Awkward moment married football manager desperately avoids eye contact with stunning reporter during interview

The Suna day ago
SHAKHTAR DONETSK boss Arda Turan awkwardly avoided eye contact as he was interviewed by a reporter last month.
The former Barcelona and Atletico Madrid star, 38, took charge of the Ukrainian giants earlier this year.

Turan is trying to guide Shakhtar to the Europa League league phase, and last month took his side to the city of his birth for a qualifier against Besiktas.
After the first leg in Istanbul, which Shakhtar won 4-2, Turan was interviewed by club reporter Daria Bondar Savina.
But as the 24-year-old spoke to Turan, the Turkish boss appeared to struggle to look at her.
The ex-midfielder fidgeted throughout the two-minute interview and put his hands in his pockets.
Turan didn't quite stare at the floor the whole time, Ange Postecoglou style, but moments of eye contact were fairly brief.
The clip has only just been discovered on social media.
One fan responded: "He's trying so hard."
Savina is Shakhtar's head of media and has gathered a huge Instagram following of more than 500,000.

In a further clip to circulate online, Turan was seen putting his arm around a female supporter while posing for a picture, without actually making any contact.
Turan married wife Aslıhan Dogan in 2018.
The ceremony was attended by Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
As a reporter attempted to quiz Aslihan, Turan fumed: "Be respectful, or I will crush your head and eyes! You're talking to my wife."
The couple have two children together; Hamza Arda, six, and Asil Aslan, five.
Turan has had an eventful career in the game.
In 2019, Turan was hit with a two year and eight month suspended jail sentence after being found guilty of intentional injury and possession of an unlicensed weapon.
The row began when Turan was alleged to have approached Turkish pop star Berkay's wife Ozlem Ada Sahin.
He was claimed to have told her: "If I was not married, I wouldn't miss a girl like you."
Turan then broke Berkay's nose when confronted, before following him to hospital.
The footballer was later found to have brandished a gun in Berkay's room, saying: "I didn't know she is your wife. I'm sorry, just kill me."
The singer refused, but fellow hospital patients were left terrified after the gun went off.
Turan later submitted a written statement in which he apologised for his "instant error".

Trump news at a glance: president insists he won't let Putin ‘mess around with me' at summit on Ukraine

Donald Trump has insisted he won't let Vladimir Putin 'mess around' with him at their high-stakes summit over Ukraine and is giving the talks a 75% chance of success. Amid concerns from European leaders that the Russian president will cajole Trump into imposing a settlement on Ukraine, the US president told reporters on the eve of Friday's talks in Alaska: 'I am president, and he's not going to mess around with me. 'I'll know within the first two minutes, three minutes, four minutes or five minutes... whether or not we're going to have a good meeting or a bad meeting. And if it's a bad meeting, it'll end very quickly, and if it's a good meeting, we're going to end up getting peace in the pretty near future.' Meanwhile in Washington DC, the White House said there would be a round-the-clock presence of local and federal law enforcement officers after Trump's federal takeover of its police department and dispatch of national guard troops. Here are the key US politics stories at a glance: Donald Trump has said he believes Vladimir Putin is ready to make a deal on the war in Ukraine as the two leaders prepare for their Alaska summit, but his suggestion the Russian leader and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy could 'divvy things up' may alarm some in Kyiv. The US president implied there was a 75% chance of Friday's Alaska meeting succeeding, and that the threat of economic sanctions may have made Putin more willing to seek an end to the war. He also said a second meeting – at present not confirmed – between himself, Putin and Zelenskyy would be the more decisive. Read the full story The president falsely claimed crime in Washington DC was the 'worst it's ever been', amid an ongoing federal takeover of the city's police department and deployment of the national guard and federal agents in the city. 'Washington DC is at its worst point,' Trump said from the Oval Office on Thursday. 'It will soon be at its best point.' He also baselessly accused DC law enforcement officials of giving 'phony crime stats' and said 'they're under investigation'. Read the full story Pam Bondi, the attorney general, said she had sent 'sanctuary city' letters to the mayors of 32 cities and a handful of county executives warning that she intends to prosecute political leaders who are not in her view sufficiently supportive of immigration enforcement. 'You better be abiding by our federal policies and with our federal law enforcement, because if you're not we're going to come after you,' she told a Fox News reporter on Thursday. 'Our leaders have to support our law enforcement.'

How Arne Slot created another monster at Liverpool: Why he completely revamped the squad this summer, what he has demanded from his players and the injury 'luck' that's actually something entirely different

Straight after Arne Slot 's first season at Feyenoord, 16 players left the club. Some for pastures which they viewed as greener grass, some because the club knew their place in the food chain and needed to sell their best assets, some turfed out by Slot simply because they were not good enough.

Five-time Pro-Bowler Brandon Scherff secretly retires from the NFL at age of just 33 after earning $111m

Former All-Pro guard Brandon Scherff has quietly retired from the NFL after earning $111million in an impressive 10 years in the professional game. Scherff, who played the last three of his 10 NFL seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, has not officially confirmed to the media - or his fans - that he has hung up his cleats. But an article this month about Scherff's induction into the Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame on the Hawkeyes' website referred to him as 'having retired from playing this summer.' The Iowa native became a free agent in March but had not signed with a team, and NFL insiders have now confirmed that he has indeed called a day on his playing career. 'It's been something I could never dream of,' Scherff said in the article about playing professional football. 'Sometimes I would tell my wife that she has to pinch me, because I'm playing a kid's game, and being able to do it as a job is pretty amazing. Now, having kids and being able to see them after games is absolutely wonderful. 'So I would say it's a dream come true. And I will be forever grateful to have had that chance.' Washington selected Scherff with the fifth overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft. Scherff started all 140 regular-season games that he played for Washington (2015-21) and Jacksonville (2022-24), as well as four total playoff games. Scherff was selected first-team All-Pro in 2020, as well as to five Pro Bowls (2016-17, 2019-21) and to the 2015 NFL All-Rookie team. In his final season at Iowa in 2014, Scherff was the Outland Trophy winner, a first-team All-American and the Big Ten's Offensive Lineman of the Year.
