Paulo Fonseca
Steven Gerrard is Aston Villa’s first choice to become new manager
Aston Villa are currently without a manager after they sacked Dean Smith from his position last week. Smith was dismissed last Sunday after the Lions’ 1-0 defeat against Southampton. That was their fifth consecutive Premier League defeat under the English boss, which left them just two points above the relegation zone. The Birmingham based side lost Jack Grealish to Manchester City in the summer but they also managed to bring in Emi Buendia, Leon Bailey and Danny Ings. They made a good start to the 2021-22 season, claiming victories over Everton and Manchester United. But following their win at Old Trafford, their form dropped off dramatically as the Lions lost all their subsequent five matches in the top-flight. Smith was relieved of his duties at Villa...
Aston Villa make informal contact with Paulo Fonseca to replace Smith
Dean Smith is currently under huge pressure at Aston Villa as the club is struggling in the Premier League. The Lions have lost their last four league matches and are currently in the 15th spot with just three points above the relegation zone. The English boss is said to be on borrowed time at Villa Park as they are exploring new candidates to replace him. According to a report from the Daily Mail, the Birmingham based side have made informal contact with Paulo Fonseca who was previously the manager at Roma. Smith’s side have lost six matches so far this campaign, with their last weekend’s 4-1 defeat coming against West Ham at Villa Park. They now will visit Southampton on Friday before the start of the international break. Fonsec...

Nuno Espirito Santo is reportedly on the brink of getting sacked as manager of Tottenham Hotspur.

Now the 48-year-old is back under consideration,...

Eddie Howe is one of the three leading candidates for becoming the next manager at Newcastle United, according to 90MIN.

The other two names are Paulo Fonseca and Lucien Favre who all have reportedly held talks with the Premier League outfit last week.

Cristiano Ronaldo double earns 10-man Juventus a draw
Cristiano Ronaldo twice netted an equaliser to give Juventus a 2-2 draw away at Roma on Sunday evening. A cagey opening period to the game was finally blown open on 31 minutes when the home side scored from the penalty spot. It was Jordan Veretout who netted from 12 yards to give Paulo Fonseca’s men the lead. But just before half time the Old Lady were back level, Cristiano Ronaldo scoring his own penalty after a handball inside the area. Immediately after that though, Roma got themselves back in front after a stunning counter-attack that was finished by Veretout. Andrea Pirlo’s side then went down to 10 men as Adrien Rabiot was sent off for a late challenge which saw him earn a second yellow card. As has become customary for the Bianconeri though, it was Ronaldo who saved the day, towerin...
