[ad_1] Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier has been placed under protection after he received numerous death threats in the aftermath of allegations of racism against him. Galtier has been accused of both racism and Islamophobia following the leak of an email allegedly from former Nice director Julien Fournier, in which he is reported to have voiced concerns about working with Galtier at Nice because of his attitude towards black and Muslim players. Importantly, Galtier has strongly denied all the allegations against him and his lawyer, Olivier Martin, has confirmed an intention to pursue legal action against the ‘insulting and defamatory remarks’.

Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani and British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe have been the two leading bidders to take the club out of the hands of the Glazer family. But Zilliacus later also went public with his interest, although he was never seen as a contender in the same way, having called upon the two other parties to unite with him. The Finn, who has done most of his public communicating via Twitter,Read More →

[ad_1] AC Milan will take a slender aggregate lead into the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Napoli after securing a narrow 1-0 win at San Siro on Wednesday, already a second victory over their Serie A rivals this month. Ismael Bennacer scored the only goal of the game against the run of play in the first half, with Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan emerging as a hero and Napoli stung by a red card shown to Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa when they were in the ascendancy looking for an equaliser. Hoping to avenge a surprising 4-0 thrashing by Milan only 10 days earlier, NapoliRead More →

[ad_1] Lyon Feminin are set to have a new majority owner in the shape of American businesswoman Michele Kang by the end of the season, with a formal announcement perhaps sooner.

[ad_1] Sadio Mane is reported to have hit Bayern Munich teammate Leroy Sane in the face during a furious dressing room row following Tuesday’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League. Sane started the game against his former side, with Mane coming off the bench for the final 20 minutes, but neither could prevent Bayern from falling to a huge loss which sees them all but eliminated from the Champions League ahead of the second leg of their quarter-final tie. Late in the game, BILD state that Sane and Mane had a verbal disagreement on the pitch when a move broke down, andRead More →

[ad_1] England will initially base themselves at the Sunshine Coast Resort just over 100km north of Brisbane on Australia’s east coast when they head out to this summer’s Women’s World Cup.

[ad_1] England’s friendlies ahead of the 2023 World Cup have shown that they’ve lost the element of surprise that made them so successful at Euro 2022. During last summer’s tactics, Sarina Wiegman’s side relied on substituions to change the game. The team started every match of the tournament with the exact same starting eleven, and Wiegman would often bring on the same subs around the hour mark: Chloe Kelly on for B*th Mead, Alessia Russo on for Ellen White, and Ella Toone on for Fran Kirby. These substitutions, more often than not, changed the game, allowing England to challenge their opponents tactically, and use freshRead More →
