Massimiliano Allegri has made his return to coaching by replacing Antonio Conte at Serie A champions Juventus.
Conte led Juve to three conseuctive top-flight titles, but left his post on Tuesday, parting company with the Turin club by mutual consent.

The former Sassuolo and Cagliari boss had been linked with the Italy job following the departure of Cesare Prandelli on the back of the national tea…

Roy Hodgson admitted he did not expect to become the Premier League s oldest manager when he returned to English football in 2007.
At 71 years and 198 days, Hodgson surpassed the record previously held by Bobby Robson as Crystal Palace eased to a 4-1 victory over Leicester City on Saturday.
After building an impressive resume overseas – apart from a brief spell with Blackburn Rovers in 1997-98 – Hodgson returned to England 12 years ago with Fulham.
He went on to manage Liverpool, West Brom and England before agreeing to join Palace in September 2017 – the club he supported as a boy.
It s quite strange that I was contemplating doing something else when I came back to England in 2007 and these last 11 [12] years have been a highlight of my career, …
Everton are set to make a move for Sporting Lisbon striker Bas Dost, according to ESPN.
The Merseyside outfit are desperate to add more goals to their side after managing a total of just four in the Premier League so far this season a total which is better than just Swansea City and basement boys Crystal Palace.
Wayne Rooney is their top scorer with just two goals so someone as prolific as Dost, who has an impressive record since moving to Portugal could fit the bill.
The twenty-eight year old managed thirty-six goals in forty-one appearances in all competitions last season having signed from Wolfsburg fourteen months ago and already has a record greater than one in two so far this campaign.
Internationally he has only one goal for the Netherlands fr…

While the wait continues for Astro Bot, Team Asobi’s latest update for Astro’s Playroom is now live. Like last month’s update, it adds a new Bot based on a PlayStation IP that players can track down. After Lady Maria from Bloodborne: The Old Hunters, Returnal’s Selene steps up to the plate.
Of course, as the PlayStation Blog notes, it won’t be easy – players must solve a riddle first. Given how community meSouth Africa sports Bettingmbers successfully unlocked Lady Maria in less than three hours, Selene may be more challenging to pinpoint.
