Newcastle United next manager: Unai Emery favourite to replace Steve Bruce
Newcastle United sacked Steve Bruce last month after a series of miserable performances in the Premier League and the Magpies are thought to be keen on appointing the former Arsenal manager Unai Emery as his replacement. The Premier League club recently underwent a £300 million takeover and the new Saudi owners are looking to bring in a top-quality manager. The new owners are thought to be keen on improving the playing squad as well. Newcastle have made a disastrous start to their Premier League campaign and they are currently 19th in the league table with six defeats and four draws in 10 league matches. A club of their stature will be expected to perform a lot better and the new owners cannot afford to let Newcastle go back down to the championship this season. The Magpies are...

Newcastle United next manager: Roberto Martínez, Steven Gerrard and Unai Emery are the leading contenders
Newcastle United are still looking for potential replacements for manager Steve Bruce and the Times are reporting that Roberto Martinez, Steven Gerrard and Unai Emery are currently the leading contenders.

Arteta vs Emery: Arsenal boss under the cosh as stats expose progress myth
Arsenal have had another disappointing Premier League season, currently languishing in ninth spot, 10 points adrift of the Champions League places. There has been criticism from some fans towards manager Mikel Arteta while others believe that progress has been made. We look into how Arteta has fared when compared to his predecessor Unai Emery after 51 league games into their respective careers with the club. The Gunners have scored 16 fewer goals since Arteta took over in December 2019, but they have been unfortunate, hitting the woodwork on 15 more occasions. In general play, Emery’s team also had the upper side in terms of possession, but there has been more patience in the build-up play under Arteta. While the high pressing has been evident, the passing has also been more slow and intri...
IFFHS: Diego Simeone the best club coach of the decade
Diego Simeone’s consistency at Atletico Madrid has been rewarded. The International Federation of Football and History Stats (IFFHS) have put the Argentine ahead of managers like Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp. This will be talked about for a while. The IFFHS have voted Cholo Simeone as the best coach of the latest decade (2011-20). Ahead of Pep Guardiola (Man City) and Champions League winners like Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool) and Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid), who win three straight Champions Leagues, the IFFHS have gone for the Argentine’s consistency. After arriving at Atletico in 2011, he took a struggling Atleti to Champions League regulars. He has won 203 matches, drawn 118 and lost 82, as well as seven titles. A La Liga title, a Copa del Rey, two Europa Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups and...
Bernd Leno: Arsenal ‘don’t have time’ to feel sorry for themselves
Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno says there is no time for the players to feel sorry for themselves after an eighth Premier League defeat of the season ramped up the pressure on manager Mikel Arteta. Sunday is an unhappy first anniversary for the Gunners boss as he reflects on a 2-1 reverse at Everton that extended their winless run to seven league matches and left them just four points above the Premier League’s bottom three. “A lot of things are going wrong for us but we don’t have time to feel sorry for ourselves, we have to fight for every ball, for our team-mates,” said Leno. “Now the confidence is not at the top level but the only thing that can be said is we should stick together and come out of this situation.” The 28-year-old German said Arsenal showed a good attitude in the second h...

After taking over from Unai Emery midway through the 2019-20 campaign, Pep Guardiola’s former assistant at Manchester City has led the Gunners to FA Cup and Community Shield glory. While there has previously been speculation about the future of their France international forward, he has been happy to decisively push that to one side. “I’m at Arsenal. I signed a five-year contract to improve and win titles. I’ve got two years left and I’m determined to stay,” he said to L’Equipe. When asked if that is his final decision, he replied: “From me, yes.” Meanwhile, the 29-year-old has insisted that he knows nothing about links to the likes of Juventus and Atlet...
