Welcome to Wrexham documentary series renewed for fifth season
Welcome to Wrexham, the documentary charting the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has been renewed for a fifth series. Broadcast in the U.S. on FX and on Disney+ in the UK, the show has proved a huge hit since first airing in 2022. A fourth series is currently midway through it's run, charting the 2024-25 EFL League One season that ends in Wrexham clinching an unprecedented third consecutive promotion. Advertisement This latest success means Phil Parkinson's side will be competing in the Championship come August, meaning the club will be just one level below the Premier League. After confirmation that a fifth series has now been commissioned, the Welcome to Wrexham cameras will once again follow the team, the players and the supporters through the 2025-26 season. Also confirmed on Wednesday are details of a new TV spin-off docuseries venture involving Reynolds and McElhenney. Necaxa will focus on the Mexican club of the same name, effectively an extension of the 'Welcome to…' franchise after Wrexham's two Hollywood owners were brought on board by Eva Longoria last year to help revive the fortunes of the Liga MX outfit in a similar vein to what has happened in north Wales. Like Welcome to Wrexham, the bilingual show promises plenty of behind-the-scenes access along with a focus on supporters and the local community, as well as an ownership team headed by Desperate Housewives star Longoria. As for the Welsh club, news of a fifth series is another huge boost. Welcome to Wrexham has helped transform a previously provincial football club into a global brand that has now soared from the National League to the Championship. The club receives no money from the show. But it has long been considered by the hierarchy as Wrexham's 'biggest commercial asset' due to how the spotlight afforded by the show has lured a host of big money sponsors on board. United Airlines, SToK Cold Brew Coffee, Meta and HP are among the list of companies that have helped Wrexham's annual revenue soar in recent years to £26.7 million in the last available set of accounts for the 2023-24 financial year. Those figures also revealed how 52 per cent of income now comes from overseas, the vast majority from North America.

Gerardo Martino linked with Tigres managerial job
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Gerardo Martino's name still sparks rejection among Mexican fans due to his poor performance with the Mexican national team at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, where he failed to advance beyond the group stage. In recent days, international media reported that Martino rejected an offer from Boca Juniors and was linked to Tigres de la UANL, despite Guido Pizarro currently being in charge of the team. However, Carlos Ponce de León clarified: "The only certainty: Guido Pizarro is and will continue to be the team's coach next season." Guido took over as technical director after retiring as a player following a match against Necaxa, and although he led the team to two semifinals — one in Liga MX and another in the Concacaf Champions Cup — his playing style did not fully convince. Will Martino be the option to replace Pizarro? 📸 Carmen Mandato - 2024 Getty Images

Pachuca eye Palavecino for Club World Cup
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Pachuca is going through challenging times with their coach Guillermo Almada, just three weeks before the start of the 2025 Club World Cup, their next major international challenge. In this tournament, they will face Real Madrid again, who defeated them 3-0 in the final of the 2024 Intercontinental Cup. Without focusing on Liga MX, the Tuzos are actively seeking reinforcements to tackle Group H, where they will face Real Madrid, Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia, and RB Salzburg from Austria. On Saturday, they confirmed the arrival of José Castillo, a fullback returning after his stint with Chivas. Now, the target is Agustín Palavecino, a midfielder from Necaxa. According to César Luis Merlo, the Argentine is interested in joining Pachuca for the World Cup, but the club must negotiate with the Rayos for his temporary loan. Palavecino has played 39 official matches with Necaxa, scoring nine goals and providing six assists, averaging a goal contribution every 90 minutes. Although Necaxa does not want to part with their key players, like Diber Cambindo or Paradela, a short-term loan could be feasible. 📸 JULIO CESAR AGUILAR - AFP or licensors

Necaxa had been overly superior in the 1st half but Tigres even the match in the 2nd and the scoreless result wasn't overly surprising as both teams failed to excite their fans. Tigres has the advantage as another tie in the 2nd leg would give them the ticket to the Semifinal when they face each other in Monterrey on Sunday. The first half started with both teams coming out with the best possible starting 11. It was physical from the start and the referee had to stop play after a foul starting a mini scuffle.

A cross into the area from Kevin Rosero was just of reach of two Necaxa's attackers but the home side was dominating possession. Pavel Perez would get off a right footed shot that forced Guzman to make a save but the rebound fell to Diber Cambindo, whosen shot also Guzman saved. The ball would then fall again to Perez but his right footed shot went wide. A cross into the area was headed by Alexis Peña but Guzman would make another save. The halftime whistle blew and although Necaxa had been clearly the better team, the match remained scoreless.

No question it is Tigres who benefit the most from the score as they get to return home with the advantage that a win or a tie get them thru to the Semifinals. Necaxa let got of a great opportunity as they had been the better side in the first half and now they need to go and get an away win against Tigres, who although they haven't played well, they have been solid defensively. Hopefully both teams pick it up on offense as right now, it has been the most disappointing Liguilla series so far. More from
