He is really good at connecting with the big egos and finds a way like Zinedine Zidane. He likes to work with difficult presidents; Silvio Berlusconi, Abramovich, Florentino Perez, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, De Laurentiis, he likes them all. Rzouki adds: "He has this desire to work with experienced professionals, he is not really there to motivate you to play this game. He feels that should be your job and you should know how to do it already.

The tiny Basque side, who have the smallest stadium in La Liga, took the lead in the 10th minute when Esteban Burgos stabbed home from close range at the far post after Atletico failed to properly defend a corner.

Second-placed Marseille, who lost to Nantes two weeks ago, went ahead with goals by Morgan Sanson and Dimitri Payet but conceded the draw in stoppage time when Saman Ghoddos netted the equaliser shortly after Serhou Guirassy had reduced the arrears.

A young Matt Busby at Manchester City1928: He is scouted playing for Stirlingshire junior club Denny Hibernian and is offered a contract by Manchester City for £5 per week. I had a form of complex at the time. I think it was an inferiority complex. I thought the first-team players were gods and during this spell I didn't do too well probably for the best part of a year and a half. One Sunday night, I had my case packed and thought 'I must get out of here'.
It should obviously have been at the Cottage," Grant told BBC Sport. But I don't think it was actually filmed at the Emirates. I think we faked it - movie magic. Grant sat next to then England manager Fabio Capello when Fulham played Manchester United in 2010. His best moment as a Fulham fan came when they beat Juventus 4-1 in the Europa League in 2008. I still relive that moment when I can't sleep," he said.

This meant Solskjaer's side had over two weeks to sign a replacement. What exactly were the club doing during that fortnight? The replacement ended up being a loan move for a 30-year-old striker who has been playing in China since 2017. No offence to either Ighalo or Murray, but United should be making moves for elite-level forwards.
She played out the remainder of the match. It is vital that there is enough time in a dressing room for medical staff to make a thorough assessment if a player has a concussion, and for players to honestly evaluate how they feel,” Clout said. It is really difficult to make that call when you are on the pitch surrounded by people telling you to continue.
Knockout football is the harshest of beasts and has made many in the pantheon of football managerial greats look all the more human, but not the big-stage firebrand that is Diego Simeone. The Argentine has steered his Atletico side to two Champions League finals and one semi-final in the last six seasons.

The Premier League is expected to reiterate its commitment to completing the season in Thursday's emergency board meeting held via conference call. All games have been postponed until at least 4 April because of coronavirus.

The postponement of Euro 2020 has opened up a window for domestic leagues to be completed by the end of June.
What has been impressive about Atalanta on the road is the fact that they've scored so many goals, notching 19 times in eight games, which is ten more than they've conceded.

Having gone through different experiences throughout my life and in my career - people telling me I was not good enough or not big enough or not fast enough or whatever it may be for Sunderland, Liverpool, England - I've always had questions marks. As you get older, you just use it in a different way. Now I look for the criticism because it gives me the extra motivation to prove people wrong.

After suffering long-term injuries on New Year's Day, the return of first-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton and striker Wesley will lessen the need for major reinforcements in those positions. Norwich: Keeping the kidsWith relegation looking likely, the Canaries' main task in the transfer window will be preventing their crop of exciting young prospects from being plucked away by bigger clubs. Like Aston Villa counterpart Smith, Daniel Farke may choose to add some experience to go along with such potential, with only midfielder Kenny McLean playing more than 50% of minutes among the players at their peak.

Julien Stéphan's Rennes side have been in a poor run of form recently with defeats coming against Dijon (1-2) and Celtic (1-3) in recent weeks to pile the pressure onto the team. However, captain Damien Da Silva's injury time winner on Sunday against Saint-Étienne could give them a new lease of life as they travel to the east of France. Despite some gloomy results in the Europa League, Rennes have actually won three of their last four games in Ligue 1, but each of them have come at home, so they will need to make some improvements on the road.
