MUNICH -- Bayern Munich says that the former Bayern and Germany defender Jérôme Boateng will not visit the club to develop his coaching career after protests by fans related to Boateng's conviction last year for causing bodily harm to his former partner. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany, a former teammate of Boateng as a player, had indicated last month that he'd welcome Boateng spending time with the club as part of his plans to launch a coaching career.
Jack Wilshere is such a smiling character that it is occasionally easy to forget how competitive he is. Short of stature but not willpower, Wilshere was training with Thierry Henry at 14, in Arsenal's first team at 16 and survived a decade in physically and mentally demanding midfields, winning two FA Cups and winning most of his 34 England caps in the era of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. He ran the London Marathon this year on two damaged ankles.
the Giants and the Jets both are 0-2, a pitiful reflection of their overall ineptitude and yet a steep disappointment based on where we were less than a month ago. Back then everything was rosy, optimism was high and there was legitimate hope that this season would be different from so many of recent vintage. Aaron Glenn was the coach who was going to change the Jets. Russell Wilson was the quarterback who was going to fix the Giants. So far everything feels morbidly similar.
When we set out to hire our head coach, we looked for specific characteristics such as a dominant style of play, a proven winner at the highest level, a focus on player development, a collaborative mindset, and a leader in high performance.
