Former AC Milan sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli has claimed that the Rossoneri’s current problems stem from sacking Stefano Pioli and not replacing him well enough. Speaking during an interview with Libero (via Calciomercato.com), the now-Padova director explained that he can identify two reasons for Milan making such a poor start to the season.

Newey, who has confirmed he will join Aston Martin next year, announced he would leave his role as Red Bull’s chief technical officer in May and has been phased out of work on the team’s Formula 1 car since. Verstappen won four of the five races this year while Newey was still involved, but the reigning champion’s advantage relative to rivals McLaren narrowed significantly at the Miami Grand Prix in May and has been overturned in the second half of the year.…
The Orioles entered their series finale against the Red Sox on Wednesday hoping to build off the momentum of an uplifting Tuesday night victory. Instead, all-too-familiar offensive woes resurfaced once again and Keegan Akin unraveled in the 10th inning to spoil a strong performance by starting pitcher Dean Kremer in a 5-3 loss. “I thought we were really unlucky offensively the last third of the game,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “I thought we hit a lot of balls hard.
