Arsene Wenger would talk to Bayern Munich if they were interested in appointing him as head coach, although he insists there has not yet been any contact with the German club.
Bayern are looking for a new boss following the sacking of Niko Kovac, with Hansi Flick taking charge of the 2-0 Champions League win over Olympiacos on Wednesday.
Wenger, out of work since leaving Arsenal in 2018, would appear to be one potential candidate, with reports indicating he could be appointed until the end of the season.
Speaking in his role as a pundit for beIN SPORTS, the 70-year-old revealed he had come close to taking the job in the past and could not rule out the move.
I d never refuse to talk to Bayern Munich because I have known the people who lead the club for 30…
Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes is determined to end a poor season on a high after Sunday’s jaw-dropping and “spicy” FA Cup quarter-final win against Liverpool.
With immense pressure on manager Erik ten Hag and his misfiring side, the Red Devils secured a remarkable 4-3 victory in stoppage time of extra time through substitute Amad Diallo.
His strike sparked wild celebrations and secured an FA Cup semi-final against Coventry, breathing new life into a season that had threatened to go into a tailspin.
Asked if he had ever seen scenes like that at Old Trafford before, captain Fernandes said: “I think the last year probably against Liverpool, it was the turnaround of last season and kind of the same.
AN INCREDIBLE END TO ONE OF THE MOST INC…
Deportivo Alaves have completed the signing of Joselu Mato from Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee, both clubs and the player himself have confirmed.
Despite successfully surviving in the Premier League, Newcastle are stranded in the middle of huge uncertainty regarding their near future. The situation surrounding the club ownership seems rather murky at the moment, Rafa Benitez has left his role of manager after his contract expired and joined Chinese side Dalian Yifang, and they ve lost the services of Ayoze Perez who has moved to Leicester City. Now they ve lost Joselu as well.
After two years at the St James Park and 46 appearances for the Magpies, the 29-year-old forward has signed a three-year contract with the La Liga side, who believe their attacking line i…
Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane took the blame for this side s Champions League exit at the hands of Manchester City on Friday.
Pep Guardiola s side won 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium to claim a 4-2 aggregate victory and reach the quarter-finals, where they will face Lyon.
Raheem Sterling put City ahead after Varane lost possession to Gabriel Jesus in just the ninth minute of the game.
Karim Benzema equalised but Jesus restored City s advantage after Varane made a mess of a header and then failed to nod the ball back to Thibaut Courtois.
It was a rare poor performance from the France international, who was without usual centre-back partner Sergio Ramos due to suspension, and he was prepared to accept responsibility.
This defeat is mine. I have to …
Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti conceded the race for the Scudetto was no longer in his side s hands after they fell to a 3-2 loss to Fiorentina.
Dries Mertens cancelled out Nico Gonzalez s first-half opener at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, before Jonathan Ikone and Arthur Cabral put the visitors two goals to the good.
Victor Osimhen pulled one back in the closing stages for Spalletti s side, but his efforts were ultimately in vain as Napoli succumbed to their sixth league loss this season, five of which came at home.
The defeat leaves them level on points with defending champions Inter, who have played a game fewer, and two behind Serie A leaders Milan ahead of the Rossoneri facing Torino on Sunday evening.
With that deficit in mind, a visibly disa…
Convince Messi, re-establish La Masia, manage financial crisis – Laporta´s to-do list as Barcelona´s
A new era begins in earnest for Barcelona, with Joan Laporta s second spell as president confirmed on Sunday following his victory in the election.
Regarded as arguably the most important political event at the club in a generation, much was said to be riding on the collective decision of the socios, or members, who voted.
Laporta, Toni Freixa and Victor Font had spent months outlining their plans in public, with La Masia, the club s crippling debt and the tumult caused by the previous administration among the main focuses.
But outsiders can be forgiven for thinking the election essentially boiled down to which candidate stood the best chance of convincing Lionel Messi to stay.
Laporta s first spell as president, from 2003 to 2010, coincided with Messi s …
Unai Emery has set his sights on the Champions League after guiding Villarreal to their first major European title thanks to an upset of Manchester United in the Europa League.
Villarreal surprisingly conquered United in the Europa League final following a marathon 11-10 penalty shoot-out in Gdansk, where the match finished 1-1 after extra time on Wednesday.
Gerard Moreno s first-half opener was cancelled out by United star Edinson Cavani in the 55th minute and the showdown was decided on penalties.
United goalkeeper David de Gea missed the only penalty of a lengthy shoot-out as Emery became the first head coach to win either the UEFA Cup or Europa League four times, surpassing Giovanni Trapattoni.
LaLiga outfit Villarreal are the first side to win in the…
Raphinha has responded to Kylian Mbappe s claims that the Euros are harder than the World Cup by reminding the Frenchman who beat them in the 2022 final.
In an interview, Mbappe noted that France had not won the European Championships in 24 years, which is something he will be looking to change this year.
That observation then led to him saying, The Euros is a difficult competition, more than a World Cup. All the teams know each other, and the style of soccer is similar. Group stages are difficult.
However, Brazil s Raphinha was not happy with the 25-year-old s comparison, pointing out that Argentina prevented them from winning the World Cup in 2022.
Unfortunately for him and fortunately for us, he lost a World Cup against a South American team, Raphinh…
Harry Maguire called for Manchester United players to rally around one another and stick together after their Champions League last-16 exit to Atletico Madrid.
United managed a 1-1 draw in the first leg at Atletico to keep hopes alive of making just a third quarter-final in the competition since finishing runners-up under Alex Ferguson in 2010-11.
But a Renan Lodi first-half header condemned United to a 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford on Tuesday, sealing a 2-1 aggregate triumph for Diego Simeone s battling visitors.
That ended United s hopes of silverware for yet another season, with Ralf Rangnick s remaining goal being to secure a top-four finish a race that looks set to go to the wire.
Indeed, fourth-placed Arsenal could be seven points clear of United by t…
Fikayo Tomori says Milan must keep their heads as they chase what would be the club s first ever Italian league and cup double.
Defender Tomori helped Milan rebound from goalless draws against Bologna and Torino by securing a 2-0 win over Genoa on Friday, and they sit top of Serie A for now.
A two-point lead over second-placed Inter comes with the caveat that Milan have played one more game than their city rivals, who they must tackle next in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.
That derby tie is poised at 0-0 after the first leg, with the second game coming up on Tuesday.
Milan are unbeaten in their last three games against Inter across all competitions (W1, D2), while Inter have been eliminated in each of their last four Coppa Italia semi-finals.
