Liverpool chairman Tom Werner lauded the impact of Jurgen Klopp after the manager led the Reds to their first league title since 1990.

Klopp s Liverpool ended a 30-year wait to be crowned English champions thanks to Manchester City s 2-1 Premier League loss to Chelsea on Thursday.

Liverpool sealed the drought-ending triumph with seven matches remaining, having narrowly missed out by one point to City last season.

Werner hailed Klopp, who took over in 2015 and oversaw Liverpool s 2018-19 Champions League victory.

I didn t have the pleasure of knowing or watching the great football of [Bill] Shankly and [Bob] Paisley, so I don t really want to compare Jurgen to previous managers, Werner said. 

I just know that the league is extremely competitive …

According to , German giants Bayern Munich are considering former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino as their next coach. The Argentinian exited the north London club earlier this week, replaced by Jose Mourinho in the Spurs hot seat. However, he was always likely to attract the interest of other big clubs requiring a top boss. It seems that Bayern is among those clubs.

No contact yet made

The Sky report claims that there has not yet been any contact between the German club and Bayern Munich. However, he is believed to be at the top of the Bavarian clubs wishlist of prospective new bosses.

Bayern are obviously looking for a high-profile boss after they hired Croatian head coach Niko Kovac last time out. He was hired due to his ability to speak fluent German. However, i…

The name on everybody s lips when it comes to Chelsea these days is Romelu Lukaku, whom they brought back to the club from Inter Milan for €115 million. But while the Belgian striker is yet to put on a Chelsea shirt in a match, 22-year-old Trevoh Chalobah obviously has something to say on the pitch already.

And manager Thomas Tuchel has something to say about him as well.

Not only did he score, Trevoh Chalobah played 18 passes into the final third during his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace no player across the opening weekend of fixtures played more.

Thomas Tuchel is impressed.

The loan deal which still has Real Madrid s Brahim Diaz playing for AC Milan is about to expire, and it seems Los Blancos have decided to make him a part of their project from next season.

Diaz has scored 16 goals and produced 10 assists in 106 matches in all competitions for Rosseneri since joining their ranks on a two-year deal in the summer of 2021, and played a major role in their Serie A triumph last season. He also scored the decisive goal in this season s Champions League round of 16 against Tottenham Hotspur.

Real face the possibility of losing Toni Kroos or Luka Modric, or maybe even both, at the end of the season. The two heavily proven world-class players will not be easy to replace, but Los Blancos are believed to be working on it very hard. Having already s…

Harry Kane believes England are no longer scared of admitting they can win the World Cup, where he thinks the Three Lions poor form may work in their favour.

Gareth Southgate s side reached the 2018 World Cup semi-final and lost on penalties to Italy in the Euro 2020 showpiece in what was England s first major final in 55 years.

England forward Beth Mead called for more consistency after the Lionesses required a dramatic comeback to beat the Netherlands 3-2 at Wembley and keep their hopes of qualifying for next summer’s Olympics alive.

England will need to beat Scotland at Hampden Park on Tuesday night to have any chance of advancing in the inaugural tournament, with only the group leaders progressing.

Mead said: “The days when I’ve struggled in the gym, long, hard training days of not bein…

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany insists nothing is settled in the Premier League title race after the reigning champions regained top spot with an authoritative 2-0 win at Manchester United. 

City sit a point clear of Liverpool with three games to play and second-half goals from Bernardo Silva and substitute Leroy Sane created a sense that the biggest hurdle to them becoming the first team to retain England s top flight crown since United in 2008-09 has now been negotiated. 

But Kompany believes the challenges ahead starting with a trip to Burnley on Sunday and concluding at Brighton and Hove Albion on the other side of their last home fixture of the season against Leicester City are significant. 

To me it s significant because it s a derby. Th…

Real Madrid are currently considering the possibility of making a move for Manchester City striker Erling Haaland at the end of the season, according to .

Apparently, the Spanish giants have serious doubts about Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe moving to the Santiago Bernabeu, and it is believed they have learned their lesson in 2022, when they held out for Mbappe and decided against rivaling Manchester City for Haaland before the Norwegian transfer from Borussia Dortmund.

Mbappe s contract expires at the end of the season, as things stand, and Real want him to make a commitment by signing a pre-contract agreement by January 15th. The France captain, for his part, reportedly doesn t appreciate this kind of pressure from Los Blancos, being keen on keeping his optio…
