Chelsea appoint Xabi Alonso as coach on four-year deal

Chelsea have appointed Spanish tactician Xabi Alonso as their new manager on a four-year deal, bringing an end to weeks of speculation over the club’s next head coach. The 44-year-old former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder will take charge from July 1, 2026, after agreeing a contract that runs until 2030. Alonso has been out of work since his brief spell in charge of Real Madrid ended in January, but his reputation remains high after previously guiding Bayer Leverkusen to an historic unbeaten Bundesliga title. Chelsea’s owners, BlueCo, identified him as their top target following the dismissal of Liam Rosenior and moved quickly to finalise personal terms. Reports say Alonso sought clear assurances over Chelsea’s transfer strategy and the extent of his authority before committing to the project. His title as manager rather than just head coach is seen as a significant […]

Real Madrid joins race for sensational Zadok Yohanna

Spanish giants Real Madrid have reportedly joined the race to sign highly rated Nigerian youngster Zadok Yohanna following his breakout season with Swedish club AIK. The Bauchi-born winger has been in dazzling form since moving to Europe in 2025, attracting interest from several top clubs across the continent. Reports from Scandinavia and Nigeria indicate that Real Madrid have opened talks with AIK and Yohanna’s representatives over a potential summer transfer. A source close to the deal told SCORENigeria that the Spanish champions are now one of the clubs “ready to sign Zadok” and are discussing what it would take to prize him away from Sweden. Yohanna only joined AIK from Ikon Allah FC in Kaduna in June 2025, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract running until December 2029. However, his rapid rise and performances on the wings have reportedly prompted AIK to […]

Kompany turns down World Cup pundit job to prioritise family

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has revealed that he rejected several offers to work as a television pundit during the upcoming World Cup, saying he wants to use the break to rest and spend time with his family. Broadcasters in England reportedly approached the Belgian coach ahead of the tournament, which will be staged across the United States, Canada and Mexico, but he made it clear he had no intention of taking on extra work. “No chance, no chance,” Kompany replied, cutting in before a reporter could even finish a question about the offers. “What am I supposed to do, work as a TV pundit on holiday? I won’t have a family left in Munich next year,” he joked at a press conference before Wednesday’s DFB Pokal semi final against Bayer Leverkusen. He doubled down in a lighter tone, repeating […]

Boniface admits battling depression after tough year

Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface has revealed that he has been battling depression after a difficult year marked by injuries, criticism and failed transfer moves. The Bayer Leverkusen striker, whose rise had looked unstoppable, has seen his momentum slowed by a series of physical and emotional setbacks over the past 12 months. In a brief message on his X page, he wrote in pidgin English, “Depression real die,” a short but powerful statement that captured the weight of what he has been going through. Boniface’s troubles began with a groin injury in early 2024 that required surgery and ruled him out of the Africa Cup of Nations. Later that year, he suffered a thigh injury on international duty, cutting short a promising season. Matters got worse when knee problems resurfaced, forcing him to undergo another surgery in January 2026. The […]

Liverpool contact Xabi Alonso over potential Anfield return

Liverpool have contacted the representatives of former midfielder Xabi Alonso to ask about his availability for a possible return to Anfield in the near future. The 44‑year‑old, who recently left Real Madrid by mutual consent after a difficult spell in charge, is said to have given a positive response to the initial approach from his old club.​ Alonso had previously turned down opportunities from both Bayern Munich and Liverpool in the spring of 2024, choosing instead to remain at Bayer Leverkusen, where he was enjoying a successful project. Liverpool’s latest move is described as an attempt to anticipate future developments and determine whether they can realistically count on him as a managerial option.​ The club’s hierarchy are balancing longstanding respect for Alonso’s legacy as a player with ongoing admiration for current manager Arne Slot, who remains in charge despite recent […]

African Players in Europe: Salah Frustrated as Liverpool Crash

Mohamed Salah had a frustrating weekend as Liverpool lost 3-0 at Anfield to Nottingham Forest. Despite scoring four league goals this season, last netting in the win over Aston Villa on November 1, Salah has struggled to replicate his Golden Boot-winning form from last season. Liverpool’s defeat leaves them 11th with six losses after 12 rounds. Other African standouts: Samuel Chukwueze (Fulham): Provided a decisive assist, setting up Raul Jimenez for Fulham’s late winner. Nigerians Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi also played key roles for Fulham. Nicolas Jackson (Bayern Munich): Scored in Bayern’s dramatic 6-2 comeback over Freiburg, notching his second Bundesliga goal of the season.

Leverkusen Sack Erik ten Hag After Just Two League Games

Bayer Leverkusen have parted ways with Erik ten Hag after just two Bundesliga matches in charge, the club confirmed on Monday. The Dutchman, who signed a contract until 2027 in May after being dismissed by Manchester United last October, replaced Xabi Alonso following the Spaniard’s move to Real Madrid. However, Ten Hag struggled to steady the reigning champions after the sale of several key players from the squad that won a historic unbeaten double last season. “This decision was not easy for us. Nobody wanted to take this step,” sporting director Simon Rolfes said. “The past few weeks have shown that the steps to build a new and successful team have not been effective.” CEO Fernando Carro described the decision as “painful, but necessary.” The 55-year-old now holds the unwanted record of the fastest Bundesliga dismissal — sacked after just […]
