This comes after Spain's poor campaign at the 2018 World Cup. Luis Enrique, Michel and Quique Sanchez Flores are the other managers in contention for this job.
Bailly wants assurance about his future
Manchester United center-back Eric Bailly wants to discuss his future at the club before the new season begins, as per reports in the Sun. The defender is keen on staying at Old Trafford but only if he is assured game time by manager Jose Mourinho. Bailly started only 15 games last season. Notably, he has 2 years left on his contract.
Cheslea are finally set to sack Conte
Chelsea will sack Conte in the coming days and replace him with former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri, according to reports in England. Conte's sacking has been speculated for months now. But Chelsea are now ready to pull the trigger and fire the manager, who won them an FA Cup and a Premier League title during his 2-year reign.
