Four managers in contention to take England manager job

Published

on

England have drawn up a list of four managers they want to appoint after Lee Carsley decided to turn down the role on a full-time basis.


Carsley, who is currently the interim coach, does not wish to be the new permanent England manager, according to The Telegraph.

This news comes after the disastrous Nations League defeat to Greece on Thursday.


Following that match, Carsley strongly hinted that he did not want to manage the first team on a full-time basis.

This has forced the Football Association, FA, to look elsewhere.

It is understood that Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola, who is out of contract at the end of the season, remains England’s “dream choice” to replace Gareth Southgate.


The three other men on the wishlist include former Chelsea head coaches Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter as well as Newcastle United’s Eddie Howe

Moses Simon is optimistic the Super Eagles will earn a berth at the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite a poor start to the qualifying series.


The three-time African champions are languishing in fifth position in Group D with three points from four games.

The Super Eagles must at least win their remaining six games in the qualifiers to be sure of a place at the 2026 World Cup finals, which will be co-hosted by Mexico, Canada and the United States of America.


“We have the quality; we have what it takes to win,” the 29-year-old told BBC Sport Africa. We don’t believe that we are not going to the World Cup.

The last qualifying games, we missed regular players and I believe they’ll be there next year to help the team.”

Born in Jos, his father served in the Nigerian Army before his retirement.

Simon is a product of the famed GBS Academy, the same football academy in Nigeria that produced the likes of Ahmed Musa.

He was linked with Nigerian Premier League club Kaduna United, as many professional clubs abroad were also eager to sign him.

Manchester United goalkeeper, Andre Onana has said that he would have loved Ruud van Nistelroy to coach the club on a permanent basis.

Ruben Amorim will assume duty as Man United permanent manager following the recent sacking of Erik ten Hag.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Onana described Van Nistelroy as a ‘very good guy.’

“I’d love Ruud van Nistelrooy to stay even with Amorim, 100%,” the Cameroon international said.

“He is a very good guy, a very good coach and he expects a lot.

“But at the end of the day, it is not something we can decide because the club make the decision.”

Champions League: Lewandowski Will Surpass Messi’s 30 Goals Record –Smith

Published

on

TNT Sports pundit, Rory Smith has tipped Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski to surpass the club’s legend Lionel Messi’s UEFA League all-time goalscorers list.


Lewandowski is third on the list of players with the most goals in the Champions League competition.

The Poland international recently took his Champions League tally to 99 goals.

He netted two goals in Barcelona’s 5-2 thumping of Crvena Zvezda on Wednesday.

His brace put him at 30 goals shy of Messi’s tally.

Messi is second on the Champions League all-time scorers list with 129 goals and his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo is top of the chart with 140 goals.


“It’s not impossible that he catches Messi. 30 more goals. Two more years. 15 a season,” Smith said (via EuroSport).

“He’s quite old, but he famously eats his pudding before his main course. He will be going!”
