Covic lasted on 12 league matches as his team, who have lost their last four league matches, are currently in 15th place, level on points with 16th Fortuna Duesseldorf who are on the relegation playoff spot. Klinsmann, whose most recent appointment was United States head coach from 2011 to 2016, last worked in the Bundesliga during a hapless spell at Bayern Munich that lasted less than a season in 2008-9.
Budge was once of the view that 42 senior clubs was too many for Scotland. You're looking at half that number," she said in 2016. Now she'll be arguing for a model that will likely increase the number of senior clubs to 44. When crisis hits, expedience rules. Perhaps we're at a point now where clubs can set aside their own personal agendas and vote for a reconstruction model that would undo the injustice perpetrated on Partick Thistle, but we'd be as well holding on to our scepticism for now.
United won two consecutive Premier League games after their 2-0 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road before Christmas. Video - The battle for Lautaro Martinez – Euro Papers01:41 He then expressed his pleasure with the side for getting back to winning ways, saying: “Now they’ve responded to the defeat against Watford, I put a challenge to them and they’ve put my words to shame so I’m very happy with them”.
But BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson is backing Solskjaer's side to go all the way and win at Wembley in the final on 1 August. It is United for the FA Cup," said Lawro. They are playing well and scoring goals. They are in the race for the top four in the Premier League too but Solskjaer wants to win things, so he will not field a weakened team in the FA Cup. Lawro is pitting his wits against a different guest for each round of this season's FA Cup, and his opponent this time is Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer co-host Alex Horne.
Not only are Reims in good form, but they boast excellent home form, losing none of their last six at Stade Auguste-Delaune, three of which they've won. During that time, they've kept four clean sheets and have conceded a total of just three goals.

No-one was making anything happen, and it helped the opposition by slowing the game down. I still think Spurs will beat Bournemouth, though. After seeing them lose five in a row, it is hard to back Bournemouth to get anything, anywhere, at the moment. Lawro's prediction: 0-2Joel's prediction: Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe was being talked about as a future Arsenal manager at one point, but it is not going well for him at the moment.
Japan, finalists at the two previous World Cups, went out in the group stage after losses to two European sides but Kumagai says progress is being made. I think the level of women's football in Asia is growing, especially since I made my debut," she said. You can see this particularly in the youth tournaments where the last four finals you always see an Asian team playing on the world stage.
Jack Ross continued his winning start as Hibernian manager with a 2-1 Scottish Premiership victory against former club St Mirren in Paisley. After beating Motherwell on Saturday in Ross' first game, the Easter Road side led through Christian Doidge's fifth goal in three games. Stevie Mallan converted a second-half penalty to double the advantage as St Mirren struggled to create chances. Junior Morias did net in stoppage-time but it was mere consolation.

We remain totally committed to tackling racism. Corriere dello Sport defended the "innocent" headline in a comment piece on its website. It was only a way to celebrate diversity," the newspaper said. Earlier on Thursday, Roma's chief operating officer Francesco Calvo said he did not think the headline was a "clear case" of racism, but called on people in positions of authority - including clubs, players and media - to be more careful with the language they choose.
Di Maria cut back inside the area and beat Anthony Lopes with a low shot at the near post to put the hosts ahead in the 22nd minute. Mbappe made it 2-0 seven minutes before halftime by flicking the ball past Lopes from Thomas Meunier's cross. It was a harsh reality check for Lyon, who had started the match with 16-year-old Rayan Cherki livening up proceedings on the right flank.
The scorer of that goal, Nketiah, has had a circuitous route to the Arsenal first team this season, via a frustrating loan spell at Leeds, but he is now showing why he has been likened to Ian Wright, and his finish was one that the Gunners' leading all-time goalscorer would have been proud of. What more can be said about Aubameyang? He was Arsenal's brightest light during recent difficult times and is now thriving as the team strives to lift itself to his standards.
Two goals for Southampton turned the game on its head and a likely home defeat turned into their first home league win of the season. Faced with a home game against another side in the relegation zone, Southampton will hope they can get a win and go ahead of Everton who look likely to lose away at Liverpool in midweek.
And the club are actively planning to make a huge bid for him in the summer. Paper Round’s view: Van Dijk has spent most of his career in Britain and has already won the Champions League with Liverpool. Winning the Premier League would represent perhaps the peak of his career, and while it would be a shock to see him leave at the top of his game, the 28-year-old Dutchman may want to experience football in a new league.
Kolding and Roskilde will face each other in the upcoming match in the First division in Denmark. Kolding this season have the following results: 10W, 5D and 9L. Meanwhile Roskilde have 6W, 3D and 15L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
In all honesty, this isn't the most appealing fixture from a betting point of view, though those looking to get involved can try 'Liverpool to Score Over 2.5 Goals'. Monterrey tend to concede goals; they've kept just one clean sheet in their last five. Moreover, they fact that they struggled to contain Al Sadd just a few days ago, conceding twice on route to a narrow win, doesn't bode well ahead of a match against a side with such creativity and firepower, and let's face it, Liverpool have notched three against better teams this season.
The trouble is that all that work has been overshadowed by a public spat over money between the PFA and the Premier League and its clubs, at a time when so many workers and businesses are feeling the impact of the lockdown. On Wednesday, a group of Premier League players announced a 'Players Together' charity initiative to help raise funds for NHS related causes, but the reputational damage may be hard to recover from.

We'll come through this together. Coronavirus information - what should I do?Coronavirus and sport - timelineAll elite football in Britain has been suspended until at least 3 April as a result of the pandemic and Arteta added in his tweet: "Well done [the] Premier League for making the right decisions.

Pogba feels at home in Italy," he is quoted as saying by the Guardian. Italy is like his second home or family, same for [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic. That’s why Paul would like to come back to Juventus.

The Spaniard is through to the last sixteen of the Australian Open and takes on ninth seeded Kiki Bertens for a place in the quarter finals. Garbine Muguruza has slipped to number 32 in the world rankings but was at the top of that list just three years ago and in the top two in 2018. Last year saw her lose in the first round at both Wimbledon and the US Open but she reached the last sixteen here.
Here we have an Israeli league match in the relegation group where the Netanya host Bnei Yehuda team. The host is in 4th place in the group and collected a total number of 34 points and the guests are the leaders with 38 points. The guests have won here in the last 5 away games, so I expect they will win. We Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv's team can take points against their opponent of the day. The last victory of the hosts dates back to 2017. Advantage for visitors. These two teams are currently fairly confident since they have almost 10 points more than the first team in the relegation zone. Therefore, I don't expect an exciting game.
Behind the headlines of Beckham's lucrative contract with the Galaxy lay a clause that gave the former Manchester United midfielder the option to buy an MLS franchise at a reduced rate in the future. Beckham has exercised that option and Inter Miami is that franchise. In the shape of its owner the club already has a unique selling point which could attract some of the game's biggest names in the future.
April 1 (Reuters) - Talks between the Premier League and the PFA players union over potential wage cuts or deferrals, due to the coronavirus stoppage, failed to reach an agreement on Wednesday, the organisations said in a joint statement. Senior representatives from the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), the Premier League, the EFL (Football League) and the League Managers Association (LMA) discussed several issues arising from the pandemic and said they would continue talks.
If we (the National League) follow the EFL, which is what I understand we've been waiting for, I'm guessing we'll be crowned champions and will hopefully be invited to take Bury's place. Barrow led the fifth tier by four points, with nine games left, when the league was halted because of coronavirus in March. The National League had been waiting on the EFL to announce an outcome before deciding on promotion and relegation.
However Wolves' league position could still be enough to claim a Europa League place for next season, should the Blues beat Arsenal in the FA Cup final next month.

two teams which are on the middle of the table right now but I m very confident that burton Albion has much higher ambitions to come closer to the playoff and after 4 games without a win I think it is finally time for them to win because at home they are much much stronger than on the road and on the other side oxford is also much better on the home and after defeat 4-0 from posh I don't see them winning this game and also I m pretty confident burton Albion will win so I recommend this to anyone!
Den Haag is team who is second bottom at moment and that is relegation place as you already know. They had new manager and that is well known also, Alan Pardew who had been manager in many England teams in past few years. His word we already can see as Den Haag won against Hoffenheim 2:1 during the break. So this team must improve and today they are in must win situation. Stadium will be full, and visitors are the worst team away from home with score 1-1-7 and 27 goals conceded in this 9 away games what is average 3 per game. So this should be home win IMO. Good luck !!!

Watford is in amazing form right now and have won all 3 of their home matches under their new coach Nigel Pearson. He took took over and changed the body language of the team wholly. Watford have also won their last 7 FA Cup matches in front of their own fans. In contrast, Tranmere is in very bad form anf coming from a defeat against Coventry by 4-1 goals. They were also thrashed 7-0 by Tottenham at this stage of the competition last year and this is likely to be a similarly one-sided contest. I expect Watford to score at least 3 goals.
Slavia Prague won the title after winning last round 1-0 at home against 2nd placed Plzen, so all pressure is off not that they had any against Jablonec when they hosted them during the ending of the normal season in the league as they easily scored 5 goals and kept a clean sheet as well totally dominating the entire game and finding it easy to score goal after goal against a Jablonec side which at times does not really know how to defend against waves of attacks.
Footballers should 'take a knee' - Kick It Out chairView more on twitterMinneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who kneeled on Floyd's neck, has been charged with his murder.

A large number of footballers and clubs are marking 'Blackout Tuesday', a day of reflection and protest in the wake of Floyd's death.
Timo Werner: brilliant footballer, natural goalscorer, terrible poker player. At least, that's the impression we got following his attempts not to appear too excited about being linked with Liverpool. The 23-year-old RB Leipzig striker scored the only goal as his side beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. It was his 26th goal of the season and, after Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp recently described him as a very good player, Werner was asked how he felt to be linked with the Reds.

And even better, somewhere in northern Italy, a bronzed man doing his 2,000th sit-up of the day is absolutely fuming, something we can all get behind and enjoy. West Ham offer entirely inadequate response to homophobia As anyone who attends Chelsea games even semi-regularly will know, they are routinely subjected to homophobic chants from opposition fans.
Dordrecht and Eindhoven FC will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie. Dordrecht this season have the following results: 2W, 6D and 14L. Meanwhile Eindhoven FC have 7W, 4D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
in this game I think it is much smarter to go for this option both to score than to risk trying to predict who can be the winner in this match and that is because aue on one side is third best home team in the league but overall they are on the middle and on the other hand sandhausen is very close to the relegation zone and since their defense is very bad the only way to avoid defeat in this one is to attack so I think both will score a goal and 1-1 could be correct score at the end
Both teams are struggling at present both for points and goals. Dinamo Minsk are in the relegation zone and have just one win this season. That sole win came at home but they've also been defeated on home soil by Rukh Brest. Neman Grodno have also had just the one league win this season and their four games have seen just five goals scored. A bet on under 2.5 goals is the tip for this game.
