AC Milan chief exec Giorgio Furlani is working on shaking up the club’s management team. TMW says Furlani has held a series of meetings with former Tottenham and Juventus sports director Fabio Paratici. As it stands, there is a confidence of an agreement with Paratici to join the Rossonero before the end of the season. It’s also suggested Paratici will have a say in the future of coach Sergio Conceicao. Defeat in the Coppa Italia semifinal against Inter Milan could see Conceicao pushed out by the end of the campaign. And it’s emerged Paratici has met with the agent of…
The Pittsburgh Steelers want Aaron Rodgers. They’re willing to wait for Aaron Rodgers. But they aren’t willing to wait past the point where it makes things too difficult, and they’re making that known. At the NFL League Meetings in Palm Beach, Florida, head coach Mike Tomlin, general manager Omar Khan and team president Art Rooney II all spoke to local media in small, personal scrums. Obviously, Aaron Rodgers was asked about. He was asked about more than anything else. The Steelers remained an optimistic outlook on the situation. Rooney said signs are pointing to Rodgers signing with Pittsburgh. Tomlin confirmed…
AC Milan continue to be linked with a move to bring Sandro Tonali back to the club, but Juventus seem to be the ones putting the wheels in motion. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, there are some similarities between Milan and Juventus in the sense that both sides are looking to build an Italian-led core heading into next season, and Tonali has all the directors in agreement. One thing that Juve could boast which the Rossoneri almost certainly will not be able to is qualification for the 2025-26 Champions League. That being said, Newcastle United are still going to…
As La Gazzetta dello Sport write, when Inter are not playing Milan they have averaged 2.43 points per game this season. Against Milan, they are at one point in three games: an average of 0.33. There must be something to it, and they have looked at five reasons. With Fonseca and Conceiçao, Milan played different games: more aggressive with the first Portuguese, more defensive with his replacement. In three games out of three, however, they deserved to win or draw, they played well, they had long periods in which they put Simone Inzaghi in difficulty. The first zoom is on…
In the world of basketball, the James name carries high expectations. While Bronny, LeBron’s eldest son, has captured most of the media attention, Bryce James, the youngest, has had a more complex journey filled with tough decisions and moments of self-reflection. Although Bryce showed talent early on, his high school career wasn’t as high-profile as his brother’s. At Sierra Canyon, a school known for its athletic achievements, opportunities were limited, which frustrated Bryce. However, things truly came to a head when his parents made decisions about his academic and athletic future. LeBron and Savannah, aware of the pressure their son…
Arsenal’s new sporting director Andrea Berta has the club currently in pole position to land the transfer of Wolves forward Matheus Cunha this summer. Sources close to the situation have informed CaughtOffside that the Gunners are leading the chase for Cunha’s signature due to Berta’s links with the player. The Italian chief knows Cunha from their time together at Atletico Madrid, and he’s a big fan of what the versatile Brazilian can offer in attack. In another boost for Arsenal, CaughtOffside understands that Wolves are resigned to losing Cunha this summer, and are already planning their strategy around the assumption…
Beppe Marotta is sceptical about the timing and ‘process’ for a new stadium at San Siro, but Milan’s Mayor Beppe Sala hits back at the Inter President: ‘Bring home the Scudetto.’ Inter and Milan recently submitted an offer to buy the San Siro area, including the Stadio Meazza, and build a new stadium in the coming years. Milan and Inter’s new stadium has been a hot topic in the country for over a decade, with several plans already abandoned. Marotta said on Tuesday that he was sceptical about the process and the timing for a new stadium, but Sala hit…
Sergio Conceicao has admitted that he is ‘not the happiest in the world’ because of the last three months he has experienced at AC Milan. It feels like Conceicao’s days at Milan are numbered despite the fact that he has only been in the job for four months. He arrived at the end of December, inheriting a difficult situation will little time to work on the training ground, yet he has not lit the spark necessary to save the season. The Portuguese coach’s media style is something that we spoke about in a feature on Tuesday, but he does increasingly…
As Orioles fans, we were spoiled with the opening week of the season this year. Because the O’s began the year in Toronto, a stadium with a retractable roof, they did not need to build a rain date into their plans. So their first off day of the year came on Tuesday, after playing five whole games. If that’s not evidence for why every new stadium should have a retractable roof, I’m not sure what is. The Orioles are back in action tonight, however, and they will have to face the newly paid Garrett Crochet. It was reported yesterday that…
After appointing a sporting director, with Fabio Paratici clearly ahead in the race, AC Milan will soon have to choose the coach for next season. Sergio Conceiçao’s adventure, even if he were to win the Coppa Italia, is coming to an end. The guideline for his successor is already set: after two Portuguese coaches, Milan should go back to ‘speaking Italian’. As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, and as has been reported by other sources, Paratici’s arrival would see Milan launch a homegrown-led project, based around a director, a coach and players who know the league well. The favourite It…
