Belgian would be first non-Scot in role since Berti VogtsScotland face Slovenia on 26 September in Nations LeagueThe Scottish Football Association hopes to name the Belgian Sébastien Pocognoli as the successor to Steve Clarke as manager early next week. The 39-year-old, who was sacked by Monaco in June, will become the country’s first non-Scottish manager since Berti Vogts, who was in charge from 2002-04.Clarke’s abrupt departure came as Scotland exited the World Cup at the group stage. He had signed a four-year contract extension immediately before the tournament. It quickly became clear the SFA would turn towards a foreign manager; Jon Dahl Tomasson and Kasper Hjulmand were linked with the position. Continue reading...

Motherwell manager Alfred Johansson says underestimating Stenhousemuir in Sunday's League Cup clash "would be the most stupid thing in the world to do". Johnasson took over at Fir Park this summer following the departure of Jens Berthel Askou for French side Toulouse, and the transition has been almost seamless. Motherwell are unbeaten so far this term and earlier this week booked a spot in the Conference League play-off where they will face last year's Europa League finalist Freiburg.
Coventry boss Frank Lampard was full of praise for his team's "performances and attitude" as they warmed up for next weekend's Premier league return with an impressive 2-0 win over Monaco at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Friday night. First half goals from Ellis Simms and Loum Tchaouna were to be enough to defeat the Ligue 1 side, with the highlight of the second period being the return of Gustavo Hamer which drew a huge cheer from the home crowd. "It was a great fixture because they're a high level team," Lampard said post-match.

Ahead of the new SWPL season kicking off this weekend, Glasgow City boss Leanne Ross has added to her backroom staff. The Petershill side have hired former Scotland centre-back Michelle Barr in the role of assistant coach. Previously a coach with the Old Dominion Monarchs in Virginia, more recently Barr held a role within the SFA as a national youth support programme manager for girls and women's football, and was also part of the national side's scouting team before the 2019 World Cup.
Lamine Camara has been linked with a move away from AS Monaco this summer. According to reports from France via SportWitness, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are interested in signing the 22-year-old midfielder, but Monaco are unwilling to sanction his departure.

Xabi Alonso has picked his strongest XI for three of his five matches during pre-season, and all three featured Wesley Fofana. In addition, the club also has a group of players it considers "untouchable", meaning they are not for sale - but Fofana does not feature on that list. It seems unlikely Fofana will leave and, indeed, he wants to stay and believes in a positive future for Chelsea.
Lincoln’s joint head coaches, Tom Shaw and Chris Cohen, hope Championship rivals underestimate ‘amazing squad’The last thing the Championship needs is another spying scandal, so when a lorry emblazoned with KGB parked up alongside Lincoln City’s training ground on Tuesday lunchtime there was laughter as staff pondered whether the Soviet Union was examining their set pieces. It shows the relaxed atmosphere at one of the second tier’s newest clubs, one that has had a summer of change yet maintained continuity by appointing joint head coaches.Tom Shaw and Chris Cohen have replaced Michael Skubala, who led the Imps to 103 points and promotion back to this level after 65 years away before leaving for Bristol City. It was a symbiotic appointment because while the former assistants were devising a sales pitch to the club’s hierarchy, the wheels were already in motion to promote from within. Their plan is to banish English football’s memories of Liverpool’s ill-fated pairing of Roy Evans and Gérard Houllier. The duo are doing final preparations for Saturday’s season opener at the Riverside against Middlesbrough, who have spent more than £20m on summer signings – Lincoln have spent a quarter of that across their 142-year history, indicating the task ahead.

After lifting the UEFA Super Cup with PSG, Marquinhos is now one step closer of matching Lionel Messi's record as the most-winning soccer player in history. Marquinhos has once again led Paris Saint-Germain to victory in one of Europe’s premier competitions, capturing the 2026 UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa. By adding another trophy to his cabinet, the Brazilian defender moves one step closer to matching Lionel Messi‘s historic mark as the most decorated player in soccer history. After arriving at PSG from AS Roma in July 2013, Marquinhos joined the club at the dawn of their era of domestic dominance. Now serving as team captain at 32 years old, the Brazilian center back has secured two UEFA Champions League titles and two UEFA Super Cup trophies following Wednesday’s 2-1 victory over Aston Villa. By lifting the European trophy, Marquinhos raised his career total to 44 professional titles. The defender won the 2012 Copa Libertadores with Corinthians, along with the South American U-17 Championship, the 2019 Copa America, and an Olympic gold medal at the 2016 Rio Games with the Brazil national team, while earning the rest of his silverware in the French capital. With his total at PSG climbing to 40, Marquinhos has now won more trophies with a single club than any other player in history. The Super Cup victory allowed him to break the previous record held by legend Hossam Ashour, who won 39 titles with Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly.

Marquinhos has already locked down the number two spot on the all-time list, passing countryman Dani Alves, who retired with 42 career titles. Unlike the former right back, Lionel Messi remains active, but his ultimate record is facing a real threat of being matched or even broken in the near future. At present, Lionel Messi leads all players with 48 official career titles. The Argentine star reached that milestone by capturing 35 trophies with FC Barcelona, three with PSG, three with Inter Miami, and seven with the Argentina national team, including his 2008 Olympic gold medal and the 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup title. With Inter Miami eliminated from both the CONCACAF Champions Cup and the Leagues Cup, Messi can contend for a maximum of two trophies in 2026: the Supporters’ Shield and the MLS Cup. Marquinhos, meanwhile, can narrow the gap as early as this weekend, when PSG face RC Lens in the 2026 Trophee des Champions.
Motherwell boss Alfred Johansson admitted last night's outstanding Europa Conference League victory over HJK Helsinki was up there with the best of his managerial career.
