Massimiliano Allegri refused to offer any guarantees regarding his Juventus future on Thursday but stressed he is happy in Turin.

Allegri s contract is set to expire in June 2020 and he has been linked with the top jobs at both Real Madrid and Manchester United two clubs whose managerial situation for 2019-20 remains unclear.

Juve s victory in the Supercoppa Italiana in January earned Allegri his 10th piece of silverware since taking charge in 2014 and he has won Serie A in each of his four campaigns at the helm.

But Allegri could not give any assurances that his tenure would last beyond this season, which sees the Bianconeri 11 points clear of Napoli at the summit.

Nothing is certain, he told a news conference. I ve been fine here at Juventus for five y…

Tottenham Hotspur have today confirmed that defender Jan Vertonghen has been ruled out until December courtesy of an injury. The 31 year old, who pretty much already made the revelation himself which caused tension between him and the club, has been a rock at the heart of the Spurs defence ever since arriving from Ajax back in 2012.

This news will serve as a big blow in more ways than one, though, given that Tottenham aren t known for having great strength in depth. It seems as if Mauricio Pochettino is being punished by the football gods for his inability to sign more stars in the summer transfer window, and on top of that, some fans are still uncertain as to whether or not Vertonghen will even be able to resolve his contract situation before it s too late.

Fans will b…

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel admitted he is concerned about Christian Pulisic being overused by the United States during the international break.

Pulisic has made just two substitute appearances for Chelsea since sustaining an ankle injury while away with USA in September.

The 23-year-old played 16 minutes in last week s Champions League win at Malmo and the final five minutes of Saturday s 1-1 draw with Burnley in the Premier League.

He came through those games unscathed and will now link up with his national team for their World Cup qualifiers against Mexico and Jamaica over the next eight days.

However, Tuchel has urged caution as Pulisic battles to overcome the persistent ankle problem that has restricted him to just four club appearances in 2021-…

Saturday November 27th

BST 15:00 Gillingham vs Portsmouth 

Starting with Saturday s guests, after backing Portsmouth in our acca last weekend, the south coast outfit should be looking to extend on their recent purple patch here. While there might have been some questions surrounding Danny Cowley s position after a worrying start to the 2021/22 campaign, the Blues have started to skyrocket their way up the League One table. Eventually missing out on a play-off spot last season, the former Li…

Many of the world s best players will be on show in Brazil over the next few weeks for the 2019 edition of the Copa America, but there will also be some talents hoping to use the tournament as a springboard.

Hoping to find a route into the top-half of the Premier League table, Aston Villa will make the trip to Carrow Road when they face off against Norwich on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Norwich might have put in an eye-catching display on home soil over the weekend, there is no doubt that Dean Smith s new squad would have been disappointed at Carrow Road. Eventually falling to a close-fought defeat against Manchester United on Saturday evening, the former Aston Villa boss will now be looking to get one over on his former employers. However, although the east Anglia outfit might have found back-to-back Premier League wins on either side of November s international break, Norwich are still tipped as a leading releg…

Spain have won the last two European Championships and Sergio Ramos says that success has forced them to look at reinventing themselves.

Luis Aragones guided Spain to the trophy at Euro 2008, with Vicente del Bosque adding the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012 triumphs.

It formed a glorious period for the Iberian nation marked by a possession-based style that garnered plaudits from across the globe.

But Ramos now believes other teams have improved in their ability to counter Spain s tactics, and it has forced them to develop.

It s clear that all the squads are more motivated when they face us, he told Marca.

We are the reigning European champions and we ve also been world champions [in 2010].

We have a good history and everyone wants to…

Canada sensationally ended a 36-game winless run against the United States, with Jessie Fleming s penalty securing a place in the women s football final at the Tokyo Olympics.

USA had 17 attempts on Monday but a second defeat at the Games – they had gone down 3-0 to Sweden in their opening group fixture – means the reigning world champions will not have a chance to secure gold in Japan.

There was controversy surrounding the winning goal, too, as a VAR check resulted in Canada being awarded a penalty for a foul by Tierna Davidson on Deanne Rose in the 74th minute.

Substitute goalkeeper Adrianna Franch, who had replaced the injured Alyssa Naeher in the first half, guessed correctly but Fleming s penalty still found the net.

Canada stubbornly held on…
