Declan Rice célèbre avec le trophée Europa Conference League
Declan Rice est le premier capitaine de West Ham à remporter un trophée européen depuis que l’Anglais Bobby Moore a remporté la Coupe des vainqueurs de coupe en 1965.

Declan Rice dit qu’il aime jouer pour West Ham – au milieu des spéculations, il aurait pu jouer son dernier match pour le club après les avoir aidés à mettre fin à une attente de 43 ans pour un trophée majeur.

Le milieu de terrain anglais de 24 ans a été fortement liée à un déménagement du stade de Londres.

“En ce moment, il y a beaucoup de spéculations sur mon avenir”, a déclaré Rice à BT Sport après avoir remporté son premier trophée majeur.

“Il y a de l’intérêt d’autres clubs mais finalement il me reste encore deux ans à West Ham.

“J’aime ce club et j’aime jouer pour ce club.”

Rice a ajouté: “Mon objectif est de jouer pour West Ham en ce moment. Je suis capitaine de ce club et je ne saurais trop parler de cet endroit. Voyons ce qui se passe. Attendons et voyons. Qui sait?”

Avant leur victoire en demi-finale retour de la Ligue de conférence Europa à l’AZ Alkmaar, le manager de West Ham, David Moyes, a déclaré il y avait “une bonne chance” Le riz partira pendant la saison de fermeture.

Rice a rejeté tous les efforts pour le faire signer une prolongation de contrat au milieu de l’intérêt de pratiquement tous les meilleurs clubs d’Angleterre.

Le contrat du milieu de terrain doit expirer en 2024, bien que les Hammers aient la possibilité de le prolonger d’une année supplémentaire.

“Je donnerais n’importe quoi pour aider ce club à gagner”

Mercredi, Rice est devenu le premier capitaine de West Ham à remporter un trophée européen depuis que l’Anglais Bobby Moore a remporté la Coupe des vainqueurs de coupe en 1965.

En soulevant de l’argenterie, il a également imité le grand club Billy Bonds, qui a mené les Hammers à la FA Cup en 1975 et 1980.

“Pour être même dans cette conversation [alongside Moore and Bonds] est fou », a ajouté Rice.

“J’ai donné mon cœur à jouer pour ce club au cours des six dernières années. Je donnerais n’importe quoi pour aider ce club à gagner. Nous n’avons pas eu la tâche facile. Nous avons fait face à la relégation.

“Pour gagner maintenant, pour être dans cette catégorie, je ne veux pas trop en dire. Je serai trop excité.”

Leicester City: Willie Kirk sacked after allegation of relationship with player

Leicester City manager Willie Kirk speaks to his players
Willie Kirk, who was appointed as Leicester manager in 2022, was suspended by the WSL club on 9 March this year

Leicester City have sacked manager Willie Kirk following an investigation into an allegation he had a relationship with a player.

Kirk, 45, was suspended by the Women’s Super League club earlier this month to “assist with an internal process”.

The Scottish boss has not been on the touchline for the past three games.

“Willie was determined to have breached the team’s code of conduct to a degree that makes his position untenable,” Leicester said in a statement.

Following Kirk’s suspension, assistant manager Jennifer Foster and first-team coach Stephen Kirby took charge for the Women’s FA Cup quarter-final at Liverpool on 9 March.

The Foxes won 2-0 to reach the last four of the competition for the first time.

Leicester have lost the two matches they have played since, being beaten by Tottenham and Brighton in the WSL.

Foster and Kirby will continue to lead the team while Leicester begin the search for a new permanent manager.

Former Everton manager Kirk joined the Women’s Super League club in the summer of 2022, initially as a director of football before succeeding Lydia Bedford as boss that November.

Last season he guided Leicester from the bottom of the WSL to safety and they were seventh in the table this season when he was suspended.

Leicester said the code of conduct which Kirk breached was “established and implemented” before the 2023-24 season.

“The code forms part of the club’s ongoing commitment to professionalising the women’s game since the takeover of LCFC Women in 2020, promoting a performance-led culture among players, coaches and technical staff,” Leicester added.

Their decision, announced on Thursday, comes amid scrutiny of player-coach relationships in women’s football.

In February, former Leicester manager Jonathan Morgan was sacked by Sheffield United after “new information came to light about his conduct” before he joined the club.

Morgan’s former management agency ended their relationship with him and said in a statement it had “learnt new information regarding Jonathan Morgan and a relationship with a player”.

Xabi Alonso: Bayern Munich chief Uli Hoeness says appointing Spaniard is ‘probably impossible’

Xabi Alonso
Leverkusen have won 33 and drawn five of their matches this season

Bringing Xabi Alonso to Bayern Munich this summer is “probably impossible”, says the club’s honorary president Uli Hoeness.

Bayer Leverkusen manager Alonso, 42, is a target of Bayern’s to replace Thomas Tuchel when he leaves in the summer.

The Spaniard has also been strongly linked with replacing Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool but Hoeness says he will likely stay at Leverkusen.

“We’ll have to see if we can do it this year,” he said.

“It will be difficult, if not probably impossible.”

In his second year as a manager, Alonso is on the brink of leading Leverkusen to their first German Bundesliga title.

They are 10 points clear of champions Bayern with eight games remaining and have not lost in all competitions.

As well Liverpool and Bayern, Alonso has also been linked with Real Madrid, another of his former clubs from his playing career.

“[Alonso] is more inclined to stay at Bayer Leverkusen in view of their current successes, because he would not want to leave them behind,” Hoeness said.

“Let’s say if he had two or three more years of success, it would probably be easier to bring him out of there.”

Crawford Allan: Livingston’s David Martindale says abuse of referee chief ‘despicable’

SFA head of referees Crawford Allan
David Martindale thinks the abuse will have played a part in Crawford Allan’s decision to leave

Outgoing Scottish FA head of referees Crawford Allan has endured “despicable” levels of abuse, according to Livingston manager David Martindale.

Allan has borne the brunt of the criticism following a string of controversies amid the implementation of VAR over the past 18 months.

And the 56-year-old is stepping down at the end of this season to “pursue new opportunities”.

“I think Crawford’s a really good guy,” Martindale said.

“I think the way the game’s going, the abuse that players, officials, myself take – there’s a tipping point.

“I think the abuse Crawford has received for doing his job is despicable, I don’t agree with it.

“Social media is taking over the world. Every decision that happens on a Saturday or a midweek deflects on to Crawford and for me that’s really unfair.”

SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell alluded to “unsustainable pressure on match officials and VAR operators” and a “convenient blame culture” when Allan’s departure was announced.

Martindale believes the backlash against Allan during the rollout of VAR “played a part in Crawford’s decision”.

“Am I surprised he’s leaving the position? No,” said the Livi boss. “I think it’s an extremely difficult job to do with the scrutiny around social media on every single decision and then the pressure cooker that is Scottish football.

“It’s become a very difficult job and I said the same about the compliance officer role. I think you’ve got to be a wee bit sadistic to take a job like that because you’re in a no-win situation really.

“You’re never pleasing the masses, so it’s very difficult. I don’t know where it’s going to end with social media, the abuse, the scrutiny it brings on people doing their jobs – and I include Crawford in that.”

Katrina Gorry in action for West Ham United
Katrina Gorry has 105 caps for Australia

West Ham United midfielder Katrina Gorry will miss the remainder of the Women’s Super League season with an ankle injury.

Gorry sustained the injury in the 2-0 defeat by Chelsea last Sunday and left the stadium on crutches.

The 31-year-old requires surgery for the issue and her place in Australia’s Olympic squad is now in doubt.

Gorry, who has 105 caps for her country, says her rehabilitation is her “next challenge”.

The women’s football tournament at the Paris Olympics begins on 24 August.

Australia are already likely to be without captain Sam Kerr for the tournament after the Chelsea forward ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in January.

“Unfortunately my season with @Westhamwomen has been cut short,” Gorry wrote on Instagram.”I’ve spent the last few days sitting with my emotions and now it’s time to face this next challenge and trust in my body to come back stronger and more in love with the game.”

West Ham are 11th in the WSL and have picked up just four points from their past five matches.

Nottingham Forest: Forget Premier League points deduction, says Nuno Espirito Santo

Published

on

Nuno Espirito Santo has told his Nottingham Forest players to “forget about” the club’s points deduction for breaking financial rules and focus on their battle to avoid relegation.

They are now 18th, one point behind 17th-placed Luton, but have appealed against the decision.

“Who are we to say that is fair or unfair?” manager Nuno said.

“We have to focus on what we have to do, and what we have to do is on the pitch. This is the message: forget about everything and focus on our tasks so we get out of this situation.”

Forest play Crystal Palace at home on Saturday in their first match since the points deduction.

They are the second top-flight team to be punished for PSR breaches after Everton were penalised 10 points in November, which was reduced to six on appeal.

The Toffees, who are 16th and four points clear of Forest, are still awaiting the verdict on a second alleged breach of rules.

Luton winger Andros Townsend said uncertainty created by the points deductions “makes a mockery” of the top flight.

Nuno remains full of belief that his side will still stay up.

“The way we work, the way we play, the togetherness, the commitment of the players – I see it every day and that’s why I’m so confident,” Nuno said.

“It’s in our hands, it’s up to us to reverse the situation and that is to get points on the pitch and this is what we’re going to try on Saturday.

“What we have to do is stick together, everyone at the club, stick together – the back-up of our fans is going to be huge for us – and starting on Saturday at the City Ground, play football and win games.”

Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers to sit out one game but can return for Rangers derby after ban

Published

on

Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers has been given a one-match touchline ban with another suspended, which means he will not miss the forthcoming Old Firm derby.

The Celtic manager complained of “incompetence” and “really poor officiating” in a 2-0 loss away to Hearts earlier this month.

Reviews led to Yang Hyun-jun’s yellow card being upgraded to red and Tomoki Iwata conceding a penalty.

Celtic later had their appeal against Yang’s dismissal rejected.

Rodgers has five days to decide whether to appeal against his own punishment.

During his BBC interview at Tynecastle, Rodgers twice mentioned video assistant referee John Beaton by name, saying VAR interventions meant the game was “refereed outside the field”.

The ruling means the Northern Irishman will be banned from the dugout for Sunday’s trip to Livingston but will be able to return as the defending Scottish champions visit Ibrox for their 7 April city derby against title rivals Rangers.

As well as being missing from dugout against the side sitting bottom of the Premiership, Rodgers will not be allowed access to the dressing room an hour prior to kick-off, or at half-time, and will only be given access 15 minutes after full-time.

The further one-match ban will only come into play should he further breach Scottish FA rules on making comments about the performance of match officials during games.

Un légende français lâche une bombe sur Mbappé : “Il pourrait repousser le Real et aller à…”

Published

on

Un légende français a surpris tout le monde avec ses dernières déclarations.

L’affaire Mbappé continue de faire couler beaucoup d’encre, et ce n’est pas près de s’arrêter dans les prochaines semaines. Le monde du football attend avec impatience que l’attaquant parisien officialise son avenir.

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi et l’émir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani sont clairement préoccupés par la situation. Ils ne comprennent toujours pas ce qui s’est passé, même si peu de gens osent imaginer un avenir autre que “merengue” pour le natif de Bondy.

L’un d’eux est Robert Pirès, qui a été lié au club madrilène par le passé, sans jamais porter le maillot du Real Madrid, ce dont le joueur de Reims se vante inexplicablement.

“Désolé, Kylian, tu n’étais pas le premier. Je suis le premier à avoir dit non au Real Madrid (rires). Je ne sais pas quelle décision il prendra, mais j’ai refusé le Real parce que j’avais deux autres options. C’est sûr que si je n’avais pas eu Arsenal et la Juve, je serais allé au Real Madrid en courant. C’est sûr”, a déclaré le champion du monde 1998 avec la France.

Mais Robert Pirès ne s’est pas arrêté là. Il a également recommandé à l’attaquant français de choisir Liverpool plutôt que le Real Madrid, ce qui n’a pas plu aux supporters du club merengue.

“A-t-il aujourd’hui une autre possibilité que le Real ? C’est la question. J’aimerais le voir à Liverpool. C’est un grand club, une famille, une bonne structure, pas de pression, des supporters calmes… Et je me dis que Mbappé-Salah peut être assez explosif (…) Je pense qu’il est capable de repousser le Real Madrid”, a conclu l’ancien joueur français.

Sandro Tonali charged by FA for alleged betting rules breaches

Published

Breaking news

Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association for alleged breaches of betting rules.

The 23-year-old is currently serving a 10-month ban issued by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) in October for breaking betting rules in Italy.

Tonali joined Newcastle from AC Milan in July for £55m.

The FA alleges Tonali broke rules by placing 50 bets on matches between 12 August and 12 October 2023.

“Newcastle United acknowledges a misconduct charge received by Sandro Tonali in respect of alleged breaches of FA Betting Rules,” the club said on Thursday.

“Sandro continues to fully comply with relevant investigations and he retains the club’s full support.”

Tonali was banned by the FIGC for betting on matches involving his teams Brescia and Milan, and Fifa later granted the Italian federation’s request to have the ban extended worldwide.

His current ban means Tonali is not eligible to play again until August and will not feature at Euro 2024.

The Italy international was also fined 20,000 euros (£17,380) and ordered to take part in an eight-month “therapeutic plan” to help “recovery from gambling addiction”.

Advertisement

Tonali had only made 12 appearances for Eddie Howe’s Newcastle side before he was banned.

The midfielder has until 5 April to respond to the FA’s charges.

L’Equipe annonce le départ de Campos du PSG : il partirait avec Mbappé et Florentino le signerait gratuitement

Published

on

L’affaire Mbappé continue de faire des vagues après que le Français a provoqué un séisme à Paris, mais aussi à Madrid, où les supporters du club blanc attendent avec impatience le dénouement de cette histoire.

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi et l’émir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani sont toujours furieux de ce qui s’est passé avec Mbappé ces derniers temps. Ils espéraient que Kylian Mbappé resterait au club pour un certain temps, ce qui ne sera finalement pas le cas.

Comme on pouvait s’y attendre, cela a déclenché une série d’événements qui font que Luis Campos est sur le point de partir, une situation impensable il y a quelques mois.

“Les chances que Luis Campos parte avec Mbappé à la fin de la saison augmentent de jour en jour. Le directeur sportif portugais a été recruté pour convaincre Mbappé de prolonger son séjour à Paris, ce qu’il n’a pas réussi à faire”, a révélé L’Equipe.

Advertisement

Florentino Pérez et José Ángel Sánchez sont donc très attentifs à cette possibilité, car ils ont toujours souhaité intégrer le Portugais à l’organigramme du Real Madrid.

Luis Campos a déjà travaillé par le passé avec le club madrilène et son président. Si le PSG le chasse du club français, Florentino pourrait le recruter à nouveau ou, du moins, utiliser ses connaissances et ses contacts pour des opérations ponctuelles.
