Gone in July, back in Ghana by September

If we count only the group stage, the recently finished World Cup has been a huge success for African teams. Many doubters will say that it was mainly due to the fact that a number of participants (48) was sharply increased, compared to previous tournaments (32), but whatever the reason, the African continent was happy and full of pride. When the group phase was finished, nine African nations reached the knockout rounds of the expanded 2026 tournament, the highest number ever from the continent. The meltdown followed later and Ghana was among those teams. The Black Stars have a long history of participating at the World Cup, they have even made it through the group stage twice before doing it for the third time in 2026, but were stopped in the Round of 32, when they lost to Colombia 1-0. Ghana’s coach Carlos Queiroz left the post, only to come back today.🇬🇭 These are the numbers behind Carlos Queiroz’s first stint.

The only club without any signings

Whoever watches football these days won’t argue that the prices of transfers are way too big (not to mention the players’ wages), but the end is not in sight. Every year, the June transfer window surpasses the last one in terms of money spend and this was the case in 2026 too. But there is one team which is in such a financial mess, that managed to end the transfer window without a single incoming! And we are not talking about some low-league club from some small European country, we are talking about a French giant – Olympique Marseille.“I didn’t imagine that we would sign nobody”The famous club has been left in financial ruins since the departure of president Pablo Longoria and sporting director Medhi Benatia and new president Stephane Richard had to face criticism from the fans, even though he took the position just a few months ago.

Panathinaikos signed a deal with Azzedine Ounahi for 15,000,000 euros, a club-record fee that is almost double the previous record held by Djibril Cisse, who arrived from Marseille for 8,000,000 euros. The total amount spent by the Greens in this transfer window stands at almost 50 million euros, the highest in the club’s history!Welcome back to Athens, Azzedine ☘️🏛️ pic.twitter.com/vd2MZO7uM9— Panathinaikos F.C.
