Ex-Brighton defender Calderon juggles Kitchee demands, stress of Hong Kong school system
More familiar with the inner workings of English football, Inigo Calderon has been juggling a crash course in the game in Hong Kong with the 'more stressful' task of trying to find schools for his two young children. The former Brighton & Hove Albion defender was made Kitchee head coach on July 4, exactly two months after being sacked from his job with Bristol Rovers, who were relegated to League Two in April. With his family based in England, the 43-year-old initially felt the move east was 'too far', but after talking to people in the city, he changed his mind. 'Sometimes, you need the challenge of a change,' Calderon added. The Spaniard quit playing in early 2019, after 18 months with Chennaiyin in India. He lived apart from his family during that time, something he did not want to experience again. Inigo Calderon is in his second senior head coach role after leaving Bristol Rovers.

Watch Love Island Helena's fuming reaction as Harry rates ex Emma's kiss better than hers in saucy challenge
HELENA was left fuming after Harry rated his ex Emma and Shakira a better kisser than hers in tonight's snogging challenge. The lads were blindfolded and wearing headphones, while the girls made their way down the line and smooched each of them in turn. 3 3 The boys then rated each snog out of ten, which lead to some major jealous reactions. After enjoying kisses with all the girls, Harry scored Helena an eight, but gave Emma an 8.5 and Shakira a 9. During Helena's kiss with Harry, she wrapped her hand around his neck as a signal to him that it was her. When it came to describing their kiss, Harry said: "A familiar one for me, I've had the hand around the neck before, as for the kiss itself an eight out of ten." Speaking in the Beach Hut, a disappointed Helena said: "Harry scored me an eight, I'm trying to work out if he didn't realise it was me, but I don't know how he wouldn't realise that was me." Emma then worked her way down the line-up during her turn. She then enjoyed a long kiss with Harry, which promoted Helena to say: "Emma and Harry's kiss went on for a long time, f*** off Emma." Harry described the kiss: "She grabbed the bum cheeks straight away, I've got a little spring in my step back and slowed things down on the kissing front which I'm a big fan of." Emma said in the Beach Hut: "I just thought why not, he probably missed me." After giving Emma a higher score, Helena looked furious and later pulled Harry for a chat. Earlier in the episode, Harry appeared to have his head turned AGAIN as he pulled Shakira for a chat. Harry tried to make amends following the Couple of Sorts game and the comment he made suggesting she was still interested in him. He told her: 'I'm not trying to come between anything you're doing. "I think if you did like me, you'd go after it… you're a smart girl and you'd do what you want.' 'I think the world of you,' he continued. 'I just wanted to apologise to you and I am sorry.' Shakira replied: 'What was said in the kitchen was so misconstrued… "For you guys to bring it up in a challenge is stupid and I don't know why you did it to be honest. "I thought it was uncalled for but I appreciate your apology.' But Harry then went digging to find out if Shakira had regrets about them splitting. A curious Harry asked: 'Do you think it would have been a better experience for you if we were to stay together?' Shakira shut him down and replied: "No, I think you would have just continued hurting me." Harry shockingly replied: "But I think it would have been a better experience." Shakira added: "I mean we had a good time." ITV2 viewers were shocked at Harry appearing to try and rekindle his romance with Shakira, as viewers praised Shakira for "friend-zoning" him. Harry later enjoyed a flirty chat with new bombshell Angel, telling her that she'd love to be in his bed. Helena was left fuming and interrupted their conversation to tell him that she doesn't feel that he's given her any reassurance. Harry insisted that he still just wants Helena and promised to shut things down with Angel going forward. 3

Insiders Claim This Change Could Be ‘Daunting' for Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones' Marriage
After Michael Douglas announced his retirement from acting, many are wondering how his and Catherine Zeta-Jones' marriage is holding up, especially after their reported ups and downs in recent years. An insider recently told Heat World UK that the new life change has been a bit hard on the longtime couple. More from SheKnows Michael Douglas Hints at a Life-Altering Shift & It Has Everything To Do With Catherine Zeta-Jones 'It's a challenge for Catherine having Michael around so much. The marriage has worked best when they had space from each other between living as a bustling family with their children,' they said. 'She'd like more space but she's not going to get it and he'll be around needing her to take care of him, which has increasingly happened over time.' They added, 'She knew the day would come when the marriage would face such a time with their 25 year age gap, but now that it's here [and] it's daunting.' Now, before you go thinking they're going to split up: don't. The same insider said that while this is a challenge right now, these two are in it for life. 'Catherine understands it's the right decision and she knows how lucky they are to have this time together and is still incredibly devoted to Michael. It's just a matter of figuring out this new normal and learning how to enjoy the slower pace together,' they said to the outlet. For those who don't know, the pair met back at the Deauville American Film Festival held in France in Aug 1998, after being introduced to one another by Danny DeVito. Zeta-Jones and Douglas married two years later in Nov 2000, and welcomed two children named Dylan, born in Aug 2000, and Carys, born in April 2003. They did split up briefly in Aug 2013, with Douglas' reps confirming the news by saying, 'Michael and Catherine are taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage.' They reconciled a few months later. But a divorce will probably never be in the cards for them, especially when you remember what Jones said via DailyMail: 'I find divorces repulsive. I will never get divorced, never.'Best of SheKnows 29 Times Gisele Bündchen's Red Carpet Fashion Proved She's the Ultimate Supermodel 68 Celebrities Who Share a Famous Ex 6 Sexy Celebrity-Owned Lingerie Lines, Made From Rihanna to Sofia Vergara Solve the daily Crossword
