The 35-year-old assistant coach has agreed to take over as the head coach of Brazilian club Botafogo, marking a significant step forward in his career.
Following Carlo Ancelotti's confirmed departure from Real Madrid this summer, Davide had been actively exploring opportunities to take the next step in his coaching path.

Belgian rider Merlier wins Tour de France third stage, Pogačar finishes safely

DUNKERQUE, France — Belgian rider Tim Merlier won the third stage of the Tour de France in a photo finish and Mathieu Van der Poel kept the yellow jersey on Monday. Defending champion Tadej Pogačar and two-time winner Jonas Vingegaard — the main contenders — finished safely as they rolled in together with the main pack. When the sprinters turned for home into a strong headwind, several crashed near the line at top speeds of 65 kph (40 mph). Merlier just got the front of his wheel in front of Italian Jonathan Milan as they lunged to the line. German rider Phil Bauhaus was third. It was Merlier's second career stage win on the Tour, four years after his first, which also came on Stage 3. 'It was a big battle and it was difficult to maintain my position, I came from very far back in the last two kilometers,' he said. 'When I found myself next to Milan, I knew it would be complicated to beat him.' Van der Poel, who rides for the Alpecin-Deceuninck team, did not contest the sprint the day after narrowly beating Pogacar to win Sunday's rainy and hilly second stage. Riders set off on Monday in wet conditions and wore light rain jackets on a 178-kilometer (110-mile) flat route from Valenciennes to the coastal city of Dunkerque. The pace was slower than the two first days but the conditions were treacherous and, about 50 kilometers from the end, Stage 1 winner Jasper Philipsen abandoned. The Alpecin-Deceuninck rider was knocked over by Frenchman Bryan Coquard and landed heavily on his side. Coquard was not to blame, however, as he lost balance only after being clipped by a rider overtaking him on the right. 'I've seen the images again, I really didn't know what happened in the moment,' Coquard said. 'I would like to say sorry to Philipsen and Alpecin, even if it was not an intentional act.' Another crash with three kilometers left felled double Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel, who was able to continue. Then, with the finish in sight, a few more crashed — including Coquard, who somersaulted off his bike. Tuesday stage is hilly The 174-kilometer fourth stage is another hilly one for allrounders like Van der Poel and his former cyclo-cross rival Wout van Aert. It starts from Amiens and ends with five consecutive small climbs to the Normandy city of Rouen. This race is entirely in France, with no stages held abroad as in previous years, and ends on July 27 in Paris.

Tour de France Stage 3 results, standings: Tim Merlier wins race featuring serious crash

Stage 3 of the 2025 Tour de France featured a gruesome crash by one Belgian cyclist and came down to a massive sprint to the finish line won by one of his countrymen. Tim Merlier edged out Italian Jonathan Milan to win Monday's stage, which ended with a dramatic sprint that was extended from 3 km to 5km with a large peloton throughout the mostly flat terrain over the more than 178 km between Valenciennes and Dunkirk. Belgian cyclist Jasper Philipsen, who began Monday wearing the green jersey and ranked seventh in the overall chase for the yellow jersey, suffered a serious crash that forced him to withdraw from the Tour de France two days after winning its opening stage. He fell hard from his bike after contact with Bryan Coquard during the intermediate sprint portion of the stage won by Milan, who replaced Philipsen as the green jersey leader with 81 points. Philipsen had his jersey ripped in several places, suffered bloody scrapes and was attended to by the race doctor shortly afterward, according to Reuters. Mathieu Van der Poel of the Netherlands, who won the sprint to end stage 2 on Sunday, kept the yellow jersey. Tim Wellons of Germany claimed the polka dot jersey and the only available climbing point during stage 3 when he finished first over to the summit of Mont Cassel.

Piraeus Recognised as Greece's Best Performing Bank in The Banker's 2025 Rankings

ATHENS, Greece--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Piraeus (ATHEX: TPEIR) (OTCQX:BPIRY) has been recognised as Greece's Best Performing Bank in The Banker's 2025 Top 1000 World Banks rankings, the globally respected benchmark of banking strength published annually by the Financial Times. Piraeus secured the top spot in Greece for overall performance, achieving #1 positions in both operational efficiency and risk adjusted return. The Banker's Top 1000 World Banks performance rankings evaluate banks using a composite of metrics that go beyond Tier 1 capital. These include efficiency, asset quality, liquidity, and return, offering a broader view of sustainable banking performance. The data is sourced from banks' latest financial filings and assessed independently by The Banker's editorial and research team. Used by central banks, strategists and senior decision-makers in 94 countries, these rankings remain the most comprehensive measure of global banking strength, covering over 130 performance indicators and tracking $150 trillion in assets. Christos Megalou, Chief Executive Officer of Piraeus, commented, 'This recognition reflects the consistent, disciplined work across our organisation to improve efficiency, manage risk and deliver strong results for our clients and stakeholders. Being ranked first in overall performance is a testament to our team's efforts and to Piraeus' strength, resilience and leadership in our primary market. It demonstrates that our strategy is working and that our commitment to long-term value creation is resonating both within Greece and internationally.' The Banker notes that 2024 brought mixed results for European lenders, with pre-tax profits falling across the region and asset growth subdued. Greek banks, by contrast, have returned to profitability after a decade of restructuring, with Piraeus standing out for its strength in core performance metrics. Piraeus' performance in The Banker's rankings follows a period of focused execution across the Bank, from operating discipline to risk-adjusted returns. Over the past year, Piraeus delivered strong profitability, recording a net profit of €1.1 billion in 2024 and a return on tangible book value of 15%. The Bank continued to strengthen its balance sheet, growing its performing loan book by a leading market rate of 12%, to nearly €35 billion. Assets under management continued to grow at more than 20% per year, currently above €12 billion. These results underline the significant progress made in reinforcing the Bank's foundations and highlight its important role in supporting the Greek economy through stable, responsible, and forward-looking banking.
