Sarina Wiegman using Belgium double-header to help shape her team for Euro 2025.

Sarina Wiegman, England's manager, reveals she is using the Nations League double-header against Belgium to prepare her players for the 2017 European Women's Championship. The Lionesses drew with Portugal before defeating Spain during the previous international break in February, but now face the uncommon prospect of meeting the same team twice in a matter of days. England will host Belgium in Bristol on Friday night before traveling to Leuven on April 8, and Wiegman has revealed that she will also be watching the Euros in Switzerland in July. She stated, "I think it's crucial that we establish a positive image of our team. "Of course, we're going to play Belgium twice and hope to win both games, but we're also getting the team ready for the Euros by knowing who's available and who's in good shape. "So you're constantly thinking in that direction. These two camps have been extremely fierce and entertaining to watch, but the level h...

Van Nistelrooy has agreed to become the new manager of Leicester.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is likely to become Leicester City's new manager, succeeding Steve Cooper.


Van Nistelrooy has agreed to take over at the King Power Stadium following Cooper's dismissal this week.

Leicester are 16th in the Premier League rankings, having won only twice since their promotion back to the top division. The Foxes have now turned to Van Nistelrooy, who has been looking for work in England since leaving Manchester United.

The 48-year-old returned to Manchester United this summer as Erik ten Hag's assistant. He was recruited back to work with his compatriot at Old Trafford after scoring 150 goals in 219 games for the Red Devils during his five-season playing career.

Following Ten Hag's dismissal last month, Van Nistelrooy took over on an interim basis and guided the team to a four-game winning streak. His tenure as interim manager featured victories over Leicester in the Carabao Cup and Premier League.

However, it was determined that he would quit his position with the arrival of Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon and his coaching team.

Leicester are now set to give Van Nistelrooy a chance to return to senior management in the Premier League. The Dutchman formerly coached PSV Eindhoven in the 2022/23 season, winning the KNVB Cup and Johan Cruyff Shield. He departed PSV before the end of his first season as manager, alleging a lack of board support.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
