Sports / Fenerbahce Coach Disappointed In Ex Nigerian Player, Victor Moses by reportminds: 2:10pm On Dec 02, 2019
Victor Moses continues to disappoint the coach of Fenerbahce, Ersun Yanal amid speculation linking the former Nigeria international with a return to Chelsea next month.




The right winger has now gone five games without scoring or providing an assist after firing blanks in Fenerbahce's 2-2 draw with Goztepe.

A top source in Turkey told allnigeriasoccer.

com : ''To sum up, Moses is a total disappointment indeed because the coach of Fenerbahce wanted a goalscoring winger but Moses was absent from the starting line-up for so many matches and when he's in he could not score any goal.

'' Moses was deployed at right back during the closing minutes of Saturday's match at the Bornova Stadium after Luiz Gustavo was sent off for a second bookable offense.

''Ozan is normally a box-to-box midfielder, this is his best position and Fenerbahce play better when he is in midfield.

''When Gustavo was sent off, Ozan went to midfield and Moses replaced him at right back for the last part of the game,'' he added.

In the second half of the 2018-2019 season, Moses netted 4 goals in 16 appearances across all competitions for the Yellow Canaries.

Sports / Paul Scholes Slams Arsenal Interim Boss Freddie Ljungberg For Not Wearing Suit by reportminds: 12:19pm On Dec 02, 2019
Paul Scholes has bizarrely slammed Freddie Ljungberg for not donning a suit during his first match in charge of Arsenal as interim boss on Sunday.


The Arsenal Invincible, who oversaw the 2-2 draw at Norwich in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, wore a grey jumper and blue open-neck shirt with the club jacket on top.

And Scholes, a former rival of Ljungberg's at Manchester United, claims that his choice not to wear a suit shows he won't be the 'right man' for the job.

Scholes told Premier League Productions: 'You would think he'd be out in a suit to show a bit of proudness that he took the job.

'To me that's a great start - shirt and tie to show some discipline. I don't think he'll be the right man.'

Sports / Mourinho Sends Message To Sacked Emery, Says He'll Be Back Soon by reportminds: 8:18pm On Nov 29, 2019
After Unai Emery's sacking on Friday morning it emerged that some Arsenal chiefs had attempted to line up a deal with Jose Mourinho before he took charge at Tottenham.

Asked if he would have been interested in the role at the Emirates two weeks ago, Mourinho said: "There is no point to tell you. It didn't happen, has happened now. I am so happy here that I couldn't even think about the possibility of going to another place.

"You could put in front of me any club in the world and I would not go."

Mourinho, who has experienced being sacked at Chelsea and Manchester United, expressed his sympathy with Emery but is confident the Spaniard will be back before long.

"It's always sad news," he said. "I felt it as a kid when my dad was sacked as a manager, I have felt it myself.

"There is not one single manager sacking that I am happy with.

"I am sad for it but that's life. Unai is a fantastic coach, not happy at Arsenal obviously.

"With a little bit of a rest, another big club will come for him and his career will be back on track so: 'No dramas mi amigo, keep going and you will get another club'.

"I don't know the feelings or if Unai was happy to leave. I just can say that I'm always disappointed when a manager goes, even when I was without a job and I needed someone to leave for me to get a job."

Sports / Allegri Rejects The Chance To Take Over At Arsenal by reportminds: 8:02pm On Nov 29, 2019
Reports say former Juventus boss Max Allegri has rejected the chance to take over at Arsenal.

Allegri has been out of work since leaving Juve at the end of last season, and both Sky Sports and Gazzetta dello Sport claim he was approached with a view to replacing the sacked Unai Emery.

However, they agree the 52-year-old passed up the opportunity as he wants to see out his sabbatical, ahead of making a comeback next summer.

The Tuscan was spotted at San Siro last weekend for Milan’s match against Napoli, fuelling speculation that he is being lined up by either club.

Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United have also been put forward as potential destinations for Allegri.

Frank Lampard has revealed that Chelsea will be without Tammy Abraham for a derby date with West Ham as the England striker is still in some considerable pain.

The Blues saw their in-form striker forced from the field during a Champions League clash with Valencia.

Lampard told reporters when asked for a fitness update on the 22-year-old: “We will know by the end of the weekend, he won’t be available for tomorrow. There’s lot of pain.

“We will see by Monday. It is a squad game, the lads have been training well and when opportunities come they are ready.”

Sports / Rohr Says Contract Negotiation With NFF Is Not Close Due To Wage Demand by reportminds: 9:19pm On Nov 27, 2019
Gernot Rohr has described his time as Nigeria coach as a bittersweet experience as he awaits the commencement of contract renewal talks by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).


Rohr's deal as Super Eagles handler is set to expire in July 2020 but the country's football authority can begin talks for renewal in January.

The German, who was appointed head coach in 2016, last renewed his contract in 2018 after guiding the country to the Fifa World Cup in Russia, but there is a clause that gives him the chance to negotiate with other clubs and national teams immediately after the new year.

The former Bordeaux and Nice manager said he enjoys working with the 'young' Super Eagles team he has groomed but disclosed a tough relationship with the NFF when it comes to payment of bonuses and wages.

“The President of the Nigeria Football Federation has told me that we will sit down in January 2020 for a discussion and the conclusion of the extension of my contract, which runs out on June 30,” Rohr told Inside World Football.

“To be very honest, I have enjoyed the last three years with the national team of Nigeria, because I can see the progress that I have made with the players over this period.

“I think that I have the chance to do something with this group for the 2021 Afcon in Cameroon and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The players are young, disciplined and willing to learn. I am very happy with them and my staff. We have formed a strong team, a strong unit.

“But I am surprised that the federation are taking their time to conclude a contract. And to be honest, I am also surprised that when I was given a contract extension after qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, it was only extended until July 2020, which is right in the middle of qualifiers for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon. That is not normal and it is only the federation that can explain the reason for this.

"While I have had a good time with my players and staff over the last three years, I have to say that relations with the administration have not been very easy, especially when it comes to the payment of my wages and that of the bonuses and allowances of my players and staff. There needs to be a lot more respect in this regard."

After guiding the three-time African champions to a third-place finish at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt in July, Rohr disclosed interests from several clubs and national teams but declined due to his commitment to Nigeria.

While interests for his services might grow in the coming weeks, the Gabon and Burkina Faso manager said he awaits NFF president Amaju Pinnick's call for contract renewal talks.

“According to the provisions of my current contract with Nigeria, I am free, from January 1 2020, to enter into a pre-contract agreement with any club or national team, to start work with them on the first of July 2020. That is my right,” the German tactician continued.

“After the Afcon in Egypt, I was approached by some national teams but I made it clear that I was still under contract with Nigeria and was happy to continue with my work here.

“I will wait for my conversation with the president of the Nigeria Football Federation in January when he says that we shall arrange a time to sit down and talk. We shall see what happens.”

In an attempt to get his unpaid wages and bonuses, Rohr has been forced to hire the lawyer of Manchester United legend Eric Cantona, Jean-Jacques Bertrand, who will, in turn, give him time to focus on his job.

“I preferred to get Jean-Jacques involved because it got to a stage that I didn’t want to be speaking to the federation about money all the time. It got tiring… I wanted to take my mind away from money and simply focus on my job and let him deal with the issues off the field," he added.

Rohr has helped Nigeria start their qualification campaign for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations on a high note with back-to-back victories against Benin and Lesotho this month.

The Super Eagles' next Afcon qualifier is scheduled for August 31 against Sierra Leone on home ground.

Sports / Kane Becomes The Fastest Player To Score 20 UCL Goals by reportminds: 5:10pm On Nov 27, 2019
Harry Kane has become the fastest player to score 20 Champions League goals as he starred in Tottenham's 4-2 win against Olympiacos.


After seeing his side go 2-0 down after just 19 minutes on Tuesday, the Spurs forward buried an equaliser early in the second half before putting his side two goals up in the 77th minute.

Those two crucial strikes mean Kane has now reached 20 Champions League goals after just 24 appearances in the competition.

That impressive return has seen the 26-year-old bring up 20 goals in two fewer games than previous record holder Alessandro Del Piero and three fewer than Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Kane scored his first Champions League goal in November 2016 against Monaco and he has continued to score freely in Europe over the past three years.

In the 2017/18 campaign, the Englishman struck seven times across just seven appearances in the competition, while he added a further five last season as Spurs reached the final.

As it stands, Kane has already netted five times in the Champions League this season with Tottenham's win on Tuesday securing their spot in the knockout stages.

Jose Mourinho's side started the night in shaky fashion with Youssef El-Arabi putting the visitors ahead after six minutes before Ruben Semedo put the Greek club 2-0 up inside 20 minutes.

Spurs' comeback started just before half-time as Dele Alli struck in injury-time before Kane equalised in the 50th minute

A second-half effort from the Super Eagles forward was not enough for the Yellow Submarine to end their winless run in the Spanish top-flight


Samuel Chukwueze ended his six-game goal drought in La Liga with a goal in Villarreal's 3-1 loss to Celta Vigo.

Chukwueze, who last scored a league goal on September 27 against Real Betis, cancelled out Pione Sisto's opener in the 59th minute after he was played through on goal by Xavi Quintilla.

Sports / Tottenham May Be My Last Job In England, Says Mourinho by reportminds: 4:11pm On Nov 22, 2019
Jose Mourinho has hinted that Tottenham could be his last job in English football.


When asked whether it was possible he would not manage another side in England, Mourinho said: “I'd love that to be the case. I would love to stay for many years. I say 'many years', but I know realistically how football is.

“If I could do a Mauricio for five-and-a-half years, it would be amazing. I would be 61 - then 10 more years. [I'd maybe manage] Vitoria Setubal in Portugal. Maybe [this is] the last job [in England], yeah.”

“I don't want to make big changes,” he said. “I want to respect the base and the base is the work they did for five-and-a-half years. It's not the work they did for two days. The work we did for two days we hope that is a plus. We hope that is an update, not a change.

“The base is what they did before. This is not about me. This is not about me coming here and saying everything was wrong with Mauricio, not at all.

“I just come to try to understand why in the last year the results in the Premier League were not good and to understand how I can help them to reach again a good level because the players are very good and I am not here to make dramatic changes.

“I am here to follow the process and get across my ideas in a progressive way: don't lose that stability, don't create the confusion in their brains.”

Tanguy Ndombele (groin) and Jan Vertonghen (hamstring) will be assessed ahead of tomorrow's game but Erik Lamela (hamstring) is out.

"I try to make myself appreciate for all this. But if I have reached where I am, it is because of my own ass, I have nothing to thank anyone outside my family. I am a free spirit".

Advise players about cex
Conte: "I advise my players to have cex for short periods and with the minimum of effort, and better use positions where they are under their partners, and preferably, with their wives, because if with others, well, that needs extra action."

Duel after a defeat
Conte explained that “after a defeat I feel pain, like a duel” and, about his attitude on the pitch, that “the competition is a battle and when in combat there is no reason to laugh or be happy, I am passionate and I demand passion, I like that the players live the game before the initial whistle, that they visualize it ”.

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has issued a two-month ultimatum to the Nigeria Football Federation .

The German technical adviser has urged the football Federation to resolve his future with the national team, saying he would quit his post if things are not regularized.



Incase you don't know, Nigeria are unbeaten since the conclusion of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria went ahead to play draws against Ukraine and Brazil.

And also took maximum three points from their first two group matches of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Lesotho.

Recall that Rohr recently met with Nigeria's Sports Minister, Sunday Dare .

The Minister held talks with the German over extending his contract for two or three years, with his current agreement with the Nigerian Federation set to expire in June 2020.

''There is tremendous potential in this team, with great players like Osimhen,'' Rohr explained to sofoot.com

But first we must regularize things''.

Rohr added that from January 1, 2020, he will be " free to engage elsewhere ", if nothing is settled by then.

Recall that Jose Mourinho was sacked from Manchester United despite guiding the club to a second place finish in the 2018/19 season and Europa League trophy.

Mourinho has been taunted to be hunted by his second season syndrome.

Many have suggested that Jose tends to fall out with players after his first season at any club. In his second season, he tends to lose the dressing room and stumbles on poor results.

Same could be said when he returned to Chelsea in 2013, Real Madrid in 2010 and Inter Milan.

Check out list of top four clubs Jose Mourinho coached below:

2008–2010 Inter Milan

Tributes for the Argentinian, who guided the club to the Champions League final last season, poured in from players.

And his assistant, Jesus Perez, has now posted pictures of him writing a heartfelt message on the tactics board for his players after not getting the chance to say his farewells in person.

"Big thanks to you all!" Pochettino wrote.


"We can't say to goodbye...you will always be in our hearts."

He then signed the board, with Perez posting it on social media and simply stating "COYS" with a love heart emoji.

Sports / Mourinho Promises Tottenham Fans "Real Passion", Read His First Interview by reportminds: 8:50pm On Nov 20, 2019
Mourinho speaks to Tottenham TV for the first time after taking over the managerial role.


On his arrival
"I couldn't be happier and if I was not as happy as I am, I wouldn't be here.

"What can I promise? Passion, real passion, for my job but also passion for my club.

"It's a privilege when a manager goes to a club and feels that happiness in relation to the squad that he's going to have.

"These are not words of the moment. They are not words of me being the Tottenham Head Coach.

"These are words that I've been told and I've repeated in the last three, four, five years even as an opponent.

On impressions of Tottenham
"To play against Tottenham at White Hart Lane was always hard but beautiful.

"It was one of these places where I used to go with passion but also with respect.

"I always told about the Club's potential. I always told about the qualities of the players.

"I always told the magnificent work the Club was doing.


On Academy
"I really like this squad and looking to the young players there is not one manager in the world that doesn't like to play young players and to help young players develop.

On impressions of Tottenham
"To play against Tottenham at White Hart Lane was always hard but beautiful.

"It was one of these places where I used to go with passion but also with respect.

"I always told about the Club's potential. I always told about the qualities of the players.

"I always told the magnificent work the Club was doing.

On Facilities
"When you say beautiful stadium you are too humble. You have to say the best stadium in the world.

"I think that is the reality. The training ground is second to none. It probably can only be compared with some American Football training grounds.

"You cannot compare with European football at any level - and I've been in the majority of the best places.

"It's impossible to compare anything the same as the stadium. i think it's something that has to make us all very, very proud.

"But not just that, the conditions you have to work in are absolutely amazing."

On what they must do in Premier League
"In relation to the Premier League we know where we are and we know that we don't belong there.

We should just play match after match, the next match we want to win and that's the same about the next, and the next, and the next until the last.

"At the end of the season we will see where we are but i know we are going to be in a different position to where we are now.

"I look forward to the challenge, to the responsibility to bring happiness to everyone that loves the club."

Sports / Fake IG Page Scams Harry Kane To Give Money For Child With Cancer by reportminds: 6:35am On Nov 13, 2019
Trolls created a fake Instagram page using the picture of a boy who died of cancer in a sick bid to get celebrity likes and followers.


An account called 'Declans Foundation' that used the handle harrykane_birthday claimed it was accumulating followers to get footballer Harry Kane to come to a boy called Declan's birthday party.

Doctored screen shots posted on the page show the user trying to message the England captain asking him to attend 'Declan's' birthday party after he was diagnosed with cancer.

But the photos on the page are actually of a nine-year-old called Bailey Cooper from Bristol who died of an aggressive childhood cancer in December 2017.

The fake reply from the Tottenham star, 26, purports to show him agreeing to attend the birthday party if the account gets 20,000 followers.

The trolls also targeted Manchester United's official account, mocking up a fake response to another message, which agrees to host the birthday party at Old Trafford if the profile gets to 100,000 followers and 130,000 likes.

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Harry Kane for comment.

The account bio reads: 'Please share with friends so my son can have the opportunity to meet his football icon, Harry Kane.'

It reached 47,000 followers before all the images were taken down and the account was made private today.

The account sparked a furious backlash, with people on social media branding it 'disgusting' and one person urging others not to support the trolls.

They wrote: 'The Harry Kane Birthday party is fake. Stop sharing the page and giving them the attention they want.

'They have used pictures of a little boy called Bailey who has already passed.'



The sick account owner wrote posted earlier: 'I can't wait to give my little baby his best every birthday.

'I have to thank everyone for all of the DMs and the support in general.

'I hope we can hit this new goal. I chose Old Trafford as we currently live in Manchester as Declan was transferred to a new hospital to cure his needs.'

The picture on the account shows Bailey Cooper, who battled Non-Hodgkin lymphoma for 15 months, with no hair and a hospital drip hooked up to his nose.

Little Bailey was just nine years old when he died.

The nation's hearts broke when it was reported he managed to live long enough to welcome his baby sister Millie into the world in December 2017.

Pictures showed him cradling baby Millie on the day she was born - the day before he died on Christmas Eve 2017.

He told his parents Lee and Rachel they were 'only allowed to cry for 20 minutes' after he left them.
