Filippo Inzaghi leaves Pisa after historic Serie A promotion
AFP | Rome
Filippo Inzaghi has left Pisa weeks after guiding it to a historic promotion to Serie A, the club announced yesterday.
In a statement, Pisa said it had 'terminated with mutual consent' Inzaghi's contract, which had another two years to run.
The 51-year-old former Italy, AC Milan and Juventus striker is set to stay in the second tier with Palermo.
Italian media reported that Palermo has paid Pisa nearly a million euros to take Inzaghi as the Sicilians, owned by the City Football Group, which also owns Manchester City, attempt their own return to Serie A.
Pisa finished second in Serie B under Inzaghi and gained promotion to the top-flight for the first time in 34 years.
The Tuscan club, whose Arena Garibaldi stadium is in the shadow of the famous leaning tower of Pisa, moved up to Serie A with play-off winner Cremonese and division winner Sassuolo.

Hamilton slams Italian media speculation on Ferrari and Vasseur
Lewis Hamilton on Thursday slammed Italian media speculation that Ferrari are poised to dismiss team boss Fred Vasseur and that he is considering his future with the team as total 'nonsense'. The seven-time world champion asked reporters to 'stop making stuff up' as he delivered an impassioned response to the reports on the eve of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, an event he has won a record-equalling seven times. 'To everyone that's writing stories of me considering not racing, I've literally only just started with Ferrari,' he said during a news conference at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. 'I'm here for several years. I'm here for the long haul so there's no question about where my head's at and what I'm working towards achieving with this team. 'There are zero doubts so, please, stop making up stuff.' Italian media stories had suggested Vasseur was responsible for the team's disappointing start to the season when they had been expected to challenge McLaren for the championship. After nine races, with Hamilton, 40, brought in as a marquee signing to lead a title bid, the team languish 197 points behind McLaren in the teams' title race while Hamilton and Charles Leclerc are winless in a drivers' championship led by the two McLaren drivers. Hamilton said: 'I was made aware of this just before I got here so I've not read the stories and it's definitely not nice to hear that there are stories like that out there. 'Firstly, I love working with Fred. Fred's the main reason I'm in this team and I got the opportunity to be here, for which I'm forever grateful, and we're in this together. 'We're working hard in the background. Things aren't perfect, but for me, as I've said, I'm here to work with the team, but also with Fred. 'I want Fred here. I do believe Fred is the person to take us to the top. So this, ultimately, is nonsense what people have written.'

Hadjar says prospect of promotion to Red Bull is ‘scary'
AFP | Montreal Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar said on Thursday that the prospect of promotion to race alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull was 'scary'. The 20-year-old veteran of only nine Grands Prix this year has been talked of as a possible replacement for Yuki Tsunoda, who himself was promoted to replace Liam Lawson, after only two races. But the Frenchman, who has established himself with a string of impressive top-10 finishes, said he preferred to stay with Racing Bulls. 'That's a bit scary!,' he said. 'Look, I'm just nine races in and I am not ready for that. Just look at Yuki and Liam and they are top drivers.' Hadjar has scored 21 points to sit ninth in the drivers' championship.

Tudor signs new two-year deal with Juventus: club
AFP | Turin Igor Tudor has signed a new contract with Juventus which will keep the Croatian coach in Turin for another two seasons, the Serie A club said yesterday. In a statement, Juve said that Tudor 'will lead the men's first team until 30 June, 2027, with an option to extend by another year until 30 June, 2028'. Juve's new general manager Damien Comolli had already confirmed earlier this week that Tudor, 47, would stay on as coach after the club failed to snatch Antonio Conte from Serie A champions Napoli. Juve had pushed to bring back club icon Conte, who won three straight league titles as coach of the Turin giants between 2011 and 2014.
