Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt another devastating blow in their managerial search this week…

What’s the word?

According to Sevilla president Jose Castro, the North Londoners made a “dizzying” offer to their manager Julen Lopetegui to become their next head coach, but he has rejected the opportunity as he is happy in Spain.

In an interview with Spanish radio station Cadena SER (as relayed by the Telegraph), Castro said:

“Julen rang me and told me. He said he’d received offers he’d not listened to in addition to a dizzying one from Tottenham. But he said he doesn’t forget things and that he is very motivated here. We believed and believe in him, giving him a two-year contract extension, and I’m sure he will bring much more to the club.”

Blow after blow

This is just the latest setback of many in what has been an immensely frustrating process for Spurs. It’s been over two months since Jose Mourinho was sacked by Daniel Levy, with the club still no closer to finding his long-term successor.

Ryan Mason had taken charge on an interim basis until the end of the 2020/21 campaign and at this stage, he could be in line to take pre-season considering that their players who aren’t involved at Euro 2020 will resume training on July 5th.

Early on in their hunt, it’s thought that Spurs made Julian Nagelsmann one of their top targets. He instead opted for Bayern Munich, understandably.

Leicester City’s Brendan Rodgers was another mooted first-choice option for Levy and co but he ruled himself out of swapping the FA Cup winners for the seventh-place strugglers.

Since then, Spurs have reportedly held talks with no fewer than four more candidates, with neither being appointed.

The Athletic revealed that the Lilywhites had tried to bring back Mauricio Pochettino in a sensational return to the club that sacked him over 18 months ago but Paris Saint-Germain held firm in their stance to keep him.

Chelsea’s former Premier League-winning coach Antonio Conte was the next name to appear to be close to the role before negotiations collapsed, with both parties having their own doubts.

And more recently, the newly-appointed director of football Fabio Paratici has seen moves for Paulo Fonseca and Gennaro Gattuso fall through, leaving Spurs seemingly back at square one.

Now it has been confirmed that Lopetegui, who won the Europa League at Sevilla in 2019, has also rejected them, only adding to Levy’s frustrations.

This news will surely have the Tottenham supremo absolutely livid.

With pre-season less than ten days away and the Lilywhites still managerless heading into a third month, the pressure will only mount on those in charge at the club.

AND in other news, Forget Nuno: Paratici can revive Spurs by hiring “wonderful” 57 y/o with 67% win rate…

Leila Pereira, dona da Crefisa, foi eleita conselheira do Palmeiras com votação recorde no último sábado, mas ainda precisa superar mais uma barreira para exercer o mandato de quatro anos: está prevista para o dia 6 de março, antes da cerimônia de posse dos novos conselheiros, a votação que pode impugnar a candidatura dela. Os membros do atual Conselho Deliberativo, e não os recém-eleitos, é que julgarão o caso.

Os conselheiros que entraram com pedido de impugnação se baseiam no argumento usado por Paulo Nobre, que tentou brecar a candidatura da dona da Crefisa no último ato de seu mandato: ela seria sócia do clube desde 2015, e portanto não teria os oito anos necessários para concorrer. Mustafá Contursi, ex-presidente do clube, alega que deu a ela um título de sócia benemérita em 1996, versão aceita pelo atual mandatário, Maurício Galiotte, o que permitiu que 248 sócios pudessem votar nela no último fim de semana.

A expectativa no clube é que o Conselho aprove a candidatura de Leila. O motivo: ela faz parte da chapa Palmeiras Forte, capitaneada por Mustafá, que exerce grande influência sobre o órgão. Comenta-se no clube que a única possibilidade de o resultado ser outro é se a votação for secreta.

José Roberto Lamacchia, marido de Leila, recebeu 62 votos e também foi eleito. Ele foi o terceiro mais votado da chapa Palmeiras Forte.

Dos 76 conselheiros eleitos, 27 são da Palmeiras Forte, 27 são da chapa Palestra, 13 são da UVB e nove são da Academia, chapa apoiada por Paulo Nobre. Os 15 suplentes estão divididos entre Palestra (seis), Palmeiras Forte (cinco), UVB (dois) e Academia (dois).

Western Province were again unable to follow-up their early inroads into the KwaZulu-Natal second innings, and by close of play on the third day the visitors had extended their lead to 365 with three wickets still in hand and no declaration in sight

Peter le Grange18-Mar-2002Western Province were again unable to follow-up their early inroads into the KwaZulu-Natal second innings, and by close of play on the third day the visitors had extended their lead to 365 with three wickets still in hand and no declaration in sight.Overnight batsmen HD Ackerman and Claude Henderson kept their partnership going for 45 minutes against the second new ball before Henderson’s defence was penetrated by McLean. Roger Telemachus soon followed, and Charl Willoughby’s presence at the crease eventually persuaded Ackerman to play some of his rarely seen aggressive shots, hitting three fours and a five in an entertaining last wicket partnership. They finished the innings with 3.50 batting bonus points, ensuring that they must win this match to qualify for the Final in April.Trailing by 99 runs, the home team fought back gamely. Telemachus had Doug Watson lbw and Willoughby dismissed Ahmed Amla to a slip catch for the second time in the match, but WP were struck a cruel blow when Willoughby was injured shortly before lunch. His dislocated shoulder ended his participation in this match. Henderson, opening the bowling after lunch, dismissed Jonty Rhodes with a ball which kept low, and also had Dale Benkenstein caught behind, at which stage KZN were in trouble on 41 for four. Hashim Amla and Jon Kent restored the balance with a partnership of 55 before Amla was dismissed by part timer Jonathan Trott, the second dubious lbw decision of the innings.Kent and Lance Klusener continued to turn the screws with a partnership of 81 for the 6th wicket. Kent played some elegant strokes, while Klusener, true to reputation, treated Henderson with the utmost respect but belted all of his 6 fours and 3 sixes off the seamers from the Wynberg end. Both departed in quick succession, at which point WP had some hope of fighting back, with KZN 289 ahead with just three wickets in hand.That was the last success for the home team. Duncan Brown dug his heels in, playing a gritty innings interrupted only when he pulled a Henderson long hop over the mid wicket boundary. Goolam Bodi played with his normal aggression, punishing all the bowlers as he included ten boundaries in his unbeaten 50. The umpires allowed WP just one over with the second new ball before offering the batsmen the light with seven overs still to be bowled, but already 26 minutes into overtime. Henderson was the best of the bowlers, bowling 32 overs unchanged from the Kelvin Grove end.

أعرب الإنجليزي، جاري نيفيل، مدافع مانشستر يونايتد السابق، عن إعجابه بما فعله الدولي التونسي، حنبعل المجبري، لكونه كان يُقاتل على حد وصفه أمام ليفربول في البريميرليج.

وكان ليفربول قد اكتسح مانشستر يونايتد بنتيجة 4-0 في المباراة التي أقيمت الثلاثاء الماضي، على ملعب “آنفيلد” في مباراة مؤجلة من الجولة 30 للدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وشارك حنبعل المجبري كبديل قبل ست دقائق من نهاية المباراة بدلًا من السويدي أنثوني إيلانجا الذي غادر المباراة مُصابًا.

وقال نيفيل في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “مانشستر إيفينينج نيوز” البريطانية: “أنا فخور بحنبعل، إنه لم يتقبل فكرة تمرير لاعبي ليفربول الكرة من حوله، علينا أن نكون منصفين هذا الطفل أظهر شيئًا ما”.

وأضاف: “كنت أتمنى أن يتمتع باقي اللاعبين في الفريق بمثل هذا الحماس، لقد كان جيدًا حقًا أنا فخور به”.

وواصل: “ربما لم يحب فكرة مرور لاعبي ليفربول من حوله، بالفعل مناوشاته مع لاعبي الريدز لم تكن في محلها، لكن هذه الغيرة شيء يقدره جمهور مانشستر يونايتد”.

وبعد نهاية المباراة أوضح نيفيل تصريحاته، قائلاً: “لقد أخطأت في الجانب غير المهني قليلاً من التعليق الليلة عندما قلت إن مجبري كان جيدًا، ولكن من الجيد أنه حاول التغلب على لاعبي يونايتد”.

وأتم تصريحاته قائلًا: “لقد حاول تمرير الكرة والحصول عليها من لاعبي ليفربول، أنا لا أقول إنه كان رائعًا لأنه كان من الممكن أن يؤذي لاعبي ليفربول، ولكن كمُشجع لمانشستر يونايتد يُمكنك أن ترى أنه كان جيدًا”.

مضيفًا: “كانت الخطة فقط أن نجعل الأمر صعبًا عليهم، ليفربول في حالة جيدة حقًا، تأمل أن تنتهز فرصك لكن للأسف سجلوا هدفين”.

وواصل لاعب إيفرتون: “كان لدي فرصتين حيث كان بإمكاني لعبهما بشكل أفضل، سأعمل على ذلك وأصبح أفضل”.

وشدد: “لقد تماسكنا معًا، كان أداءً جيدًا في الكثير من وقت المباراة لكنهم أظهروا كفاءتهم في النهاية”.

Crystal Palace transfer target Osaze Urhoghide would prefer to stay in England for his next adventure rather than moving to Europe as he nears the end of his Sheffield Wednesday contract, according to The Star.

The Lowdown: Crystal Palace look towards 2021/22

Moving into the 2021/22 season, the Eagles face a massive rebuild following the exit of 22 first-team players at the beginning of June [The Sun].

Despite being managerless following Roy Hodgson’s departure last month, they have made progress in the transfer market following the acquisition of 22-year-old American midfielder Jacob Montes [cpfc.co.uk].

As pre-season fast approaches, could the south Londoners be set to make a second signing of the summer transfer window after recent developments?

The Latest: Eagles given boost in Urhoghide pursuit

Urhoghide has chosen to turn down interest from the continent following murmurings that clubs such as Sporting Lisbon, Benfica and Club Brugge were in the running for his services. That could open the door for Palace to swoop for his signature, although Leeds United and Preston North End have also been known admirers of the 20-year-old [The Star].

The Owls would be due a compensatory package once the youngster leaves Hillsborough, with his deal set to expire on Wednesday [Transfermarkt].

The Verdict: Palace should look to sign Urhoghide as soon as possible

All things considered, this news should come as a timely boost to Crystal Palace supporters approaching the forthcoming campaign.

The 1.88m (6 foot 2) colossus made 17 appearances for Darren Moore’s men in 2020/21 [Transfermarkt]. Showing his domineering presence at an early stage of his career, Urhoghide successfully completed an average of 2.7 clearances per game last season for Sheffield Wednesday [WhoScored].

Once labelled as ‘immense’ by his manager Moore [The Star], he certainly seems to have a bright future in the game, and regardless of the direction of the club, securing premium prospects should always hold an important place on the Crystal Palace itinerary.

The Eagles should look to seal a deal as soon as possible for Urhoghide before Leeds or Preston make their move.

In other news, many Crystal Palace fans react negatively to an official club update.

Rangers’ hopes of signing Joey Veerman this summer have been handed a boost after he opened the door to a move abroad following PSV Eindhoven’s decision to pull out of the race to sign him, which should put Steven Gerrard’s side amongst the favourites to land him from Heerenveen ahead of next season.

The 22-year-old has been linked with the likes of Rangers, PSV and Atalanta in recent months, but a move to the Eredivisie giants no longer seems to be on the cards after they signed Davy Propper from Brighton recently. Also, the Serie A club are set to complete a £17m deal for Teun Koopmeiners, which may quell their interest in the Ibrox target.

Veerman shared his disappointment at PSV’s preference for Propper, saying: “It’s just what kind of club comes along. I think it will be very difficult in the Netherlands, so there’s only one thing to do.

“As it looks now, I’m still at Heerenveen and I’m doing my best and nothing else is going on there.”

It has been previously reported that Veerman would cost Rangers £8.5m this summer, but given his superb performances in the Eredivisie in the last two seasons, he could add the Champions League quality that Gerrard needs ahead of their return to Europe’s elite club competition next term.

Former Rangers striker Michael Mols was full of praise for him when the links to Gerrard’s side first emerged, saying: “He is perfect with the ball and in possession, he’s a really great player. His passing and movement with the ball is really relaxed in a good way.”

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-rangers-transfer-rumours-and-news” title=”Read the latest Rangers transfer rumours and news!”]

Last season saw the 22-year-old contribute an impressive seven goals and 10 assists in just 31 Eredivisie appearances, earning a superb 7.40 rating from WhoScored for his performances.

Given that the majority of Rangers’ goals last season came from their strikers, wingers and James Tavernier, a potent midfielder could be exactly what Gerrard needs to ensure that his side retains the Premiership title next season.

[freshpress-quiz id=“593776″]

Although Veerman will be an pricey option for the Gers, sporting director Ross Wilson should take advantage of PSV Eindhoven backing out and work quickly to bring Veerman to Ibrox this summer, as he could prove to be a superb addition in both the short- and long-term.

Geoffrey Boycott has managed to retrieve a glimmer of hope for the Indians from the Barbados Test

Special Correspondent07-May-2002Geoffrey Boycott has managed to retrieve a glimmer of hope for the Indians from the Barbados Test.”Yes, they were outplayed comprehensively but their new opening pair showed promise in the second innings, especially (Wasim) Jaffer. This boy can play well off the backfoot which is necessary for any opener in the international arena. Indians are generally very good players when they come forward. But on wickets abroad, the ball bounces more and to counter it you need to play well off your backfoot. Jaffer executed his backfoot shots perfectly. And I was impressed with his shot selection too. It appeared that he has a good thinking brain on his shoulders. He is a good prospect,” said Boycott.But the legendary England and Yorkshire opener was not so pleased with what he saw of Shiv Sunder Das. “He seems to have too many problems. Let him correct those first. Otherwise, he has the ability to stay at the wicket for some time. That’s good. But he has to be careful once he is set. The more time he’ll spend on the wicket, the more confident he’ll feel and that’ll help him to make big scores,” he said.The duo make for a fine study in contrasts. While Jaffer is aggressive, Das tends to be rather defensive. To one of the finest openers of all-time, that goes well when they are playing as a pair. “Runs will be scored, the scoreboard will keep ticking and the pressure on them as well as on the batsmen to follow will be reduced significantly. They should be cautious about judging singles since after getting such a beautiful start, they can’t ruin it the way they did it at Kensington Oval,” he added.India has always been looking for two quality openers but could not find them. That’s the root cause behind the string of poor results abroad. If these two can reprise their second innings performances more regularly, the Indians can hope to turn the corner abroad, Boycott felt.”The middle-order is getting runs. Sourav (Ganguly) has found his touch and he is patient out there in the middle. All the other batsmen have got runs in the series. So once the openers put some runs on the board, the situation can take a new look. Let’s hope they do it consistently. Only then India have a chance to come back in the series,” he opined.
