FKF Development Director Francis Kimanzi has opened the lid on why the body allows coaches without the CAF A coaching licence to lead Premier League clubs.As required by CAF and the regulations of Kenya’s top tier, individuals who serve as head coaches for FKFPL clubs need at least a CAF A coaching licence or equivalent.Download our Mozzart Sport App for more newsWhile the rule has been in full force since 2024, its enforcement largely faded out last season.##NAJAVA_MECA_9907536##Speaking to the press after a CAF A refresher course, Kimanzi was asked to explain the change in rules and regulations.“Under the CAF Convention and Club Licensing, it is a requirement for top-flight coaches to have CAF A.

Due to the PSG’s poor pitch state, the first game of the new season for the Parisians was moved to Rennes. And, the record shows that Rennes have won 3 of their last 5 matches against PSG at Roazhon Park, including a 3-1 win last season. Also, Rennes happens to be the team which is not afraid to play against the Parisians. In the 21st century, Rennes has won 17 Ligue 1 matches against PSG, more than any other team during this period. And they were on the brink of yet another win, but World Cup winner Ferran Torres prevented that with a brace on his debut in France: Rennes – PSG 2-2.Even though PSG didn’t lose in the end and even though the current champions have a long season ahead of them, Luis Enrique won’t be happy. First his men lost 1-0 to Lens in the French Super Cup and then he watched his team lose 2-0 until 20 minutes from time. Nothing was working in attack and the best proof of that was Luis Enrique’s substitutes. At half time, when his team was already 2-0 down, the Spanish..

When asked how will his Newcastle team look like, the 37-year-old Matthias Jaissle, the new Magpies manager explained that his players will be aggressive, will press high up the pitch, will attack but will not necessarily have more possession during the game. Just 18 days after taking over Newcastle without any previous experience in the Premier League, the young German did just that – his players were relentless in pressing, had enormous amount of energy and scored from two counter attacks, But what Jaissle didn’t know was that Liverpool has a long history of beating Newcastle and beating them deep into overtime. So when the referee announced five minutes of overtime, no Newcastle fan was happy. And in the 96th minute, Lewis Hall conceded the penalty. Liverpool got away one more time – 2:2. Andoni Iraola had no problem defeating Newcastle while he was in charge in Bournemouth, but today he got away with a point, and will feel the pressure of being in a manager in a top world club as h..

The pitch at the Parc des Princes has been one of the best in France and across Europe for years. And that trend was expected to continue this season as well.The tickets for Paris Saint-Germain’s Ligue 1 opener against Rennes (21.45) were snapped up quickly, with the stadium nearly sold out. Luis Enrique and his men were looking forward to presenting the Champions League trophy they had won for the second time in a row to their loyal supporters.However, the celebratory atmosphere gave way to frustration, as the Parisians had been forced to give up home advantage and face Rennes at Roazhon Park due to the poor condition of the surface at Parc des Princes.Due to a recent heatwave, PSG’s opening match against Rennes has been moved to Rennes instead of the Parc Des Princes. The heatwave led to a FUNGUS outbreak, with the pitch being declared unusable.#psg #ligue1 pic.twitter.com/JMqVG3BqLI— Zioles (@False9Feed) August 20, 2026 The deterioration was already evident two months ago, when PSG’..

Barcelona’s players will embark on their latest league adventure on the Iberian Peninsula tonight, when they face Elche. It was supposed to be against Athletic Bilbao at Camp Nou, but La Liga accepted that the Catalans had a large number of players involved in the latter stages of the World Cup, so the match was rescheduled for August 27. In any case, Hansi Flick has taken a serious approach from the outset, bringing the players who are in the best condition while leaving out those whose futures remain uncertain. Above all, that applies to full-back Alejandro Balde, who has attracted interest from several clubs, most notably Manchester United, Aston Villa and Benfica.🚨🗣️ 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: After loosing to Hull City, Manchester united have sent a €40m bid to Barcelona for Spanish left back Alejandro Balde as revealed by David Ornstein.🗣️ David Ornstein: “Balde has decided to leave Barcelona and his agent Jorge Mendes has been in… pic.twitter.com/mGNDuft9bm— FullTime Report (@FullTimeX_) A..

Manchester City really wanted Enzo Maresca as the new coach. Their conversations while Pep Guardiola was still on the bench was labelled as ‘tapping’ and the Citizens even had to pay compensation to get the Italian. But after only two games, the club’s executives cannot be satisfied. After a 3-0 loss to Arsenal in the Community Shield, Manchester opened their Premier League season with a last minute 2-1 win against Bournemouth. What is actually the most worrying thing is that City’s display in both games has been worrying. They are absolutely not the same team without Pep Guardiola, and they are missing quality players who will step up when the situation is dire, like it was today. So far, they have only one – Rayan Cherki, but just as it was situation with Pep, the talented midfielder started on the bench. His two assists completely turned the game, as the Citizens were trailing 0-1 until the 84th minute. Manchester won, but this doesn’t look good so far.Ahead of the match, news appea..
