Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has expressed optimism about the “exciting” new era at Old Trafford under the guidance of Sir Jim Ratcliffe.The British billionaire has bought a 25% stake in the club for £1.3bn, a deal which also sees him and his team from INEOS assume control of sporting operations. His influence has already been seen in the appointment of former City Football Group executive Omar Berrarda as CEO, while a deal is also getting closer to bring in Dan Ashworth from Newcastle United as sporting director.”I’m sure he’s going to have a positive impact on this club,” Maguire…

7. Collin Klein, Texas A&M (Photo: Getty) Previous position: Kansas State, offensive coordinator Collin Klein left his alma mater to become the new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Texas A&M where he joins the rest of the first-year staff under Mike Elko. Klein spent seven seasons as an assistant coach for the Wildcats, including the past two as offensive coordinator. Kansas State ranked second in the Big 12 and 10th nationally for scoring offense during the 2023 season. Texas A&M made improvements offensively last campaign, but a fresh start with Klein taking control should lead to positive results. A former…

Captain Mitchell Marsh has pinpointed Adam Zampa as arguably Australia’s “most important player” ahead of the T20 World Cup after a “formidable” West Indies pummelled the star legspinner in their 37-run consolation victory in Perth.In a tactical gamble from Marsh that backfired, Zampa was held back until the penultimate over of the innings and was thrashed for 28 runs punctuated by three consecutive sixes from Andre Russell as West Indies powered to a match-winning total of 220 for 6 after recovering from 17 for 3.”He bowled some really tough overs tonight,” Marsh said. “The 19th [over], it’s probably the hardest…
By Peter Weis @PeterVicey After leading his new squad’s first training session this afternoon, legendary German football trainer Friedhelm Funkel was formally introduced as 1. FC Kaiserslautern’s new head-coach at an early evening presser. The formal rollout took place later than expected as the 70-year-old was mobbed by hundreds (some sources say at least 1000) local Lautern fans hoping to catch a glimpse of their former player and potential new savior. After all of the handshake and autograph requests had been fulfilled, Funkel spoke on a variety of topics. The former Lautern player noted he wished to make a contribution…

Like Uma Thurman’s Bride in Quentin Tarantino’s revenge epic Kill Bill, Ian Machado Garry is keeping a list of all those who wronged him, and he absolutely plans on checking off every one. His main focus at UFC 298 centers around beating Geoff Neal and advancing his ranking in the welterweight division. But the 26-year-old prospect hasn’t forgotten the abhorrent comments aimed at his family in recent months. Garry’s disdain mostly lies with former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland and welterweight contender Colby Covington, both of whom have targeted his wife – and by extension, his son – in social…
