Chelsea parted ways with its UEFA Champions League winning manager Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday shocking just about everybody. A slow start to the season coupled with a disastrous loss to Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League opener was enough for Tuchel to get the axe.
MANCHESTER, England - British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe's interest in buying Manchester United has raised the hopes of the club's supporters that their American owners, the Glazer family, might now sell the club and pave the way for a return to glory on the field.

For quite some time the fanbase has been upset with the club's ownership, but a recent movement on Twitter is hoping to use social media to send a public message.
It all started with a throwaway line: "If anyone knows what a Xogg is, please get in contact with me," I wrote in an article about the best names of defunct American soccer teams back in April.
I pondered the absurdity of the Columbus Xoggz — a name without meaning that still captures the imagination of a soccer writer who wasn't even alive when the team played.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said he was worried about his team's progress and concerned by his players' lack of commitment during their preseason tour of the United States after they slipped to a 4-0 defeat to Arsenal in Florida on Saturday.
Gabriel Jesus, Martin Ødegaard, Bukayo Saka and Albert Sambi Lokonga scored in a comfortable win at Orlando's Camping World Stadium as Arsenal rounded off their U.S. tour by winning all three of their matches.
Kaput, kaput, kaput. Después de una cadena de fracasos en varias de sus categorías, la Federación Mexicana de Fútbol sacó la guadaña y determinó una serie de despidos, incluyendo el del director general deportivo de la FMF, Gerardo Torrado, así como el del técnico de la Sub-20 Luis Pérez.
Angel City edged San Diego Wave 2-1 in the first regular-season edition of the SoCal Derby in front of a sold-out, 22,000-strong crowd on Saturday night at Banc of California Stadium. Among the crowd were some of the most famous soccer moms you’ll ever meet.
