Chelsea boss Frank Lampard believes English managers are judged differently to their foreign counterparts and says more should be given the opportunity to lead Premier League clubs.
Lampard took over the reins at Stamford Bridge ahead of the 2019-20 season to become the first Englishman to permanently lead the club since Glenn Hoddle left in 1996.
He guided the club to a top-four finish in the Premier League in his maiden campaign but has overseen just two wins from Chelsea s opening six top-flight games so far this season, with Sunday s 0-0 draw with Manchester United leaving them in 10th.
That sluggish start has led to some people questioning whether Lampard is the right man for the job, but the 42-year-old is content with the progress Chelsea have mad…
Maurizio Sarri believes a little fear can do us good after seeing Juventus prepare for their crucial Champions League tie against Lyon by losing 3-1 to Roma on the final weekend of the Serie A season.
Juve saw a 39-match unbeaten home league run dating back to April 2018 ended as Diego Perotti scored twice after setting up Nikola Kalinic to cancel out Gonzalo Higuain s opener at the Allianz Stadium.
The Bianconeri were crowned champions for the ninth straight season despite winning just two of their final eight league matches, with head coach Sarri conceding his team dropped mentally after beating Lazio on July 20.

As December rolls around and 2024 closes, Synduality: Echo of Ada will be one of the more notable releases to start the new year. It launches in January 2025, but Bandai Namco has confirmed an open network test from December 12th to 20th (22nd for those who pre-ordered).

Remi Garde says the Coupe de France is Lyon s main target ahead of their quarter-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
The sides meet at the Parc des Princes in a rematch of the 2008 final, which saw Lyon claim the championship 1-0 in injury time.
Lyon were knocked out of the Champions League by APOEL earlier this month and are out of the running for the Ligue 1 title, trailing leaders PSG by 13 points, leaving the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue as their only chances for silver ware this season.
The Cup is one of our main targets. The draw was not really kind to us as we will play against a very successful team, Garde said.
Paris at home have been in another league since the start of the season. The game will be very challenging but…

A full publication of Michael Garcia s report into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups is not legally possible , say FIFA.
Garcia was appointed to lead an investigation into the process, which saw Russia and Qatar awarded the respective tournaments back in 2010.
The decision was met with criticism in some quarters, and allegations of corruption within FIFA were consequently made.
Both Garcia and UEFA president Michel Platini have been among those calling for the findings to be made public but Hans-Joachim Eckert, chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of the FIFA Ethics Committee, has said that a full disclosure will not be possible from a legal standpoint.
The statement will contain an overview of the investigation report, a summary of th…
The New Orleans Saints are facing sanctions after it was revealed they rewarded players for injuring opponents during the last three seasons.
The NFL announced on Friday that up to 27 New Orleans defensive players, as well as defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, maintained a bounty system financed by the players themselves which paid $1,500 for a knockout and $1,000 for a cart-off .

The findings of the investigation have been presented to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who will decide on a punishment, which could include draft sanctions or a hefty fine.
The payments here are particularly …
