Belgian club Leuven dismiss former Wales manager Coleman
Former Wales manager Chris Coleman has been fired by OH Leuven six months after joining them, the Belgian club said.
The former Wales defender was appointed in December by Leuven, whose owners also control Leicester City, and he led them to an 11th-place finish, enough to qualify for playoffs for a potential spot in European club competition next season.
"In those playoffs, the performances remained below expectations. That is why the club is now opting for change with a view to next season and is ending the collaboration with Coleman," Leuven said in a statement.
Coleman, 55, took Wales to the European Championship semi-finals in 2016. He also managed English clubs Fulham, Sunderland and Coventry City, and Spain's Real Sociedad.

Mastantuono's move to Real Madrid was premature, says River boss Gallardo
Franco Mastantuono's transfer to Real Madrid came too soon, while the 17-year-old was still developing and pivotal to River Plate's future, said coach Marcelo Gallardo ahead of the Argentine team's Club World Cup match against Monterrey. Gallardo acknowledged Mastantuono's departure will leave a void in his squad after the Spanish giants completed a deal worth around $45 million with River for the teenager earlier this month. For the Argentine manager, the midfielder still needed more time to grow at the club, but he acknowledged the early transfer as an understandable part of modern football. "It's natural, we train players for the world. Everything is happening earlier, young players are leaving faster, and I understand that those are the rules of the game," Gallardo told ESPN on Friday. "Our sporting project for the year was with him. We have to readjust, because there are players who, by their nature, are difficult to replace. "We knew that Mastantuono was going to leave at some point, but fans don't enjoy it that way. The market dictates the timing." Gallardo said he's urging Mastantuono to stay focused on the tournament despite the noise around his move. "All I want is for him to play naturally, to try to forget about everything that's going on, which is very difficult," he said. "I don't talk to him about where he's going to live or anything like that. I want him to play, which is what he knows how to do." River began their Club World Cup campaign with a 3-1 win over Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds, a result Gallardo described as key to easing early nerves. "We are happy to be able to be in a competition like this, a new one," he said. "I'm excited about how it's going, it was essential to start with a win and get over the nerves. "Now we're preparing for the match in Monterrey, which is a different level of difficulty."

Convicted former Dutch international Promes extradited to Netherlands
Soccer Football - Europa League - Group C - Leicester City v Spartak Moscow - King Power Stadium, Leicester, Britain - November 4, 2021 Spartak Moscow's Quincy Promes during the warm up before the match REUTERS/David Klein/File Photo AMSTERDAM - Former Netherlands international Quincy Promes has been extradited by the United Arab Emirates to the Netherlands, where he is to serve jail sentences for drug trafficking and assault, Dutch prosecutors said on Friday. A Dutch court last year sentenced the former Ajax Amsterdam and Spartak Moscow forward to six years in absentia for his direct involvement with two shipments of cocaine from Brazil through the port of Antwerp, Belgium, to the Netherlands in 2020. In 2023, Promes was also sentenced in absentia to 18 months in jail for assault in connection with a fight in 2020 in which he stabbed a cousin in the knee. Promes has denied all charges and has filed an appeal in both cases. The 33-year-old, who has 50 caps for the Netherlands, was arrested in Dubai in March last year, at the request of the Dutch public prosecution service when he was at a training camp with Spartak Moscow. He was later released from detention under restrictions, which included that he not be allowed to leave the United Arab Emirates. Spartak Moscow then terminated his contract, after which he joined UAE second-tier club United FC of Dubai. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Is FIFA's Club World Cup flopping? Empty seats raise questions
FIFA has recently announced that the Club World Cup has sold close to 1.5 million tickets so far for the games. Spectators, however, are starting to notice that numerous stadiums had empty seats in some of the matches. This issue sparked a conversation on Reddit as one user asked if the Club World Cup is becoming a flop. The user wondered whether the competition is a 'good idea', given the half-empty stadiums and lack of fan interest — or if it might actually be 'bad publicity' for football. The user said, 'The Club World Cup may flop… Is soccer even popular in North America? The Club World Cup is compounded by political controversies surrounding the event. It seems disengaged audiences will diminish the competition's global appeal, failing to capture the excitement of football fans around the world and FIFA slashing Club World Cup ticket prices and offering free tickets to students and city workers due to low demand, just aiming at filling stadiums for tournaments, especially for television broadcasting.' Other Redditors commented on the post and expressed their opinions about this subject matter. One stated that the event should not have taken place in the United States, saying, 'America should not be hosting any football competitions. It would get more support if a South American country, a European country or even an African country. Americans aren't interested in football, and fans certainly don't want to travel to Trump's America. Too risky' Another commented about the location of the event. 'America is not exactly a top travel destination for foreigners anymore. Especially not from South America… Even if you aren't an immigrant, it's not exactly a safe travel destination.' Some commenters chimed in with their thoughts. One wrote, 'It's going to flop because it's another competition that nobody asked for. The previous format made it a lot more prestigious, but people are finally getting tired of FIFA's greed ruining the sport… It's no different to a preseason tour. Nobody cares about the results, and most of the fans are neutral.' Another added, 'I must say that I like the idea of a club World Cup but 32 teams is too many and the timing sucks.'

'It won't flop because you've misjudged what it's designed to do. It's not designed to bring together the world's best teams. It's not designed to decide the best team in the world. It's not designed to bring a love of football to the USA. It's not designed to help America figure out how to run big sporting events,' they wrote. They added, 'Teams are taking part because there's a load of money in it. It might, potentially, knacker their pre-season preparations, but these clubs exist to make money rather than win trophies; winning trophies is simply a way of making money.' Despite these, FIFA declared that fans from over 130 countries have purchased Club World Cup tickets, and they are expecting more than 50,000 fans to attend the next couple of matches as the Cup continues.
