Injury Round-Up

 

 

Managerial Changes

Lazio have confirmed that Maurizio Sarri, the former Chelsea and Napoli head coach, will be taking charge of the Roman side for next season. Despite winning Serie A in his one season in charge, Sarri was sacked by Juventus in August.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have appointed Bruno Lage, a former Benfica boss, as their new head coach. Lage has worked in English football in the past as assistant to Carlos Carvalhal at Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City.

Celtic have ended their long pursuit of a new manager by appointing Ange Postecoglou. Postecoglou had previously been in charge of Brisbane Roar, which became nicknamed Roarcelona due to their style of play, though it did not transition successfully to his time as Australia's national manager. Until today the Greek-born Australian has been in charge of Japanese J-League side Yokohama F Marinos.

 

Disciplinary Charges

Russia has sent an official complaint to UEFA over the new Ukraine kit featuring a map of the country including the Crimea, which Russia annexed by force in 2014. UEFA have responded by ordering Ukraine to remove the "political slogan" 'Glory to the heroes' from the kits. That slogan is stitched on the inside of the shirt collar, while 'Glory to Ukraine! is on the back of the shirts.

UEFA have rejected Paris Saint-Germain's appeal against Idrissa Gana Gueye's suspension. The PSG midfielder will have to miss two European games next season.

The six Premier League clubs who were involved in the European Super League have agreed to pay a combined "goodwill" payment of £22m. If they attempt to do anything similar in the future, they will be fined £25m and be deducted 30 points.

Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana's ban for doping has been reduced to 9 months.

 


Bundesliga Player Admits Playing Under False Identity

After controversy earlier this year, when this year's Bundesliga rookie of the season Silas Wamangitukais was questioned over his identity, the truth has finally come out. The Democratic Republic of Congo born forward has admitted he used a false identity, claiming it was under pressure from his former representative, and that fear for his family back home had made him go along with the lie. Stuttgart say they have been working with Wamangitukais and his new agent, and received official documentation from the DR Congo a few days ago. Silas Wamangitukais is really called Silas Katompa Mvumpa and was a born a year earlier than his original documents stated.
