Spanish third-tier club reverses decision to sign player after his comments anger Catalans
MADRID (AP) — Spanish third-tier club Nastic has quickly reversed its decision to sign a player after fans complained about his derogatory comments about Catalans on Instagram Live last year. Nastic, which is based in the Catalan city of Tarragona, on Tuesday announced it was signing left back José Manuel Calderón on a one-year contract with an option for another year. But a few hours later, 'after further evaluation,' the club said it would not formalize the signing. 'The club, which represents a city and a fan base proud of its history, identity and values, believes that any new signing must be aligned with the respect, unity, and social responsibility that characterize us,' Nastic said in a statement. 'We regret any inconvenience this situation may have caused to our members, shareholders and fans, and we reaffirm our commitment to continue working to build the best possible squad to successfully face the 2025-26 season,' the club said. The 25-year-old Calderón used an expression with derogatory words against Catalans. He apologized at the time, and again late Tuesday after his deal with Nastic fell through. 'I'm a little upset, in shock, but I accept the consequences,' he told local sports show El Chiringuito. 'First of all, I want to apologize to all the people who were offended. I have Catalan family, Catalan friends, and they didn't take it the same way. Here in Andalusia, for me, it's a normal expression, one we don't take with such repercussions, but it struck a chord with people, and I wanted to apologize publicly.' At the time of his comments on Instagram, Calderón was playing with Cordoba, which had just been promoted to the second division following the 2023-24 season. ___ AP soccer:

Spain women's team coach Montse Tomé is ‘disappointed' after not having her contract extended
MADRID (AP) — Montse Tomé had been expecting to keep her job as coach of Spain's women's national team after leading it to the final of the European Championship last month and says she doesn't know why her contract wasn't extended. 'Things happen in soccer that you don't expect,' Tome said in an interview with Spanish radio Cadena Ser. The Spanish soccer federation announced Monday that it was not extending Tomé's contract and will replace her with former player Sonia Bermúdez. The announcement came two weeks after Spain lost the Euro 2025 final to England in a penalty shootout. Tomé, who took over the job after Spain won the 2023 World Cup, also led Spain to the title of the inaugural Women's Nations League last year. Tomé said she was taken by surprise with the federation's decision to not extend her contract that expires at the end of the month. She said federation president Rafael Louzán had told her that she would remain in charge if Spain did well at Euro 2025. 'He has always shown a lot of confidence in me, but I'm a little disappointed about how everything was handled. He didn't keep his word about the continuity. I felt that he was happy with my work,' Tomé said. 'It was hard to understand everything that happened since the final. It's understandable that the federation wants to go into a new direction, but that message wasn't really clear for me. They had given me a different impression.' Goodbye messages Tomé said she was not bothered by not receiving goodbye messages from her players on social media. 'I received many messages from them,' she said. 'I felt very respected by everyone. I'm not concerned about whether they posted them online or not.' The decision to replace Tomé — the first women to coach the senior women's team in Spain — was made by the federation's board members. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. She had been an assistant to former coach Jorge Vilda during the World Cup and was promoted in the fallout of former federation president Luis Rubiales' nonconsensual kiss of player Jenni Hermoso. Tomé had been criticized by some for not including Hermoso in recent call-ups, but she always maintained it was a decision based on sporting performances. 'I don't want to think it had anything to do with it,' Tomé said. 'Since I was appointed, they allowed me to make decisions based on my sporting criteria. No one told me to bring in this player or another. I've never had to send the list of players to a president.' ___ AP soccer:
