New Rossoneri kit design looks timeless. Tight stripes, looks sharp and a good way to usher next season when no doubt Ac Milan will be the reigning Serie A title holders.

Boca unveil new manager

Julio Falcioni has pledged to return Boca Juniors to ‘the place they deserve’ upon being officially unveiled as the club’s new manager.

Falcioni replaces Claudio Borghi at the helm of the Argentinian Primera Division club after the latter resigned following Boca’s 1-0 loss to bitter rivals River Plate on November 17.

A giant of South American football, Boca have been Argentina champions 23 times, won the Copa Libertadores on six occasions and taken out the Copa Sudamericana twice.

But the Buenos Aires club has not won domestic honours since 2008, and finished a lowly 11th in the 2010/11 Apertura.

Falcioni joins after leaving league rivals Atletico Banfield, who he led to the 2009 Apertura title.

The 55-year-old is immediately seeking the support of his new players in returning the club to the top.

“With the help of the players, we will try to put Boca in the place they deserve,” Falcioni told reporters at a news conference on Wednesday.

“The commitment and the work of the players beyond just their technical capabilities is what is going to put Boca in the place it deserves.

“We will try to collaborate, we will try to help, we will try to put them right physically, we will try to correct all the situations that are presented. But the fundamental thing is that the players are well. If they are well, we will obtain the results.”

“For us, it is going to be an honour and a pleasure to be able to share these days of work. It is certain that we are going to obtain commitment, responsibility and work from them (the players) so that Boca takes the place it deserves.”

Speculation had linked favourite son Diego Maradona to the vacant job before Falcioni’s appointment, with the former Argentina labelling his snubbing as a ‘betrayal’.

Club president Jorge Amor Ameal was not drawn on the decision to overlook Maradona, instead speaking of his delight at landing Falcioni.

“We are very happy about Julio’s arrival,” he said.

“This was a long-term wish for the club and today we can achieve it. We wish Julio the best, the best of successes.”

Aston Villa Set to Unveil New Three Man Management Team: Lerner Turns to Houllier, MacDonald and Staunton Team

Gerard Houllier is set to be unveiled as the head of a new Aston Villa boot room on Monday – part of a major gamble by Randy Lerrner.

The 62-year-old Frenchman is prepared to take on the role of Director of Football as part of a new three-man strategy to be unveiled by Villa’s American owner.

Houllier will head up the operation to assist new head coach Kevin MacDonald and Steve Staunton, who will join the Villa Park staff as assistant coach.

Lerner has taken a major risk in adopting the continental strategy favoured on the continent, but which has hardly been attempted in England.

He has gone against the warning of former boss Martin O’Neill – who claimed before his resignation that managers in the Premier League should be allowed to run

England Unveil New Home Umbro Euro 2012 Kit: Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?

6 comments by Mad Dog and Glory on September 1st, 2010

For some unknown reason we quite like this latest incarnation of the England kit. Sure it’s not a million miles from all the other versions over the years but we are giving a big thumbs up for the blue shorts. Anyone who can tell us who all these people are in the pic then we would be grateful.

Stjarnan unveil more variations of the goal celebration..

By Anish on August 31, 2010 8:22 AM | Comments | TrackBacksShare|

If taking your shirt off for a goal celebration gets a player a yellow card then surely going to "The human toilet" for a goal celebration should merit more than a cursory glance from the ref.....................!

and throwing hand grenades should be worth at least a two game ban.....

AC Milan Unveil New Signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Pics)

2 comments by Mr Neutral on August 30th, 2010

He may have won three Serie A titles with arch rivals and stadium sharers Inter but Zlatan Ibrahimovic got a warm reception at the San Siro as he was unveiled to the masses. The fear is that the faltering Rossoneri place far too much in the way of a burden of hope on the Swede’s ample shoulders. It’s been five seasons since the club’s last domestic title and since winning the Champions League back in 2007 Ac Milan have failed to get as far as the last 16 since. A lot will be expected of the former Barcelona man who will at least have fond memories of Milan and does indeed have a point to prove.
