Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario out for ‘months’ with broken ankle

Guglielmo Vicario of Tottenham Hotspur celebrates the 0-4 win during the Premier League match between Manchester City FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC at Etihad Stadium on November 23, 2024 in Manchester, England. Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario faces "months" on the sidelines after breaking his ankle in Saturday's 4-0 win at Manchester City, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said. The Italy international needed treatment after a first-half collision with City winger Savinho at the Etihad but was able to finish the game.

Guardiola responds to England job speculation with intriguing remark

Pep Guardiola has left the door open to one day become manager of England after suggesting “anything can happen” in his future. Guardiola’s contract with Manchester City runs out at the end of the season, adding to the uncertainty around the four-in-a-row champions amid a legal case brought on by the Premier League alleging more than 100 financial breaches, which City deny. ITV pundit Roy Keane suggested England should “go for Pep” while interim manager Lee Carsley admitted: “The job deserves a world-class coach that has won trophies and has been there and done it.” Guardiola recently stressed his love for City is “deep” and has not ruled out signing an extension, but has yet to make any definitive decisions amid links to succeeding Gareth Southgate as permanent England manager. “Leaving C...

Bayern Munich delighted with João Palhinha

After a drawn out saga that lasted several transfer windows, Portuguese midfielder João Palhinha finally made his dream move to Bayern Munich this summer. But life in Bavaria has not gotten off to a fast start. Palhinha is adjusting and adapting but so far still making his way into head coach Vincent Kompany’s side. That does not mean Bayern is any less thrilled to have gotten its man, though — nor that Palhinha will not get his chances. “We are very, very happy that we have Palhinha,” sporting director Christoph Freud said in comments captured by Az journalist Maximilian Koch (via @iMiaSanMia). “We will need him. We have a lot of games. When you see the intensity we play with, we need a really good squad. He’s staying positive and training well. It’s a new language, a new country, his fi...
