Erik ten Hag Returns To FC Twente As Technical Director

Wale busari02 mins

Erik ten Hag has returned to familiar territory after being named technical director of FC Twente, the club where both his playing and coaching paths began. The former Manchester United manager is taking on the new role months after his short-lived stint at Bayer Leverkusen ended. Ten Hag was dismissed by the Bundesliga side in September after only three matches in charge, having collected just one point from his first two games before being sacked following the third. Reacting to his appointment, the 55-year-old expressed deep emotional ties to the club, saying: “I think it’s wonderful and special to return to FC Twente, where I’ve been a supporter at Het Diekman since I was a young boy. My football and coaching careers began here.” Ten Hag joined Twente as a player in 1989 and spent over a decade at the club before retiring there in 2002, making his latest move a significant homecoming.

Wale busari01 mins

Algeria and Nigeria are set to meet in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The Fennec Foxes booked their place in the last eight with a late 1-0 win over the Democratic Republic of Congo. After a tense 90 minutes that ended goalless, it looked like the match would be decided by penalties. However, in the 118th minute, Adil Boulbina cut in from the left and fired a stunning strike to secure victory. The Super Eagles advanced on Monday following an emphatic 4-0 victory against Mozambique in Fez, setting up the eagerly anticipated clash with Algeria. The quarter-final showdown will take place on Saturday, January 10, with kick-off scheduled for 5pm local time.

Morocco 2025: No Rumpus in Eagles’ Camp -Team Administrator

Fola Badmus03 mins

The camp of Nigeria’s Super Eagles has shot down insinuations and dark innuendoes of a rumpus in the team following Monday night’s 4-0 thrashing of Mozambique’s Mambas, which progressed the three-time champions to the last-8 of the ongoing 35th Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco.   Striker Victor Osimhen was seen making gestures to fellow forward Ademola Lookman just before a corner kick, and conjectures of various complexions have followed in the legacy and digital media.   “There is no problem whatsoever in our camp. Whatever people saw as a crisis between two brothers was easily resolved a couple of hours later. All is good and we are presently at training,” Team Administrator Dayo Enebi Achor confirmed on Tuesday evening.   Achor also dismissed reports that striker Jerome Akor Adams – who scored his first ever AFCON goal on the night – abandoned the team camp. “He took permission to go and see his mother who was hospitalized here in Fès, and returned in less than an hour.”   Deputy captain Osimhen netted a brace in the encounter to move to 34 goals in 50 matches for Nigeria – only three less than the Nigeria senior record of 37 goals by ‘Goalsfather’ Rashidi Yekini (of blessed memory).   Ademola Lookman, who had two goals and two assists before the match, having played in the games against Tanzania and Tunisia while sitting out the encounter with Uganda, added another goal and three exquisite assists on the night.   All the 26 available players (young defender Ryan Alebiosu continues on his recovery path) were involved in Tuesday evening’s session at the Sardienne Complex.   The three-time champions will on Thursday move to the city of Marrakech, where they will play the winner between Algeria’s Fennecs and DR Congo’s Leopards in Saturday’s quarter-final duel scheduled to kick off at 5pm.

Breaking: Chelsea Appoints Rosenior As Head Coach

Fola Badmus04 mins

Chelsea have confirmed the appointment of Liam Rosenior as their new head coach on a six-and-a-half-year deal.   Rosenior arrives from Strasbourg on a contract that runs until 2032.   He said: “I am extremely humbled and honoured to be appointed head coach of Chelsea Football Club. This is a club with a unique spirit and a proud history of winning trophies.”   Rosenior will take charge of Saturday’s FA Cup third-round tie at Championship side Charlton Athletic.   Callum McFarlane, who presided over a 1-1 draw at Manchester City on Sunday, will oversee Wednesday’s Premier League game at Fulham.   Rosenior had confirmed his imminent move to Stamford Bridge at a Strasbourg press conference on Tuesday morning – and said he was “ready” for the job.   The ex-Hull boss said: “I was given permission to speak to one of the biggest clubs in the world.   “It was an honour to be associated with a club like that and, now, it looks like I will be the next manager of that football club,” the 41-year-old said.   Rosenior played for Bristol City, Fulham, Reading, Hull City and Brighton during a 16-year playing career.   After hanging up his boots in 2018, Rosenior almost guided Hull to the Championship play-offs in 2024 and then became head coach of Strasbourg, who are owned by Chelsea’s parent company BlueCo. The French club finished seventh in Ligue 1 last season.   Despite his lack of experience at a top-level club – and having managed barely 100 matches altogether – the incoming head coach insisted his new role was not too big a job to take on.   “I am so excited for the future, my whole life has worked to be a coach and now to be presented this opportunity at a world-class football (club) is something I have always dreamed of,” he said.   “With that is a mixed emotion of sadness of what I am leaving behind. This is the last day I wake up as Strasbourg manager.   “I hope the fans here can understand that. I am looking forward to the challenge, if I didn’t think I was ready, I wouldn’t have accepted it.   “The reality is Strasbourg is not on the level as Chelsea. There are certain clubs you just cannot just turn down. I hope the fans can see that.”
