the pause Vaduz had 2 very difficult matches between Winterthur which they won 4-1 and showed some very good performance against the 1st place team of Lausanne.On the other hand Kriens won Schaffhausen 3-0 and drawed with Ouchy 2-2 but I got to say that they were very very lucky and the results are not speaking the whole picture (Kriens was just so bad ) but they did take advantage of their chances and scored. Vaduz is really having some very good players. Sutter and Cicek are on fire while also they have some very decent players like Coulibaly, Simani , Dorn, Frick , Milinceanu all of this are very good players for this level of football. Vaduz should have the upper hand here, and that quality should come on surface
The Euro 2020 play-offs moved closer to being postponed after Fifa recommended that all impending internationals should be called off.

Ancelotti sounds ominous warning - analysisBBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNultyAncelotti's calm and measured approach to all of football's various fortunes is legendary - so for Everton's manager to use the word "unacceptable" to describe the 3-0 loss at Wolves sounds an ominous warning to their players. Ancelotti has done well to engineer a position of comfort for an Everton squad that has let down a succession of managers and is a monument to a wretched recruitment strategy in recent years.
Mourinho and Spurs fans may well lament VAR and suggest the red card for Son was harsh, but they'd just be making excuses for what was probably their worst showing since the 'Special One' took charge. Lampard's tactical reshuffle heading into the match proved key and his team came out on top in all departments.
Their 33 goals is one of the lowest totals in the league and only two teams have taken fewer shots Wolfsburg Proper Xbox vibes from this Wolfsburg jerseyThe city of Wolfsburg was only formed to house Volkswagen workers in 1938 (initially under a different name).

You don't like Volkswagen cars, Wolves, wolves or Wolfgang WolfFreiburg Even Freiburg's kit is boring.
Not really an expert in this league but guests are slightly better team, actually according to odds at just 1.44 for the away win quite big favorites for getting the win, just that they have quite a couple of draws so far this season, and even last season while playing here in the league the final score was just a 2-2 draw but both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals were good bets in that one. This while this season at Wathba the hosts won the game with 2-0 in the end as well.
A deal is expected to be struck before the end of the transfer window. Paper Round’s view: United desperately need to bring in a midfielder who can take over from Paul Pogba and cover for the absence of Scott McTominay, and the recent injury to Marcus Rashford has raised the need for attacking support too.
Chinandega need all three points to secure Playoffs place but Esteli are 10 points ahead of them and has excellent head to head record. Chinandega lost three of the last five matches and has one win and one defeat in the last two home matches. On the other hand Esteli just lost one of the last seven Games in the League and has One Win, One Draw and a Defeat in last three away matches. Esteli Defeated Chinandega in all the last four head to head matches and Scored four or More Goals in last three. So Esteli is likely to win .
Thiem is regarded as a clay court specialist, while Alexander Zverev has had success in plenty of tennis tournaments but not in Grand Slam events. This is the fifth time that Thiem has reached a Grand Slam semi-final but three of them has been at the French Open. Before this week, his only other Grand Slam quarter final had been at the 2018 US Open.
They don't come saltier than this. Barcelona had a stinky season that year and finished 18 points off the top. To really rub their noses in it, they were rolled over 4-1 at the Bernabeu on the day. One to forget for the Catalan lads. Oh - and, just as an extra spicy side to that story - when the tables were turned in 2018, Real refused to repay the favour. That's gratitude hey. There you go - happens to the best of us.
This will be the easiest money from all duels in this round from all matches in Belarusian Reserve league, so I will bet on goals, what is for me very real. So, Vitebsk Reserves is interesting team who is believe it, or not, played in last five matches with even four goals or more than that. In that period, this team is played 3-3, 4-0, 4-0, 4-1 and even 5-4. Of course, after this impressive series of results, it is clear that this duel will be similar. Dinamo Brest Reserves, will also score here at least one goal, probably and two.
Three consecutive defeats before the break put Frankfurt boss Adi Hutter under pressure to turn things around. However, there weren't any signs of an improvement upon their return to the pitch when they were battered in a 3-1 defeat to Gladbach. That scoreline isn't a true reflection on how dominant Gladbach were in that fixture, a late Andre Silva consolation arriving long after the game had been sewn up.
We will resolve these issues between us without external pressure. Ancelotti also insisted that Napoli would recover from a run which has seen them drop to seventh in Serie A table -- far removed from their usual role as the main challengers to Juventus. This is a healthy environment, especially in the dressing-room, with everyone determined to get out of this moment," he said.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in Cheltenham’s favour. The visitors have outperformed their hosts so far this season and many of their recent matches have produced under 2.5 goals. Cheltenham might not score many on the road but they don’t concede many either, which is why we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0.
