Not satisfied with the performance of coach Francesco Farioli, this forced Nice to fire him and they got a replacement, namely Frank Haise. I think this change in coach will have quite a significant impact on Nice next season, especially since this season they only finished in 5th position and failed to secure a place in the Champions League.

Frank Haise himself had previously been Lens coach since the 19/20 season and it seems that Lens did not renew his contract so Nice took advantage of this opportunity to recruit him. It is possible that Nice will put their trust in him to be able to bring Nice to compete again with other teams in the top flight next season.

We know this is just a rumor and it doesn't seem like some people will take it seriously. The request to bring Arda Guler to Fenerbahce is the wish of their new coach, Mourinho, and it looks like that will not happen. The reason is that Real Madrid will retain its talented young players and will not let them leave on loan.

The latest news I also heard was that Real Madrid had rejected 6 to 7 offers in the summer for Arda Guler so that other teams had to give up their intentions of getting the services of this young player from Turkey. Arda's appearance in the final session of this season opened the eyes of the club owner and management that he really deserves playing minutes later, but of course he has to be patient with the competition in Real Madrid's main squad.
Indeed, that will not happen and if we look at the celebration in the heart of Real Madrid, Ancelotti gave Arda the opportunity to introduce himself in front of many fans. With what Ancelotti has shown so special, I guarantee Arda will not go anywhere. This rumor will never be confirmed by Madrid. Arda will remain in Madrid while learning from several of his seniors. Arda just needs to be patient even though he is always a reserve player, but when Madrid needs him he is able to provide satisfaction. Successfully collecting 6 goals from 10 matches proves he is worth keeping.
Even though he appeared late due to an injury that lasted half the season, when he recovered his quality did not decline at all and every time he had the opportunity he managed to score a goal. I think at Real Madrid he can use all his abilities and the facilities at Real Madrid are very capable of handling young players.

Therefore, if Arda Guler leaves on loan then he will lose the opportunity to maintain his consistency and to be honest, Ancelotti will still give him the opportunity to appear even though not as much as he would like. For Real Madrid, winning the title and preparing for the future with a promising player like Arda Guler is a sure thing so they will not let the player leave. Anyway, of the 6 goals scored by Arda Guler, they came from 6 shots on target and all of them were his goals this season.

Chelsea have moved ahead for their first signing of the summer and this time they got it without spending a penny for Fulham's Tosin Adarabioyo. He plays as a central defender and it seems he is being prepared as a replacement for Thiago Silva, who is leaving Chelsea at the end of this season.

I think Chelsea should often look at the potential of players like Tosin Adarabioyo, especially if they don't spend money on transfers then they can also save money in terms of their spending budget. Tosin Adarabioyo's contract will last for four years and of course this will be a long-term project undertaken by Chelsea.

Last season we didn't see Liverpool in this competition and starting next season we will see it again with the face of a new coach. As is known, Arne Slot will continue Jurgen Kloop's legacy and compete with the best teams around the world with a qualified coach, which is very difficult to express.

However, I am quite sure that if everything goes well until the group stage then the possibility for Liverpool to enter a higher round such as the semifinals or final will be quite open. I know it's still early days but I want to see them become strong contenders like before and it would be great if in his first season as coach Arne Slot could take the Reds to a bigger stage.

Are you optimistic enough about Arne Slot? Roll Eyes

Some people must already know this story where in 2022 Joselu came to Paris to support Real Madrid in the Champions League final against Liverpool and 2 years later Joselu also succeeded in bringing Real Madrid to win this title. Maybe his role is not very optimal at the club because he rarely starts and he is more of a supersub player when needed. Anyway, he also won the La Liga title in his first season at Real Madrid and that added to his achievements.

As happened in the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich, if it weren't for Joselu, it's possible that Real Madrid would not have advanced to the final against Dortmund. On the other hand, his performance in La Liga is also commendable where he scored 10 goals and in the Champions League he recorded 5 goals for a total of 15 goals during this season with Real Madrid. So I think it is very appropriate if Joselu is retained, especially at crucial times, he can be a differentiator and his mentality will bring good luck to Real Madrid.

I looked for news related to Osimhen and PSG, but what I found was old news or rumors. Even though he was linked with PSG, based on reports, Romano clarified that Osimhen is currently not involved in further negotiations with other clubs, even though there are rumors circulating. In fact, it is not rumored that Paris Saint-Germain is seriously targeting this player from Napoli.
The latest news is that it turns out that the rumors regarding Osimhen going to PSg this season are just rumors. In fact, Enruqie prefers to promote their own players as replacements for Mbappe. because he realized that they still had a number of players who were truly talented and very suitable for the French club. Randal Kolo Muani and also Gonçalo Ramos are the internal players who will be further promoted by Enrique in the next season.

With this news, Osimhen's chances of going to Arsenal are even higher. Because previously, not only PSG but also Chelsea had not focused on this Napoli player.

https://www.afrik-foot.com/en-ng/victor-osimhen-transfer-psg-u-turn-mbappe
Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos should not be wasted players because PSG bought them both at a fantastic price last season. Now it's just a matter of how Luis Enrique can process it well and I think Kolo Muani can fill the position left by Mbappe. Because it looks like he can be relied on more than as a striker and the striker position can be given entirely to Goncalo Ramos. Meanwhile, Dembele will remain on the right winger to destroy the opponent's defense.

It seems that Osimhen will not be interested in playing in Ligue One because he actually needs a tougher challenge than in Italy and therefore if he moves to PSG it will reduce his intensity as a player and he will get bored quickly. Maybe this is too soon, but if one day Osimhen comes to PSG, of course it will be good for his career after what he wants has been achieved.

Chelsea already know Julian Alvarez transfer reality as 'enquiry' made amid £140m Man City truth



Manchester City probably have no long-term plans for Julian Alvarez. Julian Alvarez is a great player. And because of Alvarez's excellent performances, City won several important matches and managed to win the title. Yet Alvarez is getting no chance in City's starting XI. So Alvarez should also look for a new squad where he can play the full 90 minutes. Chelsea could be a good option for that. However, due to the internal conflict of Chelsea, the team is far behind.

I would be happy if Alvarez joined Liverpool or Arsenal. Both these teams are strong and will compete for the title next season. But we don't know yet if they are interested in Alvarez.
It's a shame that a player with great talent like Alvarez has to keep waiting for his turn on the bench and it's time for him to move if he doesn't want to continue being a bench warmer. Alvarez has won everything at club and country level and must be feeling bored at the moment due to the lack of challenges he faces.

Going to another club will make him more alive as a football player and he can improve his individual record even better. In Manchester City he will continue to be overshadowed by Haaland so it will be very difficult for him to start. Liverpool or Arsenal are two clubs that have always been competitive in recent years and it could be that Alvarez could be a differentiator who can provide something different. But even if there was an offer, I would prefer him to go to Liverpool because there is MacAllister who is a fellow countryman.
169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 07, 2024, 08:45:06 AM
Seria A is tough and watching Inter Milan supporters cheering up for their favorite side, this have been up and straight in his faces rather focused in these big winnings. Inter Milan liked challenges and they've embraced them with full option without having second thoughts. Inter Milan won the scudetto and they've already hits the bigger winnings and we know their next UEFA Champions League.  
Of course the Serie A League has very high challenges. In the 2022-23 season, Inter Milan has shown its potential by succeeding in third place. Until finally in the 2023-24 season, Inter Milan was able to achieve victory because Napoli changed coaches, making Inter Milan take advantage of this moment to become champions in Serie A this season.
Hopefully Inter Milan can win again next season because it seems like there is no stronger team than Inter Milan.
But indeed that time was Inter's best performance period and even at that time Inter managed to reach the Champions League final. From there it can be seen that in the following season Inter will be a serious threat to other teams, especially Napoli and in the end they are the ones who won the Scudetto this season.

They only lost once all season and the rest of the time they didn't experience defeat again in Serie A and that was an extraordinary achievement for coach Simone Inzaghi. I think that next season Inter will still dominate Serie A as long as they still use the same squad and none of their players leave in the summer.

Dortmund really showed their business side, even though during this season Sancho played so well in all competitions and this made him very worthy of being made permanent. But it was not so easy for Dortmund to make his move smooth and they asked Manchester United to give Sancho another loan.

I don't know for sure whether Manchester United will agree to this or not, but what is clear is that Sancho does not want to return to Manchester United and if possible he will go to another club if Dortmund's request is rejected. I think it's quite sad for Sancho because he is very comfortable at Dortmund but on the other hand Dortmund might want to know whether Sancho can be consistent or not because they don't want to be too hasty in making decisions and I think Sancho has to understand that.
Manchester United might still accept Sancho after seeing that they miss used him be he will be very useful for the team if he play alongside Huglund, but Ten Hag will be the main problem in that case because they had personal issues that led to Sancho's departure in the team.
Sancho on the other hand will not to go back to United because of his relationship with Ten Had unless if United decide to sack Ten Hag.

I don't know why Dortmund don't usually like keeping players despite all the effort the players made during the season. They are used to selling their key players without having replacement for then, and that action has been affecting their performance; I just hope United rejected this deal so that Dortmund can keep Sancho.
Well, the main key is that Manchester United must fire Erik Ten Hag first if they want Sancho to return, but if they can't do that then it's better for Sancho's future to stay at Dortmund. Moreover, he felt much happier at Dortmund and his performances improved impressively.

Maybe Dortmund knows that Sancho's potential is still not exhausted and the proof is that even though he hasn't played for Dortmund for quite a long time, he still made a comprehensive contribution throughout the season. Because of this, Dortmund is also trying to persuade Manchester United to take another season on loan and this step is very appropriate if you look at Dortmund's actions in the world of football business and player transfers.

I think it's not just Roma that will remain a threat in the European league, considering that there will be other strong clubs dropping out of the Champions League and that will increase the intensity of the competition, making it even more exciting. I think next season's European League will still present interesting things and maybe more than just the favorite teams, we will see the same thing as this season.
Several strong European teams that play in the UCL will also play in the UEL if they are eliminated in the group stage. As Roma are favorites to win at the moment but I don't think they are the best. But we cannot underestimate them. The European League has many interesting surprises this season and I am sure we will also see many interesting surprises next season. Seeing the performance of a team from the UCL or an underdog team that can beat a big team is something that we can only see in the European league.
That's right and of course many teams have learned a lot from this season and they must have a view that the opportunity is still there if they try. Atalanta has been the right example this season and the way they beat the top teams could be a complete expense for other teams. But unfortunately Atalanta will not return to the European league and they really deserve to appear in the champions league.

Now there is still a lot of time that other teams can play before the competition resumes and each of them is certainly very enthusiastic about welcoming the new season. There will be several regular teams and also new teams joining the European league and this will give it its own color later. Roma may not be the best but they could win this title after sleeping for a long time.

There has been a polemic since the emergence of VAR, causing clubs in the EPL to re-vote whether this technology is worthy of being included in the competition and the latest news is that the EPL will still use this technology starting next season. Of course we remember that there have been so many unfair incidents on the pitch due to controversial VAR decisions that this must be reviewed.

But in the end, the EPL also understands that this technology is very important for the progress of football, regardless of the positive and negative sides. All EPL teams seem to agree to continue using VAR, but there is only one team that does not agree with this re-vote, namely Wolves. I don't know the obvious reason, it seems like they always become victims and I think that's a natural thing and every team has experienced it.

Modric has signed another contract extension. The contract is for one more season in Madrid expires in June 2025. Modric has decided to take opposite decision than his team mate kroos caused by he loeves to keep play for real madrid. I'm glad to know the legend is still planning to stay for another season considering he has bene contributing a lot even though his age is old enough as a football player. He can also quit Real Madrid at any time. Modric demonstrated his desire to stay at Real Madrid.

I'm simply thinking about the major reason Modric wants to stay for another season: to widen the gap between Barcelona and the rest of UCL owners. Modric has six trophies, whereas Lona has only five. It's clear that Modric wants to add another UCL trophy next season.
Having mbappe in real madrd makes the club much more awesome than before. Congratulation, Modric. I hope you can enjoy the end of your time at Real Madrid.

As expected and indeed this is the move that Modric wants to stay for another season. I think as long as his performance is consistent and his work as a veteran at the club does not interfere with the potential of other young players then he is worth keeping. This is necessary so that young players can follow their mentality on the field so the right person is needed to handle this.

Maybe another reason why Modric chose to stay is because he really loves Real Madrid and wants to retire after his contract ends. Meanwhile, why Kroos, who is a little younger, decided to retire is because the reason is quite clear, his family, especially his children, want to spend time with him and Kroos has actually had health problems for a long time which means he can't play football any longer. Therefore Modric was the one who had to replace him.

Lille got a new coach, Bruno Genesio, which used to train Lyon until 2019 then Rennes.
It was announced that Paulo Fonseca quit the team after the end of his contract and he has intentions to return to Serie A and be the coach of AC Milan and took the place of Stefano Pioli.
Rennes this season wasn't top comparing to the previous one and the new coach has a clear objective since the beginning of the league and it is get a place in UEFA Champions League groups.
Even though Lille had a pretty good season here and the question remains why Lille didn't try to persuade Paulo Fonseca to stay and give him a contract extension. Even if there is a request from management and the players, he should be willing to stay, but if his desire is to coach a bigger team then that cannot be stopped.

Every coach wants to be successful in a big team and like Paulo Fonseca, he will try his luck if he coaches Milan in the future. On the other hand, Bruno Genesio certainly has a big responsibility after the departure of the previous Lille coach and whether or not he can consistently bring Lille into the top four competition will still be quite a difficult process.

Manchester City will win the EPL again next season and no doubt about that. This is undeniably true given the city's current consistency in the EPL by winning it 4 times in a row has proven how city must be winning it soon. City will soon become a serious contender to win the competition. I believe no club will be able to compete with Manchester City next season considering pep is also strengthening its squad.
Im not believing arsenal to compete again next season. I'd rather than take other club for this. Chelsea and liverpool will comeback stronger under their new coaches.


That will still happen as long as Pep is still the coach of Manchester City, but the question is whether after Pep leaves, Manchester City will still be able to win the EPL? I think the answer is 80% no for Manchester City because Pep's role is that big for this club. I really admire Pep with his philosophy and it will be very difficult for Manchester City to find a replacement.

We will still see Pep at Manchester City next season and maybe it will be the 5th title in a row for Manchester City and even though there are many new coaches next season this will not change the fact that with Pep Manchester City will still dominate the EPL. Arsenal is only a team holding trophies and in the middle of the season as we know they will find it increasingly difficult to maintain their consistency.

The Real Madrid team performed very well last season as well, and are well suited to win the title. But Real Madrid have been short of strikers for a long time, unable to find a suitable striker since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. 
But now Mbappe has found enough young strikers and the pace of the game is so good that the Real Madrid team will roar again and perform even better next season since taking over at Real Madrid. However, the attack department of Real Madrid team has become much stronger, now they are ready to fight against any team.


Precisely after Benzema left, because after Ronaldo left they still had Benzema who played a very important role on Real Madrid's front line. Fortunately, when they lack a striker, other players can play a role in being productive in scoring goals, so that when they don't have a striker, the void is not felt enough because they can still be productive in scoring goals.

Now that they have Mbappe, they will be even stronger. However, we also have to see whether Mbappe can play his role well, or whether he needs more time to adapt. However, I am sure that with his abilities he will be one of the players who can adapt quickly to his new team's game. If Mbappe manages to show his best game, then we can imagine how terrible Real Madrid will be on the front lines. And that could also be an asset for them to reclaim the Champions League title next season.
The departure of these Real Madrid legends made fans very worried and fortunate that the transition process which took a long time, everything went quite smoothly. Until Benzema finally left, what was initially doubtful was all answered by the brilliant performance of the Los Blancos squad this season. I don't know what would happen if management made the wrong decision and they could still manage it well with Ancelotti.

Regarding Mbappe, I think he has no problem adapting to his new club and maybe that will allow him to have more freedom with his creativity. We know that at PSG in recent years, he was not very comfortable, which made him not use all his abilities and at the time of his announcement to Real Madrid yesterday in every interview or via his official account, his face looked brighter and that also indicated that he would play with seriously next season.

Antonio Conte's happy face is clearly visible and he will become Napoli coach starting next season with a contract duration of 3 years. This time Napoli have done the right thing by choosing Antonio Conte as their new coach and not like before, who was always in a rush to choose a coach which resulted in Napoli's bad results this season.
We can understand if he looks happy because he knows Napoli is a good team and he will be suitable to manage the team. It is quite long contracts, I just hope he will stay in Napoli until the contract is over. With a great experience of Conte in Serie A, it is very smart decision to choose him as a new coach of Napoli. I think Napoli president finally realizes that they need a big coach to manage Napoli again.

Certainly Antonio Conte will come with a clearer mind and crazier ideas considering that he has had quite a long time to rest. This is actually beneficial for Napoli because they get an experienced coach who was not previously subjected to excessive pressure from the previous team.

I think Antonio Conte used this rest time well so that when there was an offer to manage a club again, he was ready to fight and there were no doubts that arose. The owner of Napoli feels like he knows what mistakes he made this season that put Napoli in a position they shouldn't be in and because of his guilt he has to get a quality coach and the answer is Antonio Conte. Can't wait to see Antonio Conte on the sidelines and I quite like him when he starts screaming or is happy when his players score goals.

Laporta is also aware of how much more difficult their job is going to be against Real Madrid after the Mbappe signing. They were already struggling considering the most recent season. But from now on even a tougher work is waiting for Hansi Flick compared to Xavi's times. Maybe I said before I don't know but I don't expect Mbappe to have much problem on adapting to Real Madrid.  Smiley

He is already among superstar players and this kind of players are the best with dealing with such changes. Yeah maybe Messi needed some time at PSG but after that he continued to perform impressively there as well.
This is very appropriate and perhaps Hansi Flick will have great difficulties in his first season managing Barcelona with such tight competition with Real Madrid. The difference in player quality is very unequal and it is very difficult for Hansi Flick to match Real Madrid with the current squad.

Mbappe already knows so many players at Real Madrid before such as Vini and Rodrygo so there will be no problems for this side in the formation and only emphasizes more intense coordination with players from other positions. It seems that Real Madrid's dominance will continue and Barcelona will not be able to stop them as long as they don't have a comparable squad.

If only Antonio Conte had arrived sooner, it is possible that Napoli would not have had an unlucky season and instead they could have still managed to compete with other teams in the top four. However, since he stopped coaching Spurs, Antonio Conte prefers to enjoy his time with his family and because of that he has been away from the sidelines for quite some time. Well, let's see if Antonio Conte can bring Napoli to its best performance again.
