Premier League club Chelsea have appointed Liam Rosenior as the new manager following the departure of Enzo Maresca . The 41-year-old Englishman has inked a long-term contract until 2032, becoming the fourth full-time manager at Stamford Bridge since the takeover of the club led by American Todd Boehly in 2022. "I am extremely humbled and honoured to be appointed head coach of Chelsea Football Club," Rosenior, who left his post at French club Racing Strasbourg, stated in a club statement. "This is a club with a unique spirit and a proud history of winning trophies." London-born Rosenior, who played for Fulham, Hull City and Brighton and Hove Albion, took the manager 's role at Strasbourg in July 2024 after coaching spells at Derby County and Hull City in England 's second tier. Will Rosenior 's inexperience hinder his job at Chelsea? While his experience as a top-level coach is not much, Rosenior 's stock has risen after leading Strasbourg to European qualification...
India 's ODI and Test skipper Shubman Gill and T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav endured forgettable outings in the sixth round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, getting out cheaply in their team 's respective fixtures on Tuesday. Playing their first match in the ongoing edition of the 50-over domestic competition, Gill and SKY both flattered to deceive with a pair of low scores. Gill, who was slated to play against Sikkim on Saturday but was ruled out due to illness , was dismissed for 11 off 12 balls in Punjab 's match against Goa in Jaipur. Coming off two back-to-back injuries, Gill 's return to domestic cricket ended on a disappointing note. He will lead India in a three-match ODI series against New Zealand starting later this week after missing out on the 50-over affair against the Proteas following a neck injury he sustained during the first Test against South Africa in November. Gill, SKY fail to fire with the bat; Samson also flops Gill was dismissed by...
Hyderabad batter Aman Rao made headlines with a breathtaking double century against Bengal in a Group B match of the sixth round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 at the Niranjan Shah Stadium, Khandheri, Rajkot. Rao, who was bought by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 30 lakh at the Indian Premier League (IPL) mini-auction in December, pulverised the star-studded Bengal bowling line-up, featuring the likes of Mohammed Shami, Akash Deep and Mukesh Kumar, to smash the highest List-A score for Hyderabad and the ninth double ton in Vijaya Hazare history. Rao 's majestic knock will help boost his stocks ahead of the IPL 2026, which starts in March. Rao completed his double ton in style, hitting a maximum off the bowling of Akash Deep. His unbeaten 200 off 154 balls (4sx12, 6sx13) powered Hyderabad to a massive total of 352 for 5. Aman 's knock was all about volume, control, intent, and composure against international-standard bowlers. Shami & Co face severe punishment as Rao unleashes...
New Delhi: Steve Smith scored his first century at home since 2017 and the 37th of his career to put Australia in a commanding position in the fifth Ashes Test and, in the process, moved closer to Don Bradman 's long-standing record. Smith 's sensational century helped Australia reach 518/7 at Stumps on Day 3 at the Sydney Cricket Ground, with a significant lead of 134 over England. Smith will resume his innings on 129 on Day 4 and will look to add more runs to his Ashes tally, which is now only behind legendary Australian batter Bradman. Batting alongside Smith is all-rounder Beau Webster, who has played superbly so far with his breezy 48-run knock. During his breathtaking knock, which comprised 15 fours and a maximum, Smith became the second-highest run-getter in Ashes history after surpassing England great Jack Hobbs, who amassed 3636 runs in 41 matches and 71 innings in the Ashes at a superb average of 54.26. Out of his 15 centuries, 13 came against Australia in the...
New Delhi: Following Ruben Amorim 's explosive post-match press conference on Sunday, the Portuguese 's contract termination was a matter of when, not if. The sacking seemed inevitable after Amorim questioned the United hierarchy after the 1-1 draw at Leeds United, but hardly anyone predicted it would be so soon. Hours after his fate-sealing presser, Amorim was handed the pink slip by Man United after 14 months in charge. While United mentioned the decision was made after taking the performances and position of the club into consideration, it was not the only reason behind Amorim 's sacking. "With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, the club 's leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change," United said in a statement. "This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish." Former player and youth coach Darren Fletcher will take charge of of the club against Burnley...
11-year-old racing prodigy Atiqa Mir made a sensational switch from mini to the much harder junior S125 category by becoming the first Indian to seal a top-five finish globally on debut during round seven of the IAME UAE Karting Championship at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. After dominating the championships in the mini category (age 8-12), Atiqa, the first Indian to be backed by Formula 1 Academy, was thrown in at the deep end with the move up to the junior S125 category (age 12-14) in the new year. The karts in the junior S125 category are 30kg heavier (115kg in mini to 145kg in junior) and have three times the horsepower (10 bhp with top speed 105 kmph to 29bhp with top speed of 126 kmph). However, Akcel GP-backed Atiqa thrived under pressure by finishing fifth out of 35 drivers in a male-dominated grid. She also became the first female racer to register a top-five finish in the history of the IAME UAE Championship on debut. Atika thrives in the face of adversity Atika took...
