Liverpool are reportedly looking at Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen as a potential replacement for Arne Slot, as per SPORT. The Dutch manager is under pressure after Liverpool's mediocre start to the season. Even though they are third in the league table, they have lost six of the last eight matches in all competitions. Their performances have been underwhelming, and Slot has not been able to get the best out of his team, despite spending a substantial amount of money during the summer transfer window.

"It's a special game because they just changed the manager two days ago. We don't know how they will play, which player, which structure, which organisation," Stephan told BBC Radio London.

He could be the leader of the most expensive collection of talent in baseball history. He could be the two-time World Series champion manager. He could be part of a dynasty. Don Mattingly said he never viewed his departure from the Dodgers in that context, however. And when he returns to Dodger Stadium this week as the bench coach of the Toronto Blue Jays, he doesn't expect to feel anything he wouldn't feel in a World Series game played at any other stadium.

The former Arsenal and France midfielder was appointed in November 2024 and steered the club to a 13th-placed finish in Serie A. However, Genoa are currently bottom of the table without a league win so far this season, having lost six and drawn three out of nine league games. The club's sole victories this term have come in two Coppa Italia matches. Genoa confirmed Vieira's departure on Saturday, two days before their Serie A meeting with Sassuolo.

The Orioles will not retain bench coach Robinson Chirinos for the 2026 season, reports Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner. Kostka writes that Chirinos technically remains under contract but is pursuing opportunities elsewhere. That's common practice when teams make managerial changes. Chirinos was hired just last offseason to replace Fredi González as Brandon Hyde's top lieutenant. That lasted all of six weeks into the regular season. Baltimore fired Hyde after starting the season with a 15-28 record.

Sweden - who have an all-star forward line of Liverpool's Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres of Arsenal - drew with Slovenia and lost against Kosovo and Switzerland in their opening three group games. The former Blackburn Rovers manager, who played for Newcastle United during a distinguished career, became Sweden's first foreign coach, external when the Dane took over in February 2024.

1992- Pinch-hitter Francisco Cabrera delivers a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning, driving in Sid Bream who narrowly beats the throw home for a 3-2 win over the Pirates in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series. 1997 - Kevin Brown pitches a complete game and Bobby Bonilla collects three RBI as the Florida Marlins defeat the Atlanta Braves, 7-4, winning the National League Championship Series, 4-2.

Spain will aim to continue their flawless start to the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign when they host Bulgaria at the Estadio Jose Zorrilla in Valladolid on Tuesday night. La Roja top Group E with nine points from three matches, while Bulgaria remain bottom of the standings without a single point at the halfway stage of qualifying. Luis de la Fuente's side have shown an impressive response since losing to Portugal on penalties in June's Nations League final.

Ron Washington will not return for a third season as the Los Angeles Angels manager, The Athletic reported. The Angels hadn't publicly announced their decision Tuesday on Washington, who missed roughly half of the current season after undergoing quadruple bypass heart surgery. Interim manager Ray Montgomery also won't be the Angels' next manager, according to the report. The 73-year-old Washington was the oldest manager in the majors during his two seasons with the Angels, who hired him in November 2023.

Why they'll win it: A cohesive vision. No matter how the regular season finishes, the Union's managerial gamble for 2025 paid off. By firing Jim Curtin and hiring Bradley Carnell in his place, sporting director Ernst Tanner fully leaned into his plan for the club and his vision has been realised by a team that favours direct, vertical attacks and a high-tempo style. They boast a go-to striker in Tai Baribo, whose 16 league goals go a long way to explaining Philadelphia's Shield standing.

Head coach Steve Morison has left Sutton United by mutual consent with the side 22nd in the National League table. Sutton have won once in nine league matches this season, with the 3-2 home defeat by Tamworth proving to be Morison's final game in charge. The 42-year-old was appointed in January 2024 and guided the club to 12th in the table last season.

It is hard to believe that a mere 16 months ago, as they celebrated an unprecedented, unbeaten domestic double-winning season with their awestruck fans at the BayArena, Bayer Leverkusen resembled the very picture of stability, health and continuity. It seemed as though Die Werkself were set to maintain their soaring productivity levels, with Xabi Alonso working his coaching magic and having rebuffed his former clubs, Bayern Munich and Liverpool, as they searched for new managers.
