How Chelsea “tricked” Rosenior: Instead of £24 million, he’ll earn six times less

The moment Chelsea announced that they fired Liam Rosenior, the public went wild, but not over the club’s future or the tactician’s successor, but over a completely different matter: How much will the sacked manager earn?The 40-year-old took over the Blues in January, signing a six-year deal worth £4 million per season. Therefore, the math was clear, and the headlines stating that Chelsea owed the manager £24 million wrote themselves.How many players paid tribute to Liam after the sack?After all, we’ve learned from experience that Todd Boehly and Co. have been rather generous with sacked coaches.

Prestianni banned in UEFA crackdown after discriminatory conduct case

Gianluca Prestianni has been handed a six-match suspension by UEFA following his clash with Vinicius Junior during a Champions League fixture in February – sanctioned not for racism, as initially alleged, but for homophobic conduct.The incident quickly escalated into one of the most scrutinised disciplinary cases of the European season.
