Iconic club who Pep Guardiola played for booted out of the league after 114 years
FAMOUS Italian club Brescia have been booted out of the country's professional leagues for the first time in their 114-year history. The former Serie A side is now facing EXTINCTION due to financial problems and is close to declaring bankruptcy. 3 3 The Italian Football Federation - also knows as the FIGC - announced on Thursday that they withdrew the club's professional status and license. The FIGC released the following statement: "The FIGC Federal Council takes note of the refusal to grant Brescia Calcio a national license for the 2025-2026 season and therefore to accept it to play the 2025-2026 Serie C season." Brescia started this season in Serie B but failed to pay debts of more than £2.5million. The Lombardy giants were promoted to Serie A in 2019 but were relegated the very next season. Things went from bad to worse last term as they were deducted four points amid their financial woes, which saw them drop to Serie C. Rolando Maran's side initially managed to secure their place in Serie B as they finished 15th. However, Brescia were hit with an eight-point penalty - four for this past season and another four for the next one - due to administrative offences. That saw them drop to 18th place, which ultimately led to relegation to the third division. Brescia are owned by Massimo Cellino, who was in charge of Leeds between 2014 and 2017 before buying the Italian side eight years ago. Cellino had a troubled tenure in Yorkshire and left amid fan protests and much discontent. Sean Dyche reveals what Pep Guardiola said to Steve Bruce about Lionel Messi that left him in tears Now Brescia are facing a very uncertain future that could see them disappear altogether. This is a famous Italian club that has seen a raft of legendary players wear the jersey. That includes current Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who is part of a rich alumni page that includes Roberto Baggio, Andrea Pirlo, Luca Toni, Marek Hamsik and Mario Balotelli.

Kate Moss, 51, stuns in a leopard print silk romper before changing into a chainmail dress as she celebrates Donatella Versace's final collection
Kate Moss posed alongside 25 models to celebrate the release of Donatella Versace's final collection on Thursday as she prepares to bid farewell to the fashion house. The model, 51, stunned in a leopard print silk romper before changing into an iconic a gold chainmail dress. She teamed the animal print number with a pair of black opaque stockings and leather fingerless gloves. Kate's second look, a cowl neck chainmail midi dress, with a thigh-high leg slit was paired with embellished strappy heels. She was joined by the likes of Claudia Schiffer and Amber Valetta for the campaign, all dressed in Donatella's signature metallic dresses. Speaking about the photoshoot on her Instagram, Donatella wrote: 'The energy was extraordinary. The dresses reflect the light radiating from these amazing women. She added: 'It was all about friendship, loyalty and love, created to celebrate the soul of the Versace woman. 'Every collection is a story, and this is the story of Versace, inspiring the present and anticipating the future.' The Italian fashionista has stood down as creative director in March, a job she has held since her brother Gianni's death in 1997 and has been replaced by Dario Vitale seven years after Capri Holdings purchased Versace. They announced her departure on their Instagram and revealed that Donatella, who is the flamboyant face of the firm, will assume the role of chief brand ambassador from April 1 - a far lesser role, say fashion observers. 'In her new role she will dedicate herself to the support of Versace's philanthropic and charitable endeavours and remain an advocate for the brand globally.' Speaking of her exit, Donatella said: 'Championing the next generation of designers has always been important to me. 'It's been the greatest honour of my life to carry on my brother Gianni's legacy. He was the true genius but I hope to have some of his spirit and tenacity.' Sources close to both parties say that things have been 'very difficult' between Donatella and Capri for some time despite her being hailed as the saviour of the brand by attracting A list celebrities to wear her clothes and post about them on Instagram. Mica Argañaraz wore an off-the-shoulder skater dress from the collection In the last year alone Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter have worn the designs, as well as Anne Hathaway and Lady Gaga. Her following consists of new talent like Lil Nas X, Taylor, Miley Cyrus, K-Pop Stars as well as Hollywood legends who she continues to work with the likes of Angelina Jolie, Sir Elton John and Cher. She also designed the iconic green Versace silk chiffon dress which Jennifer Lopez wore to the 42nd Grammy Awards ceremony on February 23 2000 and rewore it in 2019. Donatella is the most followed fashion designer in the world on social media with over 12 million followers A fashion insider told the Mail: 'Versace now faces an enormous risk without her. Versace is now Donatella-less Versace and that now begs the question that without her designs and relationships with talent, who will wear the brand now? 'She has had a huge cultural impact in the fashion world that she has even watched her own creations have a rebirth, like JLo's green dress 'Donatella has always been the curator of talent around Versace - she brought in Madonna, Whitney and others during the Gianni era and continues to do that to this day - truly a pop culture barometer. How many female designers have grown a company that is worth $2.1 billion dollars?

England vs India, second Test, day three: Score and updates from Edgbaston
England's reply got off to a woeful start as they slipped to 25-3, as Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Zak Crawley all fell cheaply. Duckett and Pope fell in consecutive deliveries to Akash Deep; Duckett for a five-ball duck after his 149 in the second innings of the first Test at Headingley and Pope, also a centurion in the first Test, to a golden duck. Joe Root (18 not out) and Harry Brook (30 not out) guided England to the close without losing another wicket but not without the odd scare. Although the deficit for England currently looks enormous, they have won all three matches that they have conceded 500 or more runs in an innings during the Stokes/McCullum regime. Speaking after the second day's play, England's spin bowling coach Jeetan Patel has said the group are not fussed about any external noise. 'I do not think you reflect on what has happened. Hindsight is hindsight. We decided to bowl and we will stick by that. On the first day it showed enough for us and we created a lot of opportunities and it did not go our way. The day might have looked different yesterday and this morning if we got those decisions. People are going to look at any scorecard and make a decision on what they are going to think. I am not really fussed and I do not think any of us are fussed about what is said outside of the group. 'We will try to find another way to get over the line. That is the beauty of the team that we have and the players that we have and the belief they have in how they want to play the game. There are still three days of cricket left and there is lots of cricket to go. On a fast-scoring ground, you never know what can happen. We have got two of the greatest batters in the world at the crease at the moment. Hopefully they go back in, and really cash in on what could be a good day's cricket for England.'
