Next Tottenham Hotspur manager — Ranking the contenders for Spurs hot seat
Who will be the next Tottenham Hotspur manager following the firing of Ange Postecoglou in North London? One thing's for sure — the standards will be high and excuses not tolerated. MORE — USMNT's Cardoso reportedly nears Atleti move Postecoglou was canned by chairman Daniel Levy despite the club's Europa League triumph — their first trophy in 17 years — as an injury-ravaged season saw Tottenham Hotspur focus on the UEL at the expense of the Premier League. Their 17th-place finish was shocking even as Manchester United also plumbed their modern depths in domestic play. But that's in the past now. Who's next? Next Tottenham Hotspur manager — Ranking the contenders for Spurs hot seat No longer the England boss, could Southgate take a Premier League head job for the first time since leaving Middlesbrough in 2009? James Maddison and Dominic Solanke will be familiar with the ex-Three Lions coach. The one-time Spurs boss and current USMNT manager reportedly has a buyout clause that nears $20 million, and it would seem kinda ridiculous to rehire Pochettino, who famously didn't win silverware despite a colorful and positive time in North London, after firing the guy who ended their trophy drought. He just won a trophy, so he's got that going for him. And Glasner could have his head turned by the chance to scoot across town for a bigger budget and a place in the UEFA Champions League. He's well-regarded, and might just be able to bring over some familiar faces from Crystal Palace. More likely to leave his Premier League club than Glasner after the Cherries missed out on Europe, he's a system guy and the results of his time at Bournemouth promise that more resources could deliver even better results. We hate to say that a huge move from a club that hails your every move is an easy decision or a simple one — but there's a reason Frank is being eyeballed as a favorite here. Brentford play attractive football and punch above their weight. Frank would surely love the opportunity to throw haymakers from a favored position. Other names mentioned? Manuel Pellegrini (Real Betis), Xavi Hernandez (unattached), Kieran McKenna (Ipswich Town), Simone Inzaghi (unattached), Eddie Howe (Newcastle United), Brendan Rodgers (Celtic)

💥 David, Gyökeres updates, Reijnders replacement: today's transfers 🤑
The Italian football transfer market scene is dominated by the issue concerning Inter's bench, still searching for Simone Inzaghi's successor. Obviously, there are many news items: here, we read the most important ones of the day. Juve-David, the decision is expected soon The Canadian, released from Lille, has long been in the sights of several Italian clubs, with Juventus, Inter, and Napoli among the most interested. The Bianconeri, thanks to the work initiated by Giuntoli, have reached a preliminary agreement on a five-year contract worth 6 million plus 2 in bonuses. Advertisement La Gazzetta dello Sport highlights how - now - it is up to Comolli, the new head of Juventus' market, to close the deal or turn elsewhere. With Inter and Napoli slowed down by other fronts, Juve can take advantage to secure the first big hit of the summer. Milan, who will replace Reijnders? After the sale of Reijnders to Manchester City for 75 million, Milan aims to replace him with a physical and technical profile. The first name, as anticipated by La Gazzetta dello Sport, could be Rabiot, currently at Marseille and linked to Allegri: thanks to an informal agreement, he could leave for 10 million. However, according to Matteo Moretto, the path may not be very feasible, so the alternative is represented by Guendouzi from Lazio, a midfielder already tested in Serie A and appreciated for his versatility. Meanwhile, Modric has also arrived, but due to his age, he won't be the only reinforcement: another starter is needed to complete the department. Inter, Correa very close to Botafogo Correa is one step away from transferring to Botafogo. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Argentine striker has reached a preliminary agreement with the Brazilian club coached by Jorge. Advertisement To close the deal, only the definition of a signing bonus is missing. Barring surprises, therefore, the former Lazio player is ready to start a new adventure in Brazil. Napoli, striker target: from Gyökeres to... Corriere dello Sport takes stock of Napoli's attack situation. The big dream for the Azzurri is Viktor Gyökeres: 54 goals this season with Sporting Lisbon, but with very high costs and competition from the Premier League and Atletico Madrid, he remains in the background. The Bonny track is more concrete: today, sporting director Manna will meet with Parma to negotiate the 21-year-old Frenchman, valued at 25 million. Inter is lurking. Also in the background are Darwin Núñez (with Atletico ready for an auction) and Sorloth, who scored 20 goals in La Liga: opportunities to seize in a high-intensity attack market. Roma, Krstovic valued at 25 million Roma is looking at Nikola Krstovic to strengthen the offensive department. The Montenegrin closed his second season at Lecce in double figures and, as reported by Il Corriere dello Sport, has attracted the attention of sporting director Ghisolfi. Advertisement The Giallorossi club follows the profile with interest but does not intend to participate in auctions. Lecce, however, starts with a request of 25 million: the negotiation promises to be complicated. Lazio, hunt for a full-back: Sarri will decide Awaiting Sarri's official return scheduled for Thursday, Lazio reflects on the summer market, with particular attention to the left-back role. Nuno Tavares and Pellegrini will be evaluated in retreat, but in the meantime, the club is monitoring two alternatives: Fabiano Parisi, already followed during his time at Empoli, and Junior Firpo, who could arrive on a free transfer. Milan has backed off, leaving space for Lazio to make a move. Fiorentina, sensational: Fatih Terim offered Among the hypotheses for Fiorentina's technical guidance, the name of Fatih Terim emerges. According to the former Viola coach, now at Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia, has been proposed to the Tuscan club. Advertisement Terim, turning 72 in September, is one of the most successful coaches in Turkish history. In Florence, he left a good memory despite the few months of his first stint, thanks to the brilliant play displayed. A return that would have the flavor of a suggestion.

Less stress, more swagger: QB Nathan Rourke aiming to have fun with new-look Lions
VANCOUVER - Nathan Rourke is trying to add a little something to his game this season — the B.C. Lions quarterback wants to have more fun. 'That's a little bit of a goal for myself, trying to play a little bit more loose and not take things so seriously. So, trying to have a little bit more fun out there,' he said. 'And when you try to have fun, you probably end up doing that and actually having fun.' Last season didn't go the way Rourke or the Lions expected. The Canadian QB wasn't on B.C.'s roster to start the campaign as he worked to land a permanent job in the NFL. He re-signed with the Lions — where he had a standout campaign in 2022 — in mid-August, but struggled in his return. B.C. finished with a 9-9 regular-season record. Vancouver hosted the Grey Cup, but hopes of a home-team win were quashed when the Saskatchewan Roughriders downed the Lions in the West semifinal. B.C. will kick off a new campaign on Saturday when they host a revamped Edmonton Elks side. With a full training camp behind him and new head coach Buck Pierce at the helm, the 27-year-old Rourke believes this year could be different. 'I feel good. Body feels good. I'm excited about Buck's offence,' he said. 'It's been fun to practice these last couple of days and in training camp. Guys are excited about it. So hopefully that excitement just continues and turns into points.' Pierce, a former CFL quarterback and longtime assistant coach with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, was named B.C.'s head coach and offensive coordinator in December, replacing Rick Campbell. The entire league has long envied the offence Pierce crafted for the Blue Bombers, said Lions defensive back Garry Peters. 'They've been our rivals for so long, so I've admired him from afar. For him to finally be on my side, I can just pick his brain and learn as much as I can about the way they did things over there. Because obviously they're a championship program,' he said. 'For him to bring that over here and instil that in us, it gets me excited and gives me hope that we can do special things this year.' Pierce helped the Bombers to five straight Grey Cup appearances, including wins in 2019 and 2021. Having him in charge has injected a new sense of confidence into the Lions' players, said receiver Keon Hatcher. 'I feel like, especially in the offensive, the skill positions, we're very excited about what he's bringing to the table as an offensive coordinator, as a head coach, calling the plays and stuff like that,' he said. 'I feel like he puts us in a great position to make plays. And I just can't say enough about how excited we are just to learn this offence and be able to go out there and put on a display during the season.' After nearly a month getting to know his team at training camp in Kamloops, B.C., Pierce believes what could set his team apart this season is their competitive spirit. 'Ever since training camp got here, they're pushing each other. I think when you look at the way they interact, the way they communicate, they're really doing a good job of talking to each other, putting themselves in positions to be successful,' the coach said. 'Everybody's talented at this level. And we have talented guys, just like everybody else. That's what I keep talking to them about — what are we willing to do that other teams aren't willing to do? If you want to be successful, you've got to put the work in. And I'm proud of this group because they're workers.' B.C. also made changes to its front office in December, elevating Ryan Rigmaiden from assistant general manager to general manager. He responded with a series of off-season moves, including dealing veteran QB Vernon Adams Jr. to the Calgary Stampeders, signing former Toronto Argonaut Dejon Allen to add size and toughness to the offensive line in free agency, and bringing running back James Butler back into the fold following two seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The current group is a good mix of young talent and veteran leaders, said Peters, who's heading into his 10th season with the Lions. 'Every year, everybody thinks their team is going to go to the Grey Cup. And it's no different this year for us,' he said. 'But just us going through the process and focusing more on the details, the details are the most important thing. So for me, seeing all the guys focusing more on the details, it just gets me excited for what's to come.' 2024 record: 9-9-0, third, West Division Did you know?: Rap icon and noted sports fan Snoop Dogg will perform before the Lions' season opener on Saturday. More than 50,000 fans are expected to take in the concert — and the game — at B.C. Place. Key additions: RB James Butler (Hamilton), OL Dejon Allen (Toronto), LB Micah Awe (Calgary), QB Jeremiah Masoli (Ottawa) Key losses: QB Vernon Adams Jr. (Calgary), WR Alexander Hollins (free agent), FB David Mackie (retired), RB William Stanback (Ottawa), LB Ryder Varga (Toronto) Players to watch: Rourke, Butler, DL Mathieu Betts, WR Justin McInnis This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 6, 2025.
