Then everything went wrong, the story changed dramatically and Milan was deeply affected. From those 37 seconds onwards there was a succession of disappointments and disasters, only marginally calmed by the incredible victory against Lecce. From those…
Unless there are unexpected changes of heart, at the end of this season, the paths of the Frenchman and the Rossoneri club will part ways, partly due to a contract renewal that is struggling to take off. Both parties, now fully aware of the path ahead, are said to be taking their first steps toward an eventual farewell, with the Rossoneri management starting to make moves to avoid being caught off guard later.
AC Milan are in a period of great uncertainty but from it emerges great opportunity too, with a number of crucial decisions to come soon. La Gazzetta dello Sport recall the turbulent last few days at Milan, symbolised by the saga surrounding Sergio Conceicao’s spokesperson leaking complaints to the media, which were then branded lies by the coach and he threatened legal action. In short, anything can happen this season. By now we are well beyond Murphy’s Law. Aside from the financial aspect – which in any case in the medium term will have to deal with the lack of…

Palace defended valiantly for much of the afternoon as the hosts dominated the ball, but a second-half Lauren James strike secured Chelsea a 25th win in 27 games this season and kept them on track to win a historic quadruple. Chelsea thrashed Palace 7-0 when the sides met in the Women’s Super League back in September, but this time around Sonia Bompastor’s side had to show patience as they chipped away at their opponents. James and Aggie Beever-Jones missed clear chances to score in the first-half, before the latter’s would-be opener was ruled out for offside. The home side ramped…
The England international forward burst onto the scene in 2023-24, and is enjoying an excellent sophomore season under Sonia Bompastor. When Emma Hayes departed Chelsea last summer after 12 remarkable years at the helm, it was only natural for there to be some trepidation about the club’s next chapter. As Sonia Bompastor arrived from Lyon, where she won the Champions League as a player and a coach, fans sat and wondered whether she would be the right fit. The squad, too, shaped entirely by Hayes, had a new face to impress. As Aggie Beever-Jones, the 21-year-old academy product who enjoyed…
Luis Enrique’s men sent out a message to the rest of Europe by inflicting a devastating defeat upon the team that topped the league-phase table. The Reds certainly played a lot better than they did at Parc des Princes last week, when they nicked a 1-0 win thanks to Alisson Becker’s heroics in goal and Harvey Elliott’s late winner, but the runaway Premier League leaders still weren’t good enough to see off PSG, who proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are capable of finally going all the way this season. The goal that forced extra-time, and eventually…
Max Allegri has been out of work since leaving Juventus towards the end of last season, and he hopes that his vacation will end shortly. In January, a desire to return to coaching didn’t push him towards Saudi Arabia, when Al-Ahli were looking for him. Despite the very tempting economic offer, Allegri has long had a clear idea of what he wants: to lead another top European club, preferably in Italy. He intends to do so from the start of the summer in order to plan for the 2025-26 season well. This is also why negotiations with Roma and West…
