Hannover 96 appoint new manager in Christian Titz
The transfer of headcoach Christian Titz from Magdeburg to Hannover is now official: the 96ers pay a reported fee of €500k in order to secure his services for next season. Hannover would have to pay another €200k, if they were to get promoted to the Bundesliga in the 2025/26 season.
Titz has managed Magdeburg for 4,5 years and 165 games while averaging a points-per-game ratio of 1.59. Magdeburg finished the 2024/25 season in 5th place, only missing out on the relegation rank by five points.

Hannover on the other hand finished in 9th - too little for the 96ers who are dreaming of finally returning to the Bundesliga. Hannover's CEO Marcus Mann commented on the Titz transfer:
'Christian Titz has a very clear philosophy and stands for the kind of football we want to see at Hannover 96: courageous, intense and forward-looking. He will also continue our chosen path of integrating and developing young players into the licensed team and fill it with life. Now it's the team's job to work hard from day one together with the coaching team to absorb and internalize the playing idea and bring it onto the pitch.'
The 54-year-old Titz, who requested to leave Magdeburg at the end of the 2024/25 season, also talked about his transfer to Hannover:
'I am grateful that I have been given the trust and responsibility to take over as coach at Hannover 96. Now I'm very excited to get to know the team and the people around it, and I'm looking forward to the city and the people around the club, who we want to involve and take with us on our journey together right from the start.'
Some Championship clubs and Schalke 04 were also interested in Titz's signature, but he decided in favour of Hannover in the end. Titz's contract with Hannover runs until the end of the 2026/27 season.

Barcelona star wins Nations League Goal of the Tournament award

Lamine Yamal. Advertisement Wide-man Lamine is of course fresh off playing a starring role for Spain at the recently-completed Nations League.

(Adam Davy/PA via AP) LONDON (AP) — German qualifier Tatjana Maria proclaimed herself 'Queen of Queen's' after winning the Wimbledon warm-up tournament at the Queen's Club for the biggest title of her career on Sunday. The 37-year-old mother of two claimed her first WTA 500 title with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over eighth-seeded Amanda Anisimova in the grass-court final in London. Advertisement The 86th-ranked Maria won in front of her daughters Charlotte and Cecilia, and her husband and coach Charles-Edouard Maria. 'It means a lot to me," Maria said. 'I'm a good example that even in my age you still can win big trophies. I'm super proud of myself." On the way to her fourth WTA title, she eliminated four top 20 players, including Karolina Muchova, Elena Rybakina and Madison Keys, to become the oldest singles champion on the WTA Tour since 2020, when Serena Williams won the Auckland Classic at age 38. Maria previously won WTA titles on grass at Mallorca in 2018, and triumphed twice on clay in Bogota in 2022 and 2023. Maria, a former Wimbledon semifinalist, will jump to No. 43 in the world rankings on Monday. ___ AP tennis:

📸 Bayern hit Auckland for six in 45 mins, Muller shines 🤯
It was already clear before the kick-off that there wouldn't be a match, but imagining a first half as one-sided as this was practically impossible. Bayern Munich only needed 20 minutes to score four goals against a completely absent Auckland City, and in the final minutes of the first half, the eternal Thomas Muller scored a fifth goal, while Olise closed the set with a beautiful curling shot. Kingsley Coman - probably in his last appearance for Bayern Munich - was the protagonist with a double in the first half. He scored the first goal of the tournament and also the goal that gave the Bavarians a temporary 4-0 lead. In between, there were goals from Sacha Boey, who doubled the lead in the 18th minute with a great counter-attacking shot assisted by the inspired Coman, and two minutes later, the third goal from Michael Olise. In the final minutes, there was also room for Thomas Muller: the German legend will say goodbye to the Club World Cup at the end of the tournament, but in the meantime, he continues to do what he does best and fixed the score at 5-0. Is it over? Not yet, a completely apathetic Auckland City also conceded the sixth goal in the third minute of injury time. The author of the goal is Olise: his curling shot removed the cobwebs from the crossbar and knocked out the New Zealanders. The statistics tell the story of a historic match: 6 goals scored in a single game was the record in 90 minutes for a Club World Cup match. A one-sided half: 0 shots, 0 corners, and 29% possession for Auckland City. Will the boys from Posa come out of the locker room?
