Mauricio Pochettino signs three-year deal to become Chelsea head coach

Mauricio Pochettino has signed a three-year contract to become Chelsea's next permanent head coach. Sources have confirmed to 90min that the Argentine has put pen to paper on his deal at Stamford Bridge, with his usual backroom team - Jesus Perez, Miguel D'Agostino and Toni Jimenez - all joining him. Pochettino's appointment has still not been officially announced by Chelsea, but news of his imminent arrival will bring some welcome relief for the club's supporters after a turgid 2022/23 campaign. The Blues have dismissed Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter from their head coach positions over the course of the season, with things no better after Todd Boehly and the club's Clearlake Capital owners turned to legendary former midfielder Frank Lampard as an interim fix. Lampard has lost eight of the ten Game s he has been in charge for, with the 4-1 annihilation at Manchester United on Thursday the latest embarrassment for a club who have spent an extraordinary amount of m

Jurgen Klopp sends firm transfer message to Liverpool stars over lack of Champions League football

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has joked that he would personally drive any of his players to their new clubs if they chose to leave over the Reds' lack of Champions League football next season. Despite an outstanding recent run of form, Liverpool failed to climb their way back into the top four and will instead have to settle for the Europa League qualification that comes with finishing fifth. Star forward Mohamed Salah admitted he was 'totally devastated' to miss out on Europe's premier com Pet ition - issuing a social media apology which, bizarrely, has been interpreted by some as a desire to leave Anfield. Asked about Salah's feelings, Klopp laughed off the suggestions that the Egyptian might want to leave Liverpool this summer but made it clear that anybody frustrated by the lack of Champions League Football will be happily allowed to leave. "Mo loves being here," he said. "He was part of the apologies for what we did, not apologies for what the

Marko delivers harsh Ricciardo verdict in Verstappen and Perez comparison

Image
Helmut Marko believes that Daniel Ricciardo is not currently on the "level" of fellow Red Bull Formula 1 drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez . Ricciardo returned to the team as a test and reserve driver for the 2023 season, with his role also involving simulator work and commercial activities. In terms of what Ricciardo has achieved so far on the simulator, Marko has delivered a harsh verdict. Comparing him to Verstappen and Perez, Marko stated that the Australian is "not on their level", in an interview with Formul1.de as quoted by Motorsport-Total . However, Marko will not reveal exactly how large the gap is between Ricciardo and his teammates, adding: "Those are internal details." Change in Ricciardo After leaving Red Bull at the end of 2018, Ricciardo spent two seasons with Renault before his ill-fated spell with McLaren came to a premature end after the 2022 campaign. Marko feels that the eight-time race winner chan

Erik ten Hag responds to rumours linking Neymar with Man Utd

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag refused to answer a question regarding the speculation linking the Brazilian with a move to Old Trafford. A report from French publication L'Equipe this week claimed that United have opened talks with PSG and that Casemiro has been trying to persuade his international teammate to join him at United. Neymar joined PSG in a world record €222m transfer from Barcelona in 2017 when the French giants ambitiously triggered his buyout clause at Camp Nou. His current contract at Parc des Prince, which was signed in 2021, has another two years to run. 90min has previously reported that Manchester United have been among the clubs contacted by intermediaries to make them aware of Neymar’s potential availability. But Ten Hag chose to give a vague and general answer when asked for comment. "When we have news, we will tell you," the Dutchman said. 90min reported just this week that United are being kept informed of Neymar's situation, but h

Virgil van Dijk tips teammate to replace Roberto Firmino

Virgil van Dijk has backed his Netherlands international teammate Cody Gakpo to replace the outgoing Roberto Firmino in Liverpool's attack. Liverpool confirmed that Firmino, alongside James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, will leave the club upon the expiration of his contract at the end of June, ending a trophy-laden eight season stay on Merseyside. During his final Game at Anfield - in which he scored a late equaliser against Aston Villa - a teary-eyed Firmino said goodbye to the Reds' fa NBA se having scored 110 goals in over 360 appearances. Only 12 of those appearances have come as starts during the 2022/23 Premier League season, and that was largely due to the January signing of Gakpo. The 24-year-old signed for a reported £40m fee from PSV Eindhoven and has thoroughly impressed in the false nine role in recent months - a role formerly played by Firmino. Gakpo has bagged six goals and two assists in his 20 Game s thus far and has become a key component

Brown 'pumped' by McLaren future: 'Driver lineup as good as any team'

McLaren CEO Zak Brown says he is optimistic about the team' s future – despite their poor start to 2023. A reshuffle in the off-season saw previous Team Principal Andreas Seidl leave to be replaced by the team's Racing Director Andrea Stella. Following a poor start to 2023, Technical Director James Key was released and the team's technical structure was revised. McLaren are currently fifth in the Constructors' Championship, but only have 14 points from the first five races of 2023, with Lando Norris' sixth place in Melbourne the team's best finish of the season so far. But despite a troubled start to 2023, Brown sought to accentuate the positive, highlighting the culture change that Stella had tried to bring about, and noting that the driving partnership of Norris and Oscar Piastri was arguably the best in F1. "The energy inside the team right now is awesome," Brown told media, including TheFOXposts.Com . "You have a bad weekend

Why F1 was right to cancel the Imola Grand Prix - but should it be on the calendar at all?

Image
Excuse my referring to the cancelled event by a truncated title, but the full name - Formula 1 Qatar Airways Gran Premio Del Made in Italy E Dell'Emilia Romagna 2023 – convolutes the headline. From the title it is, though, abundantly clear the event enjoys enormous support from regional politicians, thus the promoters had no choice other to cancel the race once it became clear locals were hurting massively. On Tuesday, the word was that the promoters would attempt everything to salvage the Grand Prix, including pumping out the paddock and shoring up the banks of the Fiume Santerno which flows alongside the circuit. The next day, realisation hit official suits that this 'carry on regardless' attitude suggests F1 cares not a damn about aiding locals whose houses and possessions were floating downstream, to say nothing of the fact that continuing with the Grand Prix would have diverted resources away from those most in need. Indeed, there are reports of at least eight

Russell casts doubt over Mercedes chances of winning

Image
George Russell has cast doubt over Mercedes ' chances of winning in Formula 1 2023, saying the race for third "may be more exciting." Both Mercedes and Ferrari have dropped off in 2023, allowing Aston Martin to catch them up and Red Bull to sneak off, with the RB19 having claimed all five wins and four one-twos to start the season. Mercedes are bringing a huge upgrade package to this weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola that they hope will begin their process of hunting Red Bull down - but one-time Grand Prix winner Russell admits it is a "shame" to see such dominance. Viewed by others: Alpine F1 Team Alpine detail 'shortcut' plans after 'amateur' blast from CEO

Hamilton fears Red Bull domination for years: 'It is just unfortunate'

Lewis Hamilton has warned against portraying F1's current technical regulatory era in a negative light despite conceding the rules will need to evolve to prevent Red Bull's current domination of the sport. The aerodynamic structure of F1 was radically overhauled for last year in a bid to create a greater racing spectacle. Aero devices were taken away from the top surface of the cars and replaced with a focus on ground effect, theoretically allowing for closer racing with drivers able to remain in close proximity to those ahead through corners. After an encouraging first year, on-track action has failed to deliver upon promises this season with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in particular coming under fire for its lacklustre spectacle. F1 's case has not been helped by Red Bull's dominance in the first five races, with nearest challenger Fernando Alonso steering his Aston Martin home over 20 seconds behind second-placed Sergio Perez at the Miami Grand Prix and a
