Former AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli could face competition for a job in the Saudi Pro League from a head coach the Rossoneri were tempted to replace him with during the summer. When Pioli departed Milan, it seemed that Sergio Conceicao was the in-line replacement until the Diavolo turned to his compatriot Paulo Fonseca, and it seems he could face another Rossoneri-themed battle shortly. As Falah Sport (via Francesco Nasato on X) reports, Al Nassr are close to sacking their head coach Luis Castro. If this happens, they will be tempted to make a move for the 58-year-old coach, alternatively, they are…
Football is no stranger to collaborations when it comes to shirts, kits and fashion. Paris Saint-Germain have their link-up with Jordan, while Adidas teamed up with Pharrell Williams in 2020-21 to create bespoke Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Juventus, Arsenal and Real Madrid jerseys. Juve also had their collaboration with Adidas and skate brand Palace in 2019, and Ajax even drew on inspiration from Bob Marley for their 2021-22 third kit. Now one of Italy’s biggest soccer clubs, AC Milan, have launched their own fashion range in collaboration with Major League Baseball giants the New York Yankees. But if you’re imaging Zlatan Ibrahimovic decked out…
Theo Hernandez’s start to the 2024/25 season has been way below his regular standards, and the AC Milan star may face a drop down the France National Team pecking order, according to reports from France. During the European Championship, Theo struggled to impact games as he has done for club and country in the past. Going forward, he was not as strong, and he didn’t create much threat during the tournament. However, defensively, he was much better than he had previously been. Unfortunately, since the start of the new season, the same cannot be said. The left-back has struggled when going…
With several of his AC Milan players away on international duty, Paulo Fonseca can not be given messages from his squad in person. However, their performances away from Milanello can be telling, and the Portuguese coach has some things to take note of. It will not be known until after the Inter game whether the international break came at a good time, and perhaps, you could argue that we will know before then. As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, Fonseca has been given test results from experiments he has not tried competitively, and there are notes on certain subjects. Notes which he must…
Tijjani Reijnders and Joshua Zirkzee were both on fire last night as the Netherlands prevailed 5-2 against Bosnia. The AC Milan midfielder scored a goal and assisted an additional one, receiving words of praise from Ronald Koeman afterwards. Reijnders has become an undisputed starter for the Netherlands, impressing everyone at the Euros, and his good form with the national team continued yesterday. He scored a nice goal after a nice run into the box and managed to get an assist for the same reason. After the game, as cited by De Telegraaf (via MilanNews), the Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman was asked about the…

Milan cannot catch a break at the start of the season, with more bad news emerging from the Algeria camp during the international break.

Heavily linked with a summer departure, the Milan midfielder drew injuries from Saudi Arabia. Atletico Madrid and…
Sometimes they are like a married couple, as Max Verstappen and his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase themselves described it in the past. Of course, the outside world never hears what goes on inside the walls of Red Bull’s garage; all they hear is the occasional bickering over the team radio during a Grand Prix. There is no doubt, however, that Verstappen and Lambiase are very well connected. Verstappen will no doubt be happy that Lambiase has committed his future to Red Bull Racing. Sadly, Verstappen has recently seen one after another walking through the exit door at the Austrian team,…
When you’re playing for Liverpool and a club legend in John Barnes is comparing you to a legend of European football, you know you’re doing a lot right. Ryan Gravenberch has been one of the standout performers in the early weeks of Arne Slot’s reign as the Reds’ head coach, with the Dutchman excelling in a defensive midfield role after an up-and-down first year at Anfield. Speaking on The Rest Is Football, ‘Digger’ suggested that what the 22-year-old offers in the number 6 role is similar to a certain Andrea Pirlo, who excelled in that position for many years in his…
