Maurizio Sarri is the new manager of Lazio Roma, the replacement for Simone Inzaghi, whom last week signed a contract at Inter Milan

the 62 yr old was since last summer without a club after been sacked at Juventus, earlier he had been manager of Chelsea, Napoli

CL opponent for PSV in second qualifying round is Turkish side Galatasaray

first match will be played in Eindhoven on 20 or 21 July


Conference League opponent for Feyenoord in second qualifying round will be one of montenegrin side FK Decic or FK Drita, both are now in first qualifying round

Italy: Gennaro Gattuso after 22 days already resigned as manager of Fiorentina

manager and club didn't agree about transfer policies

the 43 yr old Gattuso was presented last month as replacement for Giuseppe Iachini, Gattuso himself came over from Napoli

Breaking News Netherlands: the Eredivisie & KeukenKampioenDivisie will go through as one organisation, majority of the teams agreed to the merge of the Eredivisie CV and Cooperatie Eerste Divisie (CED)

with one professional football organisation you got more chance to be heard in Zeist (KNVB's HQ) says Jan de Jong, director of the Eredivisie CV, to both the fans, commercial market, as well as politics


the Dutch football follows into footsteps of England, Germany, Spain, France where also multiple competitions are under one organisation

some drama going on at NAC Breda now

first director of football Ton Lokhoff quit due to other board members not being in same direction, mindset as he had for the club

and now the manager Maurice Steijn has resigned due to him having received death threats from several fans, and also a VIP (former footballer, NAC Icon) Pierre van Hooijdonk whom was upset his son didn't get selected for starting 11's that much


so they will undergo some internal renewals and hopefully they can sort this s**t out with the fans (if the death threats are indeed real, that is a no go and some should be banned from entering stadium for life i think)

first friendly match for PSV

and all new signings are in starting 11

line up: Drommel, Mwene, Ramalho, Boscagli, Max, Propper, Rosario, Vertessen, Bruma, Zahavi, Madueke

Dwight Lodeweges has resigned as assistent coach of dutch national team to make his return into the Eredivisie, as assistent coach of PEC Zwolle, to be Art Langeler's right hand man

Girondins de Bordeaux will play in the Ligue 1 next season after all

businessman Gerard Lopez has saved the club and paid off most of the debts, so he saved them from a forced relegation (which would've been first relegation in 30 years for the club)


also Angers FC whom also had financial trouble and faced forced relegation out of Ligue 1, will remain at highest level after another investor had saved them



back to Bordeaux, Lopez said ''it is a great day for everyone in Bordeaux, and now we move onto the sportive and financial project which was launched with a green light today''

next week the return

Feyenoord tonight in Conference League qualifying round, away against Kosovar side FC Drita

Not bad spurs will play soon

yes definitely not bad



only i would want one more signing somehow, a winger




Ramalho in our defence is just amazing, definitely the leader we need in the back :D


Mwene is 100% better than Dumfries, and Dumfries already wasn't bad



only weak spot is Sangaré but i guess Van Ginkel and Propper cannot play together or at least maybe coach Schmidt wants one defending midfielder and one offensive midfielder

Nony Madueke for the England national team pls :love: keep your eye on him Gareth if you're smart

and all goals here in these highlights




Gotze is impressed by our fans, said he has never ever seen audiences like ours before, even in germany so passionate :clap1:

hope for yet another good season for Fortuna Sittard, hoping they survive another season


Isitan Gun really made them quite a decent team filled with lots of talent


players who i look forward to: Yigit Emre Celtik, Veron Parkes


but overall clever way of signing players, cheap and tactically good by first testing them



now they are currently busy with a french-algerian talented forward Baghdadi on a trial period first + they are also busy with a fan favourite Mickael Tirpan negotiating since he was previously on loan but fans want the club to sign him permanently quite soon
