Chubby Boniface back in training after the surgery

At the beginning of the year, Victor Boniface’s career was in jeopardy. The Nigeria striker, on loan at Werder learned that he needed the knee surgery. Both Bremen and Leverkusen agreed on that but that surgery probably meant that his season at Werder is over. Until then, he had 12 Bundesliga appearances and zero goals, and Bremen really counted on the prolific striker. With career on the line, Boniface went to Innsbruck and did the surgery, which happened to be successful. In fact it was that good that the Nigerian forward started to train on Tuesday.”Happy to be back training outside” – Victor Boniface says as he returns to training for Werder Bremen#99Pluzupdates https://t.co/XSKsdW2FKT pic.twitter.com/jGA1mNi7LH— 99Pluz (@99Pluz) March 31, 2026 🚨Victor Boniface doing individual work on the grass as steps up his recovery from a knee injury.Never give up🔥@boniface_jrn pic.twitter.com/4vlHVbyNhG— Official AGT⚽🎙️ (@Iam_agt) March 31, 2026 Bayer Leverkusen player had a help from fitness..

De Zerbi signs for Spurs, gets a huge wage

It’s official—Roberto De Zerbi is the new head coach of Tottenham Hotspur. The Italian has signed a deal covering the final seven matches of the season plus five additional years, and he’s ready to roll up his sleeves and try to revive a team that’s on the brink of relegation from the Premier League. Tottenham sit just one point above the relegation zone and 18th-placed West Ham United. What’s particularly striking is that there is no relegation clause in De Zerbi’s contract. That detail could prove highly motivating—because if the worst happens, the 46-year-old would be expected to lead the team in the Championship. Clearly, that’s a scenario he’ll be desperate to avoid.We are pleased to announce the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as our new Men’s Head Coach on a long-term contract, subject to work permit.🔗 https://t.co/DtXe0YJSlr pic.twitter.com/64tybrOhmr— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) March 31, 2026 Initial talks between Tottenham and De Zerbi began about a month ago.

Napoli announce Lukaku punishment

It was a perfect debut season. In one year, 14 goals in Serie A, another 10 assists, and above all – the Italian championship title, only the fourth in the club’s history.
