Jose Mourinho has claimed he is eyeing a return to football management, though does not want to take on the wrong opportunity. Mourinho is currently out of work having been sacked by AS Roma in January after being knocked out of the Coppa Italia by bitter rivals Lazio and sitting ninth in the Serie A table. The Giallorossi have since been reborn under the guidance of club legend Daniele De Rossi and are firmly in the hunt for a Champions League place. The Portuguese has been linked with various roles since departing Roma and momentum has built recently over a third stint at Chelsea. Mourinho visited Formula 1 's Saudi Arabia Grand Prix over the weekend and spoke to Sky Sports about his future plans . Mourinho has been tipped to replace Pochettino / Alex Livesey/GettyImages When asked if he will soon return to management, Mourinho replied: "I hope so. I want [to manage]. "Roma was great because we did two European finals in two years and that’s hard in a club that ever d

Gerrit Cole’s salary with the New York Yankees: The pitcher’s contract details

Image
2024 will be the fifth year of the pitcher ’s massive nine-year contract which is valued at $324 million. As much as there has been chatter, the reality is the franchise has failed to give the 2023 Cy Young Award winner proper cover. To that end, there is the possibility he could leave. The low down on Gerrit Cole’s contract As mentioned above, New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole is currently just past the halfway point of his more than lucrative nine-year contract which he signed in 2020. Cole’s contract has seen him earn $36 million annually to date. Where ROI is concerned, the right-handed pitcher has started a total of 108 games and thrown 664 innings with an ERA of 3.08 and 816 strikeouts. After receiving Cy Young votes in all four of the seasons that he has played since putting pen to paper, the right-hander finally won the award last year by a unanimous vote, after leading the American League in pitcher WAR (7.4), ERA (2.3), innings pitched (209), and WHIP (0.98).

Image
Erik ten Hag preached his belief that Manchester United "are back" and "defended very well" despite facing 23 shots in Saturday's 2-0 win over Everton . The Red Devils returned to winning ways thanks to a pair of first-half penalties, with Bruno Fernandes becoming the club's all-time leading scorer from the spot before Marcus Rashford buried their second. Despite the victory, United were out-shot by their opponents despite the advantage of playing at Old Trafford, with Everton registering 23 to their hosts' 15. Per FotMob's figures, United did record more expected goals with 2.56 to 1.48, though their own sum is heavily i NFL ated by the two penalties.

We are defending low quality chances. Sometimes we are defending very low and we can do that v

Why aren’t NBA champion Denver Nuggets visiting the White House?

Image
As tradition dictates, most if not all championship-winning teams in the major Sports leagues of the United States are granted an audience with the sitting president. This year, however, the Denver Nuggets have decided to forgo that pleasure in the name of preparing for an all-important clash with their immediate rival in the Western Conference. No White House visit for the Denver Nuggets According to reports, the Denver Nuggets will not be making a visit to the White House. With March 18th set as the date for their trip to Washington D.C., the No. 3 seeded Nuggets have chosen instead to focus on their March 19th date with the No. 2 seeded Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis. Now, while there are some who might cheekily like to suggest there is political posturing at play, reports indicate that it was purely a “basketball decision.” Related stories NBA Rudy Gobert suggests NBA referees are on the take NBA Steph Curry's injury not as serious as first feared Incidentally, the N
