Brian Priske returns to Sparta Prague as coach after a stint at Feyenoord
Priske started at Sparta three years ago and immediately led the struggling team to its first title in nine years. He successfully defended the title last year and completed a double by winning the Czech Cup.
Under Priske, Sparta reached the round of 16 in the Europa League where it was eliminated by Liverpool in the 2023-24 season.
Last summer, Sparta agreed to release Priske before the end of his contract to take over at Feyenoord when Arne Slot became the Liverpool manager.
Priske led Feyenoord in 33 games in all competitions, won the Dutch Super Cup and advanced from the league phase of the Champions League but was fired in February due to inconsistent results in the domestic league.
Priske replaces his former assistant Lars Friis, who was fired after Sparta's fourth-place finish in the Czech league.
'Now, I'm back with at least the same hunger as before — maybe even more,' Priske said.

Can the Gamecocks turn last season's momentum into a breakthrough year behind Sellers?
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Shane Beamer and the 13th-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks are hoping to parlay momentum from last season's strong finish into a breakthrough 2025 campaign. The Gamecocks won their final six games last year before losing to Illinois 21-17 in the Citrus Bowl to finish 9-4 after barely missing out on the College Football Playoff. This year marks the first time South Carolina has been ranked in preseason AP Top 25 since 2014, when they debuted at No. 9. That brings added pressure to the Gamecocks, who'll look to navigate a brutal schedule that includes six games against Top 25 teams: Clemson (No. 4), Alabama (8), LSU (9), Oklahoma (18), Texas A&M (19) and Ole Miss (21). Beamer, who is 29-22 in four years at South Carolina and 15-17 against conference foes, said it is a welcome change. 'Yeah, I'd rather be ranked high and have those expectations than not,' Beamer said,. 'As a coach, when you're not ranked high, like we were last year, it's great because you can use that as fuel and motivation. But we want to be a team that's consistently ranked high in the top 10, top 15, going into every single season.' Senior defensive lineman Nick Barrett arrived in Columbia three years ago when the Gamecocks were coming off a 2-8 season, so he's seen the steady rise of the program. 'We just continue to come in with a chip on our shoulder, the team, to get better,' Barrett said. 'That last season was last season. We understand that's a whole different story; it's a whole new team. We gotta do something different this year. We can't just live off last year.' Selling high Much of the optimism surrounding the Gamecocks revolves around returning starting quarterback LaNorris Sellers, who threw for 2,534 yards and 18 touchdowns with seven interceptions in 2024. The versatile Sellers also ran for 674 yards and seven scores, including a 75-yard scamper against LSU. 'If you had a good season the year before and your quarterback returns, you're probably going to be ranked pretty high,' Beamer said. 'And that's what we are.' ESPN projected Sellers as a mid-first round draft pick in 2026 in its recent mock draft. But the QB said he's not worried about playing at the next level right now, insisting his focus is on 'keeping my head down' and getting better on a daily basis. 'I know how much work I had to put in to get there, but I could also lose it quick,' Sellers said. Adde Beamer: 'I think we're going to be better around LaNorris as well on the offense — more depth and competition at pretty much every position. That's going to help him. He doesn't have to be Superman for us. Just continue to be the person he is, the leader that he is, and the player that he is.' Brotherly love Sellers said he is 'super excited' to play with his freshman brother, Jayden Sellers, who joined the school in the spring after enrolling early. Jayden Sellers led South Florence High School to a state championship last season after catching 59 passes for 1,016 yards and 14 touchdowns. He added 485 yards and 10 more TDs on the ground. 'Last time we played together with him was my senior, which was year three years ago,' the elder Sellers said. 'I was always quarterback. He played pretty much everywhere. And in rec league, he played running back, receiver, DB. He played that up until last year, senior year. I think he's fully receiver now. But that's all we used to do, throw a deep field run and he'd catch it.' Stewart of the game The defense will be anchored by 6-foot-5, 245-pound sophomore linebacker Dylan Stewart, who had 6 1/2 sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries last season. He has already been named to the watchlist for the Walter Camp Award and Bronko Nagurski Award given to the nation's top defensive player. Football over Olympics South Carolina wide receiver Nyck Harbor was viewed as an Olympic hopeful after finishing as a second-team All-American last year in the 100 and 200 meters. But Harbor has given up track to focus on football, where he was South Carolina's most targeted receiver last year. 'He's not just your everyday, 'I'm gonna go run the track team and have a good college career.' Like he could have run in the Olympics,' Beamer said. The schedule South Carolina will be challenged right away, opening against ACC foe Virginia Tech in Atlanta. The Gamecocks' schedule really begins to hit its stride in early October when they face five straight Top 25 teams including road games at LSU (Oct. 11), Ole Miss (Nov. 1) and Texas A&M (Nov. 15), and home games vs. Oklahoma (Oct. 18) and Alabama (Oct. 25). The Gamecocks close the season with their traditional rivalry game against Clemson at home on Nov. 28. ___ AP college football: and Sign up for the AP's college football newsletter:

Cellar dwellers no more, Vanderbilt talking and targeting national title yes in football
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nobody is more tired of hearing how Vanderbilt should know its place than coach Clark Lea, and he has joined quarterback Diego Pavia talking about playing for a national championship. Yes, in football. And yes, this season. 'I don't think you can do something until you say it,' Lea said. 'Changing a culture is hard, and this has been an environment that hasn't given way to many winning seasons. … There's nothing about the history of this program to hold us back.' Lea knows well the challenges. He played here himself, and t he Commodores going 7-6 record last season is the program's first winning record since 2013 and just the fourth overall since 1983. Lea believes he has his best team yet in his fifth season. He knows Vandy went 4-4 in games decided by eight points or less last season, including two overtime games. Pavia, who has made headlines all offseason talking about playing for a national title, said that means Vandy was as close to finishing 10-2 as 2-10. Now Vanderbilt faces one of the SEC's toughest road schedules featuring five games against Top 25 teams, three inside the Top 10. Pavia's back The quarterback who made Vanderbilt history by leading an upset of then-No. 1 Alabama got an extra season thanks to a preliminary injunction granted by a federal judge. He threw for 2,293 yards and 20 touchdowns with four interceptions. Pavia also ran for 801 yards and eight more scores. He played with an injured hamstring over the final seven games, and Vanderbilt went 3-4 in that stretch. Eli Stowers The 6-foot-4, 235-pound tight end led Vanderbilt with 49 catches for 638 yards and five touchdowns. He had three games with at least 100 yards receiving. With Pavia back, so is Stowers who is a preseason AP All-American who could be the first tight end taken in the 2026 NFL draft. Three-way 'Dore Martel Hight is hoping to follow the path that took Travis Hunter to a Heisman Trophy last season. Hight had two interceptions and a forced fumble at cornerback last season, and Hight also returned a punt for a touchdown. Now he's practicing at wide receiver, giving Pavia another target. Hight said he played against Hunter in high school when he played both offense and defense. 'Once I seen Travis do it, I was like, 'Hey, Coach, let me do that,'' Hight said. The schedule The Commodores open Aug. 30 hosting Charleston Southern followed by September visits from Georgia State and Utah State. The rest is a lot tougher, including a two-game road swing starting Sept. 6 at Virginia Tech and then No. 13 South Carolina. The true gauntlet starts Oct. 4 with a visit to No. 8 Alabama, back-to-back home games against No. 9 LSU on Oct. 18 and Missouri on Oct. 25 capped by a trip to No. 1 Texas on Nov. 1. The season finale is Nov. 29 at No. 24 Tennessee. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP college football: and

Atalanta signs Poland wing-back Nicola Zalewski after short stay at Inter Milan
BERGAMO, Italy (AP) — Atalanta has signed Nicola Zalewski with the Poland wing-back leaving Inter Milan after just seven months and 17 games, including a Champions League final. Atalanta did not disclose a transfer fee in the deal announced late Monday for the 23-year-old Zalewski. It was reported to be 17 million euros ($20 million). That would be about 10 million euros ($11.7 million) profit for Inter which signed Zalewski on loan from Roma in February. The move was made permanent with a 6.3 million euro ($7.4 million) deal in June, while the club was in the United States at the Club World Cup. Inter lost in the round of 16 against Fluminense. Zalewski will stay in the Champions League this season after Atalanta qualified by placing third in Serie A. In the final last season, he came on as a second-half substitute in Inter's 5-0 loss against Paris Saint-Germain. The Italy-born Zalewski has played 29 times for Poland including two games at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and two at the 2024 European Championship in Germany Atalanta said Zalewski is its fifth offseason signing for the club, which is majority-owned by United States investor Stephen Pagluica. The team is now coached by Ivan Jurić after the inspirational Gian Piero Gasperini left to join Roma after nine years in Bergamo that brought the 2024 Europa League title.
