Without any prior announcement — not even rumors in the media in recent weeks — Borussia Dortmund decided to terminate the contract of their sporting director Sebastian Kehl. The former German international had spent just under four years in the role, but it’s worth noting that he leaves the Westfalen club after nearly a quarter of a century, including his time as a player. There were reports that Dortmund might try to poach Markus Krosche from Eintracht Frankfurt — one of the most sought-after executives in Europe — but less than 24 hours later, the club officially announced that Kehl will be replaced by the relatively unknown Nils Ole Book (40) from SV Elversberg.Ole Book is set to become Borussia Dortmund’s new sporting director. 🤝BVB has agreed to bring the 40-year-old on board starting this Wednesday. Book will sign a contract running through June 30, 2029. ✍️ pic.twitter.com/ROCZiiVCq8— Borussia Dortmund (@BlackYellow) March 23, 2026 “In a very open conversation, Sebastian Kehl, ..

In the fluid geometry of half-space orchestration that defines modern Kenyan football’s positional chess, Victor Haki Akwanyi operates as Muranga Seal’s living fulcrum.He is a left-sided winger who treats the pitch like a rotating Rubik’s cube, constantly twisting the geometry of attack until opponents’ defensive blocks collapse under their own weight.Follow Our WhatsApp Channel For More NewsOperating predominantly in the left half-space, Akwanyi engages in constant positional rotations with captain Joe Waithira and fellow winger Paul Osama during attacking phases, interchanging roles so seamlessly that markers lose their reference points.##NAJAVA_MECA_9612661##This is not an isolated movement – his front-footed approach, married to razor-sharp off-ball reading and explosive acceleration, allows him to press even the opposition goalkeeper while simultaneously dropping deep to the flank to forge triangular passing connections with the left-back and interior midfielder.The convergence is..

Igor Tudor is there, but only temporarily, because even if he secures survival, it seems unlikely that Tottenham will offer him a permanent position. In any case, despite the delicate situation they find themselves in, the London club is already preparing for the upcoming summer and life after what will likely go down as the worst season in its modern history.One of the key issues for the club’s leadership is the managerial position. Tottenham’s board has been working on it for some time and appears to be on the right track to finding a solution. According to the British Telegraph, one of their primary targets, Roberto De Zerbi, has expressed a desire to move to North London—but under one condition: that the club avoids relegation.🚨 Roberto de Zerbi has always been a main candidate for Tottenham job in the summer, if Spurs stay in PL.Top target as always reported since he left OM, with Pochettino another name on shortlist.De Zerbi-Spurs, currently only a topic for June.🎥 https://t.co/g..

Barcelona may have found their ideal defensive signing in Alessandro Bastoni – but turning that idea into reality looks increasingly complicated.The Inter Milan centre-back is seen as a perfect tactical fit: left-footed, elegant in possession and capable of driving the team forward. At 26, entering his prime, and valued at around €80 million, he represents exactly the profile Barcelona want to build around.There is even a belief that the player would be open to the move, which Mozzart Sport Kenya reported recently.Pillar of Inter Milan’s defense would only head to one stadium – Camp NouAnd yet, the biggest opponent isn’t Inter – it’s the balance sheet.Despite La Liga raising Barcelona’s salary cap to €433m, the club’s wage bill still sits significantly higher, at around €510m. That gap leaves little room for major investments without first generating funds or cutting costs.And Bastoni isn’t the only priority.
