Rejoice, Leicester City fans – it looks like you ve turned a corner.

A run of two wins in nine games in all competitions had led to all sorts of head-scratching, not to mention a few worried mumblings about Brendan Rodgers and whether he might think fifth place, an FA Cup and a Community Shield was as much as he could realistically achieve at the King Power Stadium.

Things have looked a little less scary in the Hallowe en season, though. That emphatic 4-2 win over Manchester United kick-started a run of four consecutive victories (well, three, plus a shoot-out defeat of Brighton and Hove Albion in the EFL Cup). OK, they conceded eight goals in those four games, but one thing at a time.

Ironically, perhaps the biggest concern for Leicester right now is the majo…

Thomas Tuchel expressed his desire to create a new chapter of success at Borussia Dortmund after replacing Jurgen Klopp as head coach.

Klopp was a firm fan favourite during his seven-year stay at Signal Iduna Park, having led Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles, a DFB-Pokal triumph and the final of the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League.

However, the popular German announced his departure in April during a difficult season that saw Dortmund finish seventh and suffer defeat in the Pokal final to Wolfsburg in Klopp s farewell match.

Dortmund announced that Tuchel would replace Klopp for next season in April, and he is keen to put his own stamp on the team.

Jurgen Klopp had seven unbelievably successful seasons here. We will now try to create a new chapter …

Marouane Fellaini insists Manchester United will not take Midtjylland lightly in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 clash on Thursday.

Louis van Gaal s side were drawn against the Danish title-holders after dropping out of the Champions League group stage in December, with defeat to Wolfsburg on matchday six ending their involvement in Europe s top competition.

The draw was considered by many to be kind on the 20-time English champions, with Midtjylland having conceded more goals (12) than any other side to make it through the Europa League groups something they have done for the first time in their history this season.

According to Fellaini, United are fully prepared for a difficult game in Herning as they look to become the fifth team to win both of E…

Ederson believes there is a big possibility Carlo Ancelotti will take over as the next head coach of Brazil.

Real Madrid boss Ancelotti has been touted as a contender to succeed Tite, who stepped down as planned after Brazil s World Cup quarter-final defeat to Croatia.

Ancelotti is under contract with Madrid until the end of next season, while the Brazilian Football Confederation last month denied an agreement had been reached with the Italian.

However, speaking at a press conference ahead of Brazil s friendly with Qatar 2022 semi-finalists Morocco, Ederson said he would not be surprised to see Ancelotti take charge.

Gran eliminatoria del equipo para seguir compitiendo por esta Champions. Ahora a preparar bien el Clásico.

PSG have had another dominant season domestically, having wrapped up the Ligue 1 title last month with a remarkable 9-0 win at Troyes. Despite the derby loss to Monaco afterwards, Paris Saint-Germain got back to winning ways with a comprehensive 4-1 tri…

With all eyes from across the footballing world falling on England s top-flight over the weekend, the 2022/23 Premier League campaign got underway with plenty of major talking points.

While defending champions Manchester City and Tottenham might have opened the New Year with a pair of routine victories, others failed to hit the ground running.

Watching both Manchester United and Liverpool drop shock points in their opening showdowns, there could be some early-season nerves kicking in behind the scenes.

Manchester United

Enjoying what was an eye-catching pre-season run while on their tour of Australia this summer, …

Federico Chiesa s brilliant hat-trick helped Fiorentina hammer 10-man Roma 7-1 to book a Coppa Italia semi-final spot.

Giovanni Simeone came off the bench to score twice in the second half as Roma capitulated in Wednesday s tie, which included Edin Dzeko seeing red for Roma.

Luis Muriel and Marco Benassi were also on target to add to the growing pressure on Roma boss Eusebio Di Francesco.

Chiesa struck twice in the opening 18 minutes, turning in a Kevin Mirallas cross to open the scoring before racing on to the same team-mate s throughball to dink a chip over Robin Olsen.

Aleksandar Kolarov was caught out of position for Chiesa s second goal, but his typically powerful 20-yard drive reduced the deficit, only for Muriel to restore Fiorentina s two-goal …

Jose Mourinho backed Paulo Dybala to make an impact when he returns to Juventus as a Roma player on Saturday, as he praised the Argentina forward s contribution since joining the Giallorossi.

Roma have recorded back-to-back 1-0 wins over Salernitana and Cremonese to start the Serie A season, and Saturday s clash in Turin represents a real test of both sides Scudetto credentials.

The Giallorossi s acquisition of Dybala, who left Juventus upon the expiration of his contract in July, was regarded as something as a coup after he scored 82 league goals during a seven-year spell in Turin.

That haul places Dybala 10th in Juventus all-time Serie A goalscoring charts, making him the highest-scoring non-European player in their league history and their fourth-most prolific…
