Wolfsburg Sack Ralph Hasenhuettl After Borussia Dortmund Thumping
Bundesliga side Wolfsburg on Sunday sacked manager Ralph Hasenhuettl, a day after a 4-0 defeat at Borussia Dortmund. Wolfsburg issued a statement saying the club decided to terminate the Austrian's contract due to "results in the recent months". Wolfsburg have lost six of their past eight games and have won just twice since January. In contention for European football earlier in the season, Wolfsburg have slid to 12th on the table.
Hasenhuettl took over from former coach and current Dortmund boss Niko Kovac in March 2024, after a four-year stint at Premier League side Southampton.

Indian men's team raring to go against Argentina in European Leg of FIH Hockey Pro League
New Delhi [India], June 10 (ANI): The Indian men's hockey team has not had the best start to the European leg of the FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 (Men). While the narrow defeats against the Netherlands are now in the past, the team is now preparing for its next challenge against Argentina in Amsterdam. The two teams have faced each other frequently in recent years, and India holds a favourable record against Argentina. At the Paris 2024 Olympics, the sides played out an entertaining draw. However, in the FIH Hockey Pro League 2023/24 (Men), India defeated Argentina twice -- the second win coming via a shootout. Speaking ahead of the upcoming matches, Indian captain Harmanpreet Singh said, as quoted from Hockey India, 'We are aware of the task at hand in the matches against Argentina. The team is working hard every day in training, and we are confident of doing well. Argentina is a strong team, and at this level, no match is easy.' With six matches remaining in the competition, India currently sits fourth on the points table with 15 points. With a spot at the FIH Hockey World Cup 2026 up for grabs, the Indian Men's Hockey Team is determined to perform well in the remaining fixtures and secure maximum points against tough opponents. Reflecting on the road ahead, Harmanpreet added, 'We are prepared for whatever comes our way. We've prepared well for this tournament and tried various combinations and strategies in the lead-up. We are confident of putting on a strong performance against Argentina.' So far, in the FIH Hockey Pro League (Men), India has never lost a regulation-time match to Argentina. The only defeat came in a shootout in 2022 in Bhubaneswar. With both upcoming fixtures set to be played in Amsterdam, India will aim to maintain its strong record. 'The team has a good track record against Argentina, but we're not taking anything for granted. Those results are in the past -- we need to perform in the present to stay on course for World Cup qualification. The team has been training well, and the coaching staff has been giving us a lot of encouragement. I'm confident we'll deliver strong performances,' Harmanpreet concluded. (ANI)

I want to play my part in celebrating success with these great fans here and will work on myself and with the team every day. And I'm very happy that I'll be wearing the black and yellow jersey at the FIFA Club World Cup,' said Jobe.

He will fly to the USA with Borussia Dortmund on Friday to take part in the FIFA Club World Cup, and during the tournament, he will wear the number 77, as confirmed by the club. Borussia Dortmund Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl said, 'We've known Jobe for several years, and of course we have followed his progress very closely. He has taken another huge step forward in his development over the last year, and even at the age of 19, he has become a real leader. 'His commanding presence in central midfield is remarkable, and he will improve our team in various systems. We're delighted that we were able to complete this deal before the FIFA Club World Cup so that we can see Jobe in our colours for the first time in the USA. He's fit as a fiddle and raring to go – he's determined to forge his own path at Borussia Dortmund and make his mark on how we play, and we're confident that he will do exactly that.'
