Brendan Rodgers has been left staggered by the vitriol he has faced after leaving Celtic for Leicester City, telling fans who have abused him: Bloody hell, I m one of you!
Rodgers stepped down as Celtic boss this week to succeed Claude Puel at the King Power Stadium, having won every domestic trophy available during a stint in Scotland that began in May 2016.
The decision outraged sections of the Scottish champions support and a banner was unveiled at Celtic s subsequent fixture against Hearts that read: You traded immortality for mediocrity. Never a Celt. Always a fraud.
In addition, video footage has emerged on social media of fans allegedly singing distasteful chants about Rodgers, prompting a response from Celtic that read: We have no knowledge of who these…
Lyon star Houssem Aouar explained his decision to snub interest from across Europe, insisting he has unfinished business at the Ligue 1 club.
Aouar was tipped to join Premier League side Arsenal, while the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Manchester City and Real Madrid were also linked.
But the 22-year-old French midfielder will remain with the 2019-20 Champions League semi-finalists this season.
[Why did I make] my choice to stay in Lyon? Aouar said after scoring in Lyon s 1-1 Ligue 1 draw against rivals Marseille on Sunday.
I felt that I could still bring something to this team and to this club.
That s why I have made the choice to continue my adventure with Lyon. I hope we will get up and find our form again quickly.
We pres…
Bert van Marwijk has voiced his pleasure after extending his contract as the Netherlands coach until 2016.
The former Feyenoord and Dortmund coach maintained he felt there was a mutual desire to continue his relationship the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) over the long haul.
I ve often said I m very happy with the KNVB, and there is still plenty of talent (coming through), van Marwijk told OnsOranje.
If I have a good feeling (about staying), I think it s okay to remain there for a long time. If I m progressing, I feel that they want to keep me, and that was the case.
However, reports in the Netherlands had suggested that van Marwijk had initially set his sights on only a two-year extension, but eventually gave into the KNVB s offer of four years.
Bert van Marwijk looks set to become South Korea s next coach after KFA official Lee Yong-soo confirmed he had spoken to the Dutchman.
Lee, the head of the South Korean Football Association s (KFA) technical committee, verified on Thursday that he had visited Van Marwijk in Amsterdam to discuss becoming Hong Myung-bo s successor.
Hong quit following South Korea s poor World Cup, where they claimed just one point, and Van Marwijk looks to have shot to the top of the KFA s three-man shortlist.
We will wait a little longer for him to make a final decision, Lee said.
The negotiation will be finalized in about a week.
At the moment, Van Marwijk s decision is the most important factor in making this deal successful.
Should he decide to take …
Garry Monk has hailed the positive atmosphere in the Swansea City squad ahead of Saturday s visit to Burnley in the Premier League.
Swansea City will hit the 40-point mark quicker than in any other season since winning promotion to the Premier League in 2011 if they can get the better of Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday.
The Welsh club s current record for reaching the fabled milestone is March 2 during the 2012-13 season, but a win at Burnley would see them celebrate St David s Day safe in the knowledge they are all but assured of a place in the top flight next term.
It s a big motivation for us, said manager Garry Monk. We have to now use that and go on and do well. We know it will be an extremely tough game and that it won t be easy.

Ryan Babel has had offers from several teams but says Galatasaray have made the most tempting proposal.
The Netherlands international is looking for a new club after being released by Fulham following their relegation from the Premier League in 2018-19.
The 32-year-old has been strongly linked with a return to the Turkish Super Lig, where he won the title with Besiktas in 2016-17.
Despite his past allegiances, Babel says he would have no problem in accepting a move to Galatasaray, although he is yet to decide his future.
They have the best offer at the moment. I don t have to make a secret of that, he told Algemeen Dagblad when asked about the rumours linking him with the Turkish champions.
But there are also discussions with other clubs.
Guidance on heading will be introduced to every level of English football for the 2021-22 campaign, the Football Association (FA) has announced.
The new heading guidance has been agreed between the relevant bodies and will be applicable from the Premier League down to grassroots football and across the England national teams.
The advice will not affect football matches or the rules of the game, but instead the heading that occurs in training sessions, where most heading is performed.
Based on multiple studies by the Professional Football Negotiating and Consultative Committee, the initial focus of the guidance involves high-force headers, which usually follow a long pass (more than 35 metres) or from crosses and set-pieces.
The headers branded high force …
