Atalanta Sack Head Coach Ivan Juric After Poor Serie A Start

Wale busari02 mins

Atalanta have sacked head coach Ivan Juric following a 3-0 home defeat to Sassuolo, leaving the club in 13th place in Serie A after 11 matches. Juric, who took over in June after Gian Piero Gasperini’s nine-year spell, struggled to replicate last season’s success when Atalanta finished third. The team has recorded only two league wins this campaign and sits 11 points behind leaders Inter Milan. “Atalanta BC announces that Ivan Juric has been relieved of his duties as first team coach,” the club said in a statement. “We thank Ivan Juric and his staff for their hard work and wish them all the best for the future.” The 50-year-old Croatian previously managed AS Roma for less than two months in 2024 and also had a brief stint at Southampton, leaving the club a day after their relegation from the Premier League. Reports suggest that former Fiorentina manager Raffaele Palladino is a leading candidate to take over. Atalanta will face Napoli on November 22 following the international break.

Lionel Messi Returns To Camp Nou, Hopes To Bid Fans A Proper Farewell

Wale busari02 mins

Lionel Messi returned to Barcelona’s renovated Camp Nou on Sunday and expressed his desire to one day properly say goodbye to the club’s fans. Messi left Barcelona in the summer of 2021 after the club was unable to renew his contract due to financial restrictions. His exit was sudden, and he only had a tearful press conference to bid farewell before joining Paris Saint-Germain. Now with Inter Miami, Messi stepped onto Camp Nou again on Sunday evening after leading his team to the next round of the Major League Soccer playoffs. “I hope I can return someday, and not just to say goodbye as a player, like I never got to,” he said. The stadium has been under renovation for nearly three years and is set to reopen soon with limited capacity. Barcelona plans to resume hosting competitive matches at Camp Nou after the international break, with ongoing work expected to expand the venue to around 100,000 seats. Barcelona president Joan Laporta revealed plans to honor Messi with a special tribute once the renovations are complete. “It would be a beautiful way to show gratitude and recognition,” Laporta said during a recent test event. “When we reach 100,000 capacity, we’ll be able to hold the tribute he, the club, and everything we achieved together deserve. It probably won’t happen before the end of 2026, when club elections are scheduled. If I’m still president then, I’d be very happy to lead Messi’s tribute at the stadium.”

Alex Iwobi Exposes Poor Hotel Conditions Ahead of Super Eagles’ World Cup Play-Off in Morocco

Wale busari02 mins

Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi has shared a video highlighting poor conditions at the hotel where the team is staying ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup African play-off against Gabon in Morocco. The video shows facilities that appear below standard for an international team, raising concerns about the arrangements made by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). While CAF usually manages lodging for participating nations, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) can request alternative hotels if necessary. Nigerian players have voiced similar complaints in the past. Earlier this year, Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade criticised CAF-provided accommodations during the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. The Super Eagles are scheduled to face Gabon on November 13, aiming to secure their spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As of now, neither CAF nor the NFF has responded to Iwobi’s video.

Wale busari01 mins

Captain William Ekong and fellow defender Benjamin Fredericks arrived the Super Eagles’ hotel in Rabat, Morocco on Sunday night, to join the seven-man early crew of defender Calvin Bassey, midfielders Alex Iwobi and Wilfred Ndidi, and forwards Simon Moses, Tolu Arokodare, Olakunle Olusegun, and Samuel Chukwueze. Most of the remaining 15 players are expected today (Monday), as the three-time African champions get in the mood for a potentially-explosive Play-off semi-final clash with the Panthers of Gabon at the Complexe Sportif Prince Heritier Moulay Al Hassan on Thursday evening, starting 5pm Morocco time (same as in Nigeria). Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo clash in the other semi-final, with the two finalists to battle it out at the Complexe Sportif Prince Heritier Moulay Al Hassan on Sunday evening, for Africa’s lone ticket to the Intercontinental Playoffs in Mexico next year.

NPFL Slams ₦9m Fine On Katsina United, Orders Home Games Behind Closed Doors After Violent Clash

Wale busari03 mins

The Nigeria Premier Football League has fined Katsina United a total of ₦9 million and ordered the club to play all remaining home matches behind closed doors in Jos, following violent scenes during their 1–1 draw with Barau FC. According to a statement issued on Sunday, Katsina United were found guilty of several breaches, including poor crowd control, failure to ensure adequate security, and allowing unauthorised persons access to restricted areas. The NPFL said fans threw dangerous objects onto the pitch, injuring some Barau FC players and harassing match officials. The league described the club’s supporters’ behaviour as “conduct capable of bringing the game into disrepute.” The sanctions include ₦3 million for fans’ misconduct and throwing objects, ₦2 million for poor security arrangements, and ₦4 million compensation for medical bills, damages to Barau’s team buses, and for holding players and officials hostage after the match. The league further directed that Katsina United relocate to the New Jos Stadium for all future home games, which will be played without spectators. The club has 48 hours to appeal the decision. The disciplinary action follows reports that Barau FC’s Nana Abraham suffered a neck injury after being attacked by fans moments after scoring the equaliser in the 69th minute. However, Katsina United denied any incident of violence or injury, calling the reports “baseless” and “an attempt to tarnish the club’s image.” The club’s media director, Nasir Gide, insisted that security personnel maintained order throughout the match and threatened legal action against outlets spreading false claims. This marks the second major disciplinary case this season, coming just weeks after Kano Pillars were fined ₦9.5 million and handed a points deduction for crowd violence in a home game against Shooting Stars.

Manchester City Cruise Past Liverpool 3-0 At Etihad With Haaland On Target

Wale busari02 mins

Pep Guardiola marked his 1,000th managerial game in style as Manchester City dismantled Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium. In a clash between two sides chasing Premier League leaders Arsenal, City dominated from start to finish, cutting the Gunners’ lead to just four points. Erling Haaland, continuing his phenomenal scoring run, set the tone with his 28th goal of the season for club and country. Earlier, he had a penalty saved by Liverpool keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili after being fouled by the goalkeeper for bringing down Jeremy Doku, but Haaland made amends in the 29th minute with a towering header from Matheus Nunes’ cross, completing a slick passing move. It marked his first goal against Liverpool in a match featuring Virgil van Dijk. Liverpool thought they had equalised before the break when Van Dijk headed in Mohamed Salah’s corner, but the goal was disallowed for offside after Andy Robertson inadvertently blocked City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma’s line of sight. City added a second in first-half stoppage time when Nico Gonzalez’s 20-yard strike deflected off Van Dijk, wrong-footing Mamardashvili. After the interval, Doku continued to terrorise Liverpool’s backline, particularly Conor Bradley, and produced a moment of magic to seal the win. The Belgian winger curled a stunning 20-yard shot beyond Mamardashvili to make it 3-0, putting Guardiola’s milestone game firmly beyond doubt.

Chelsea Silence Critics As Gusto Scores First Career Goal In 3-0 Win Over Wolves

Wale busari03 mins

Chelsea eased pressure on manager Enzo Maresca with a convincing 3-0 victory over Wolves at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, featuring the first professional goal of French defender Malo Gusto. Maresca’s team selection had come under fire after former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney criticised his heavy rotation policy, suggesting senior players should “question” the manager’s decisions following a midweek 2-2 Champions League draw with Qarabag. Unfazed by the criticism, Maresca once again made sweeping changes—eight in total—for the Premier League clash, marking the sixth straight match in which he had altered seven or more players. This time, the move paid off handsomely. After a sluggish first half, Chelsea dominated the second period. Gusto broke the deadlock with his maiden career goal since joining from Lyon in 2023. Joao Pedro soon extended the lead, and Pedro Neto sealed the win to give the Blues their fourth victory in five league matches, lifting them into second place and within six points of leaders Arsenal. Although Manchester City’s clash with Liverpool on Sunday could push Chelsea back to third, the result offers Maresca a timely response to his critics heading into the international break. For Wolves, the defeat compounded a miserable run of form. Under interim coaches James Collins and Richard Walker, the bottom-placed side have now lost nine of their last 11 games and remain eight points adrift of safety. Meanwhile, Middlesbrough have reportedly granted manager Rob Edwards permission to speak with Wolves over the vacant managerial role after agreeing on a compensation package. Chelsea, who only returned from their midweek trip to Baku early Thursday morning, showed fatigue in the opening half but regained control after the break to secure a much-needed and morale-boosting win.

Katsina United Fans Attack Barau FC Player, Forcing NPFL Match to Be Stopped

Wale busari02 mins

Katsina United’s home clash with Barau FC in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) was stopped on Saturday after Barau player Nana Abraham was attacked by angry fans. The incident occurred shortly after Barau’s Orji Kalu scored a 69th-minute equaliser to level the game at 1-1, sparking outrage among some supporters. Abraham, involved in the build-up to the goal, was chased and assaulted on the pitch, sustaining a deep cut to his neck. Teammates and officials rushed to intervene and protect him. Barau FC confirmed the incident on their official X account, announcing the temporary halt of the match. “70’ The match is temporarily halted following an attack on Barau FC player, Nana Abraham. Katsina United | 1-1 | Barau FC,” the club posted. Security officers were deployed to restore order in the stadium. As of now, neither NPFL management nor Katsina United has released an official statement. The attack highlights ongoing concerns about fan violence in Nigerian football. Last month, Kano Pillars were fined ₦9.5 million, docked three points, and had their stadium closed after fans invaded the pitch during a match against Shooting Stars of Ibadan. Football authorities continue to call for stricter sanctions and stronger security to protect players during league games.
