Milan appoint Tare as new sporting director

"We are pleased to welcome Tare to the Rossoneri family. He is the right person to kick-off our reset," Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani said in a statement.
Tare spent 15 years as sporting director at Lazio, overseeing a period that included three Coppa Italia and three Italian Super Cup titles.

Gareth Southgate ‘enjoying life' and not actively seeking management return
Former England boss Sir Gareth Southgate says he is not actively looking at a return to management and was puzzled to see himself linked with the Poland job over the summer. It is 13 months since the former defender called time on his successful eight-year stint as national team boss in the wake of their Euro 2024 final defeat by Spain in Berlin. Southgate led England to back-to-back European Championship finals, as well as runs to the World Cup semi-finals and quarter-finals, after stepping up from the under-21s role in 2016. The 54-year-old suggested during his time out of the game that his next job could be away from football and says he is in no rush to return to the dugout. 'I'm enjoying my life,' Southgate told the PA news agency. 'I've got quite a lot on. 'I'm in the middle of writing a book, I've got several business interests. I do some work on leadership, help with some young coaches. 'But I've also got time to travel and play a bit of golf, play a bit of paddle tennis, so yeah, I'm very much enjoying that balance.' Asked whether he is looking at returning to management or if the future lies in something else, Southgate said: 'You can't say never to anything because 15 years ago I left Middlesbrough and I wasn't certain I would manage then. 'Then I ended up on a strange path into managing the national team. But it's not something I'm actively looking at at the moment.' Southgate's sojourn meant eyebrows were raised when speculation emanated from Poland in June that his return to management could be with their national team. 'I am kind of used to it,' he said of the rumours about him. 'I mean, I was linked with the Poland job, which I knew nothing about, so that was a strange one. 'Something gets written and then it's reported everywhere, but yeah, there's probably a lot of others, but I kind of accept it now for what it is.' Southgate was speaking at the PFA Awards in Manchester, where he picked the PFA Merit Award recognising his contributions to football and achievements with England. Thomas Tuchel is looking to build on those foundations and lead the team to glory at next summer's World Cup and was another in attendance at the event at the Manchester Opera House. 'I think they've obviously got lots of good players,' Southgate said of the current England side. 'There is, as always, some exciting young players coming through. 'It's important for me not to say too much more than that, really, because I don't want to step on Thomas' toes at all.'

The Fifa rule that hands Alexander Isak transfer leverage over Newcastle
The ugly Alexander Isak transfer saga continues to drag on, with a now public back and forth between the striker and Newcastle United, as he tries to force through a move to Liverpool. But there is a little-known Fifa rule on transfers which could play into Isak's hands and provide him some leverage in the dispute. The Diarra ruling It all stems from the Lassana Diarra ruling, when the former France midfielder won his case against Fifa at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) last year. Diarra was able to prove that Fifa's rules were too restrictive on players who wanted to move clubs, forcing them to overcome obstacles and pay significant costs to switch clubs when they desired but their current club did not. Essentially, the CJEU concluded that footballers deserved similar rights to any normal worker who might wish to switch jobs, and that Fifa's rules should comply with EU labour and competition laws. An ongoing class-action lawsuit is attempting to win compensation for the many other players who may have lost earnings by Fifa's unlawful rules. Fifa has since altered its rules in the players' favour, although even these amendments have been criticised by players' union Fifpro for not going far enough to empower players to exit club contracts when they choose. What does article 17 say? What Fifa has done is amend article 17 to permit players to unilaterally terminate their contract without reason, so long as they have been under contract for at least three years, or two if they are 28 or older. Isak is 25 and has been under contract at Newcastle for three years, after joining in the summer of 2022. Under Fifa's new rules, Isak would be permitted to invoke Article 17 next summer – it must be invoked within 15 days of the end of the season. Once the transfer window opens, Isak would then be free to join whichever club he chooses. How much money would Newcastle receive? Newcastle would be entitled to compensation, which would need to be agreed between the clubs. If it couldn't be agreed then the case could be referred to Fifa's Dispute Resolution Chamber, or even the Court of Arbitration for Sport. But Newcastle would be unlikely to receive anything close to the kind of figure that Liverpool have already offered, at around £110m, and which the hierarchy at St James' Park rejected. What happens next? There is no evidence that Isak's representatives have threatened Newcastle with invoking article 17 next summer, but all parties will likely be aware that it is another element to the saga, one that gives Isak an escape route. Isak has set out his stall, perhaps controversially, to burn his bridges with St James' Park in a bid to get his move over the line. Liverpool have already made a significant offer, and must now decide whether to come back with one more at an even higher level. And Newcastle must consider whether Isak really can be integrated back into Eddie Howe's squad, or whether taking the money is the best course of action for all involved.

Double Hibs boost as Legia Warsaw appear to be without duo
They face a Legia side who have had a traumatic build-up to the tie after crashing out of the Europa League to AEK Larnaca, losing to newly-promoted side Wisla Plock at the weekend and their manager Edi Iordanescu being linked with a move to the UAE. And their problems deepened when Belarus striker Shkurin stayed at home in Poland after Legia failed to secure a UK visa for him. Legia stated: "Ilya Shkurin has not travelled to Scotland due to his inability to obtain a visa to the UK for Belarusian citizens at such short notice." Read more: Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the UK government put in place a set of sanctions against Belarus and its citizens and securing a visa for entry, even for sports, can take several weeks. Legia splashed out £1.5 million from fellow Polish club Stal Mielec to land 26-year-old Shkurin in February and he's played in five Europa League ties already this season. Meanwhile, defender Jan Ziolkowski looks on the brink of a move to AS Roma. Legia were open to bringing other clubs to the table but the player has his set on the move to the Serie A giants and a deal is being negotiated, according to Fabrizio Romano. Ziolkowski played at centre back on Sunday as they lost 1-0 to Wisla Plock but doesn't appear to be in the squad for tomorrow, as per UEFA's official squad list.
