Solskjaer sacked: Ole´s trophyless three-year reign as Man Utd boss in Opta numbers

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s near three-year reign as Manchester United manager was officially brought to an end on Sunday.

The Red Devils parted company with the Norwegian, who was appointed on an initial caretaker basis in December 2018, on the back of Saturday s 4-1 loss to Watford.

United s fifth defeat in seven Premier League matches leaves them with 17 points from 12 games – their second-lowest tally at this stage behind the 16 accrued in 2018-19, also under Solskjaer.

As United begin the search for a fifth permanent boss since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, Stats Perform looks at the numbers behind Solskjaer s trophyless tenure.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Why would you end career in Saudi Arabia over the big stage?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he would face no moral issues playing in Saudi Arabia, but questioned why players would not want to end their career on the big stage.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Brazil striker Neymar, Karim Benzema and England midfielder Jordan Henderson are among players to have made the switch to the Saudi Pro League, along with former Manchester City forward Riyad Mahrez and Ruben Neves.

Ibrahimovic, who retired from football in June, has played for some of the leading clubs in Europe, including Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Paris St Germain and Manchester United, while also having a successful spell in America with LA Galaxy later in his career.

IFAB keen to introduce sin bins for professional football after grassroots trial

Sin bins should be trialled at higher levels of football following their successful implementation in the grassroots game, the sport’s lawmaking body has agreed.

Temporary dismissals of players for offences such as dissent and specific tactical fouls were backed by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) at its annual business meeting.

IFAB board members also supported a proposed trial whereby only the team captain may approach the referee in certain major game situations.

Don’t be overawed by Wembley, says Liam Kelly as Coventry aim for Premier League

Liam Kelly insists “sleeping giant” Coventry must avoid letting the occasion of a Wembley play-off final ruin their Premier League dream.

Coventry, one of the Premier League’s founder members in 1992, will end a 22-year exile from the top flight if they overcome Luton in the Sky Bet Championship play-off final on Saturday.

Victory would cap a remarkable journey for Coventry and Kelly as the veteran midfielder was part of the Sky Blues team which beat Exeter in the League Two play-off final at Wembley in 2018.

“The attention surrounding this game is more (than 2018), but on a personal level it’s just the same for me,” said skipper Kelly.

“We were expected to be promoted from League Two and League One, but at the start of the season I don’t …

Inter 1-2 Milan: Last-gasp Gabbia header seals derby day spoils

Matteo Gabbia s dramatic late winner secured Milan a valuable three points against rivals Inter at the San Siro on Sunday.

Gabbia planted a bullet header from Tijjani Reijnders free-kick beyond the grasp of Yann Sommer in the 89th minute to end a run of six straight Milan derby defeats for the Rossoneri.

Milan s bright start was rewarded in the 10th minute when Christian Pulisic drove at the Inter defence before prodding the ball home, becoming the first player from the United States to score in the history of the Milan derby.

But their lead was short-lived as Federico Dimarco s left-footed strike nestled into the bottom corner 17 minutes later, with Inter heading into the interval in the ascendency.

Milan were awarded a penalty 20 minutes into the seco…

Arne should Slot right in at Liverpool, says Meulensteen

Rene Meulensteen believes Arne Slot is the right fit for the Liverpool job, with the Dutchman poised to take over next season.

It was reported last month that Feyenoord and Liverpool reached an agreement in principle for Slot to replace Jurgen Klopp, who announced in January he would be leaving the club after nearly nine years.

Slot led Feyenoord to their second Eredivisie title last season after taking over the club in 2021 and lifted the KNVB Cup in April after beating NEC Nijmegen.

Slot’s attacking style of play has been likened to Klopp’s, with Meulensteen also recognising the similarities between the two coaches.

Meulensteen, speaking on behalf of William Hill Vegas, told Stats Perform: There was a lot of speculation about different names, with […

Bitesize Prediction: Bahia vs Vasco – 27/06/24

Market: Bahia win

Odds: 4/6 @

Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the Serie A table, Bahia will welcome Vasco to the Arena Fonte Nova in the early hours of Thursday.

Starting with the hosts, while Bahia might have found themselves at the heart of a Serie A relegation scrap last season, the Tricolor have made a string of improvements this time around. Last seen over the weekend putting in a thumping performance as they stormed their way to a stellar 4-1 romp against Cruzeiro, Rogerio Ceni’s men have received a string of plaudits from across Brazil’s elite since opening up the 2024 campaign. Battling it out at the top of the table and remarkably sat just three points adrift of climbing to the top of the Serie A standings, the form…

Chelsea sack Potter: Magic in short supply as Opta numbers paint glum picture of ill-fated reign

Chelsea are once again on the hunt for a new head coach after Graham Potter s brief tenure was brought to an abrupt end on Sunday.

While the news might have caught some by surprise given Chelsea s insistence about Potter being a long-term hire when initially appointed, many will feel the writing was on the wall.

Premier League management is a cut-throat business and Chelsea s actions are the case in point, with Potter reportedly costing them £21million in compensation just 206 days earlier.

Despite his excellent reputation, Potter was unable to meet the demands at Stamford Bridge and leaves with a record that does him few favours.

Chelsea s confirmation of Potter s dismissal was very respectful and made clear how remorseful t…
