Houcine Ammouta Parts Ways with Al Jazira
Al Jazira have confirmed the departure of head coach Houcine Ammouta following the club's defeat to Khorfakkan. The Emirati side announced the termination of his contract this week, thanking Ammouta and his backroom staff for their work and wishing them success in the future. The loss to Khorfakkan, in which Moroccan forward Tarik Tissoudali scored once and provided two assists, appears to have been a decisive factor. Ammouta joined Al Jazira in the summer of 2024 on a two-year deal, aiming to restore the club to the top of Emirati football. His spell, however, ends less than a year later. The 55-year-old has enjoyed a notable coaching career. With Jordan, he guided the national team to their first AFC Asian Cup final in 2023 and helped them top their World Cup qualifying group, laying the groundwork for the 2026 qualifiers and the 2027 Asian Cup. His approach, based on possession, high pressing and quick transitions, proved highly effective, bringing the best out of players such as Musa Al-Tamari and Yazan Al-Naimat. He stepped down from the Jordan post in June 2024 for personal reasons. His successor, Jamal Sellami, later led the side to their first World Cup qualification, building on the foundations Ammouta left behind. Tags: Al JaziraAmmoutaUAE

Brahim Díaz: Xabi Alonso's Secret Weapon Ahead of Opener
Real Madrid will begin their LaLiga season on August 19 with a visit to Osasuna, and coach Xabi Alonso faces a key decision over his starting lineup. The side must field a strong eleven against a team known for its resilience, and Brahim Díaz could be key. The right-wing spot has been the main question. Preseason suggested Arda Güler or Brahim Díaz, with Rodrygo also in contention. However, Alonso has opted for new signing Franco Mastantuono. The Argentine, signed from River Plate, has impressed in training and is expected to start, reflecting Real Madrid's commitment to integrating young talent immediately. Brahim Díaz, though not starting, remains an important option. Alonso praised the Moroccan's technical quality, vision, and ability in tight spaces. He said: 'I found Brahim in good shape. I knew him before and I understand well the difference he can make, and the way he reads his position on the pitch.' He added: 'In tight spaces, he is an excellent player. So his level did not surprise me.' Alonso's comments underline Díaz's role as a key contributor this season, whether as a substitute or in other matches. Competition with Díaz, Güler, and Rodrygo is expected to keep the squad sharp throughout the campaign. Real Madrid face Osasuna tomorrow at 20:00 GMT+1, aiming to start the new LaLiga season strongly, blending experience and emerging talent. Tags: Brahim Diazla ligaosasunaReal MadridXabi Alonso
