Chelsea have confirmed the appointment of Spanish coach Xabi Alonso as their new manager, handing the former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder a four‑year contract.

African Champions League: Sundowns edge Royal Armed Forces amid faulty VAR

Mamelodi Sundowns took a slender advantage in the CAF Champions League final after edging Morocco’s Royal Armed Forces (AS FAR) 1-0 in a first leg overshadowed by a malfunctioning VAR system. The South African champions struck through left-back Aubrey Modiba, whose superb free-kick from outside the box found the net eight minutes before half-time at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. The match descended into farce at the start of the second half when technical issues rendered the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system unusable. Both teams were left waiting for around 20 minutes before officials decided to resume play without VAR, in what many observers branded another embarrassing episode for African football on a big stage. Sundowns could have won by a wider margin but Colombian striker Brayan León missed three clear chances early in the second half. Midfielder Teboho Mokoena then […]
