Thomas Tuchel has done well The 52-year-old has done an impressive job with the England national team so far, and he will be hoping to guide them to a major trophy soon. Manchester United are hoping to make a move for him, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince the German to take over at the club level after the World Cup.

It is a philosophy that was made clear by Arbeloa himself at his unveiling. "On Saturday I turn 43 and 20 of those years have been at this club. Every day I'm at the best club in the world," he said. "This club is about winning, winning, and winning again. When I was a player, I learned those values from the people in that dressing room. They're still there, and that's what matters."

Greenock Morton have appointed Ian Murray as their new manager, with the former Scotland defender signing an 18-month contract. Murray replaces Dougie Imrie, who left Morton to take charge at fellow Championship club Raith Rovers in November. The 44-year-old's most recent management role was at Raith after previous spells with Dumbarton, St Mirren and Airdrieonians. Gary Miller, who has been in interim charge of Morton in recent weeks, will stay at the club as Murray's assistant.

This will be Matos' second senior managerial role after taking charge of Portuguese second-tier club, Maritimo, ahead of the 2025-26 season. He won seven of his 12 league games at the helm (D2 L3), with his side scoring 15 goals and conceding nine to sit at the top of the division. The 37-year-old, who was previously the elite development coach at Liverpool, will take charge of Swansea's league fixture against Derby County on Tuesday.

Middlesbrough have announced Kim Hellerg as their new head coach following the departure of Rob Edwards. Hellberg has joined from Swedish side Hammarby to replace Edwards, who left after just five months and 14 Championship games at the helm.

BBC Sport reported on Sunday that former Luton manager Edwards was among the leading contenders to replace Vitor Pereira, who was sacked following a winless start to the Premier League season. Wolves held talks with former boss Gary O'Neil but the 42-year-old withdrew from the running on Monday. Ex-Wolves player Edwards, also 42, has always been a strong candidate at Molineux and is now emerging as the club's preferred choice.

Brondby director of football Benjamin Schmedes said Cooper has a "rare combination of youth and experience, vision and personality" and can "lift both the individual player and the entire club to a new level". "We want to accelerate our development so that we can achieve the ambitious sporting goals we have and, not least, install a winning culture within the walls of Brondby Stadium," Schmedes told the club's website.
