Tomas Soucek dedicated his side s victory over Luton Town to David Moyes as the West Ham manager signed off at home in winning ways.

West Ham confirmed earlier this week that Moyes is to depart London Stadium at the end of the season when his contract expires.

The Hammers defeated Luton 3-1 in Saturday s Premier League contest, with Moyes given a strong ovation before, during and after the match.

Soucek, who netted either side of goals from James Ward-Prowse and youngster George Earthy, is grateful for what Moyes has done.

It is tough to take. The manager has been unbelievable and improved this club a lot, he told BBC Sport.

We wanted to get the win for him and we re happy that we did in the second half. It was tough at the beginning but it s a…

The odds are firmly stacked against struggling Malaga when they face an Atletico Madrid team who are unbeaten in their last 15 matches and have won all of their last nine games.

Sunday s La Liga match will be both sides last before a 10-day festive break in the fixture calendar and Javi Gracia s men are under extreme pressure having crashed out of the Copa del Rey at the hands of second-tier outfit Mirandes this week.

Malaga have only won one of their last six league games as well, leaving them down in 16th place as they prepare to welcome a rampant Atletico side – who are level on points with Barcelona at the top – to La Rosaleda.

A point or more in the match for Atletico would have them as outright leaders at Christmas, with Barca not in domestic action th…

Gennaro Gattuso has completed his return to AC Milan as the club s new Primavera boss.

The 39-year-old left Milan in 2012, joining Sion to continue his playing career before becoming player-manager at the Swiss side.

He also enjoyed coaching spells at Palermo, OFI Crete and Pisa, having left the latter this month following their relegation from Serie B.

Gattuso had already claimed to be heading back to San Siro – where he won two Serie A titles – and Milan have now announced he has signed a two-year deal as Primavera coach.

Gonzalo Higuain has set his sights on breaking his own Serie A goals record after moving from Juventus to AC Milan.

The Argentina striker has joined Milan on a season-long loan as part of a deal that sees Mattia Caldara move to San Siro with Leonardo Bonucci returning to the Serie A champions after a single season.

Higuain hit 36 goals for Napoli in the 2015-16 season, earning a move to Juve, where he won a brace of Serie A titles and Coppe Italia.

But the 30-year-old, made available by Juve after their €112million purchase of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, believes he can break that record.

It will be very hard but when you begin a new adventure you want to find new challenges so I ll try, Higuain said to DAZN.  That s the beauty of football i…

Albert Celades admitted he faces a complicated situation at a difficult club after being appointed head coach of Valencia just hours after the sacking of Marcelino.

The decision to dismiss Marcelino came as a shock to supporters still celebrating their side s Copa del Rey triumph and their fourth-place finish in LaLiga last season, which saw them qualify for the Champions League.

Former Spain Under-21 and Real Madrid assistant coach Celades has no experience taking charge of a first team at club level and in a news conference he said he had travelled to Singapore to meet with Valencia owner Peter Lim before Marcelino s departure was announced.

However, he insisted he would aim to build on the foundations laid by Marcelino, saying: Regardless of the situation, Va…

According to a recent report from Sky Sports, David Luiz has informed Arsenal of his intention to leave the club during the summer transfer window.

Luiz joined the club back in August 2019 and while he s had his fair share of ups and downs, many will admit that he s one of the most unique defenders of his generation. Whether or not that translates into him being a stable and successful member of any defensive line is another matter altogether, but one thing is for sure: his time in London appears to be coming to an end.

Whether or not he stays in English football remains to be seen but at the age of 34, the next move he makes could be an absolutely vital one for his career.

He clearly still wants to compete at the highest level, and that may lead him to one of t…

Finally making their first Premier League appearance of 2022, Leicester will welcome Tottenham to the King Power Stadium on Wednesday night.

Leicester City

Starting with the hosts, while Leicester might have extended their FA Cup adventure with a 4-1 win against Watford earlier in the month, the Foxes are yet to make a single Premier League appearance since opening the New Year. However, last seen on top-flight duties picking up an eye-catching 1-0 victory against Liverpool on home soil, Brendan Rodgers men will be desperate to keep up that momentum here. With the one-time Swansea boss making it clear that he is calling on his side to find some stability in 2022, Leicester should at least be boosted by their continued success on home s…

David Moyes signed a new three-year deal to stay on as West Ham manager on Saturday and declared: This is where I want to be.

Linked with a return to his former club Everton recently, Moyes has committed his future to the Hammers, who finished sixth under his leadership in last season s Premier League.

That secured a Europa League place and West Ham s 65-point haul was their best in a Premier League campaign.

Moyes, 58, has also previously led Manchester United, Real Sociedad, Sunderland and Preston North End, and this is his second spell at West Ham.

I am delighted to have committed my future to West Ham United, Moyes said.

This is where I want to be and I m happy. I m excited to be given this opportunity to build on what we all have already a…

Hannover 96 have struck a deal to sign highly-rated midfielder Vladimir Rankovic from Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

The Germany youth international, 20, will receive a three-year contract at the HDI-Arena after impressing for Bayern s reserves this term.

Rankovic, who joined Bayern s youth academy in 2005, can play in central midfield and on the right wing.

The 20-year-old starlet would have undoubtedly been overlooked had he stayed at the Allianz Arena, with a number of players including the likes of Mitchell Weiser and Pierre Højbjerg ahead of him in Pep Guardiola s pecking order.

Vladimir Rankovic has received some magnificent coaching while at FC Bayern, Hannover sporting director Dirk Dufner told the club s .

He has a…

Casemiro scored one and provided another as Manchester United began their defence of the Carabao Cup with a straightforward victory against lifeless Crystal Palace.

A lot has happened in the seven months since securing the first trophy of the Erik ten Hag era – and the Red Devils’ first silverware in six years – against Newcastle at Wembley.

Casemiro opened the scoring under the arch and found the net again in Tuesday’s 3-0 third-round triumph against Palace as United look to put their poor start to the season behind them.
