Zinedine Zidane could Replace Jose Mourinho at Man United

Zinedine Zidane is considering his next move in football after stepping down as manager of Real Madrid.

 Zidane left the Spanish club after winning three consecutive Champions League titles and is looking towards the Premier League. Of the English clubs, he is looking particularly at Manchester United, with Jose Mourinho’s job looking the least secure.

 One reason for Manchester United to bring in Zidane might be that he could keep Paul Pogba at the club. Barcelona vice president has said that he does not think Barcelona will make a move for the 25-year-old French international this season, but said he is a, ‘great player.’ They are continuing to keep tabs on the player who has endured a fractious relationship with Jose Mourinho.

It seems that Barcelona cannot afford Pogba right now, as evidenced by their recent part-exchange offer that was swiftly rejected.

 It is a bit more likely that they are instead working on unsettling Pogba and United in order to make him the big signing next summer. On the other hand, Pogba’s mysterious hints could simply be a way of ensuring a new contract to earn as much as Alexis Sanchez.

 Unai Emery is facing restrictions on his plans to continue his overhaul of Arsenal’s squad during the January transfer window.

 After bringing in a number of new players, contract renewals and Mesut Ozil’s own new deal, there is a need to tie down Aaron Ramsey to a longer contract. All this increases the wage bill and until a new sponsorship deal kicks in, they will have to trim the squad before adding to it.

Eto'o Leaves Turkish Side Konyaspor for Qatar

Samuel Eto’o for captain of the Indomitable Lions has signed for Qatar league side, Qatar Sports Club, just days after he ended with Turkish side Konyaspor.

The former Barcelona, Inter Milan and Chelsea moves to Quatar as gears the country prepares to host the 2022 World Cup.

The four-time African player of the year will join former colleagues in Qatar, including ex-Barcelona teammate Xavi Hernandez, who plays for Al Sadd, and Wesley Sneijder who was at Inter with Eto’o.

In 2009, Eto’o won the Champions League with Barcelona playing alongside Xavi. A year later he won the same trophy with Inter in the same team as Sneijder who now plays for Al Gharafa in Quatar.

Earlier on Monday Eto’o said Ligue 1 clubs had contacted him after he announced he was leaving Turkey last week.

The 37-year-old is now in the twilight of a fabulous career. He enjoyed five hugely successful seasons with Barcelona from 2004 to 2009, before helping Jose Mourinho’s Inter team to win the treble of Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia titles in his first season in Italy.

He then had brief stints at Chelsea and Everton in the Premier League.

Eto’o also scored 56 times for Cameroon Indomitable Lions in 118 appearances and has won two African Cup of Nations with Cameroon.

Minister Resigns Four Days After Appointment

 

Chilean President Sebastian Pinera on Monday accepted the resignation of his Minister of Culture Mauricio Rojas, who spent just four days on the job.

Rojas’s resignation came after revelations that he had questioned the role of the country’s Museum of Memory and Human Rights, which honors the victims of the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990).

“We don’t share his opinions and comments with respect to the mission of the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, which preserves the testimony, evidence and what was learned during a very dark period in our country,” Pinera said when he announced the resignation.

In 2016, Rojas criticized the concept of the museum, saying it represented “a shameful and deceitful use of a national tragedy that touched so many of us,” according to the daily El Mercurio.

His controversial comments were published by another daily over the weekend, sparking outrage from different groups, including the museum’s directors.

 Rojas, a former speech writer for Pinera, had taken the post when Pinera made changes to his cabinet on Thursday.

 Consuelo Valdes Chadwick, the ex-director of the Mirador Interactive Museum, was chosen to replace him.
