The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has confirmed the termination of head coach Luis Enrique after suffering a disappointing last-16 exit from the World Cup in Qatar by Morocco.

Morocco has become the fourth (4th), African team, to book a place in the last eight after seeing off Spain's challenge. Heroic performances from Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, defender Achraf Hakimi and Sofyan Amrabat were enough to create the upset.

Napoli scoring machine, Victor Osimhen has made a request to the club management for a personal trainer to improve his game. The Super Eagle forward enjoyed a fine campaign with the Partenoppei despite missing out for almost one month as a result of injury.

Former Super Eagle midfielder, Austin Jayjay Okocha has hinted that Senegal will have their way with England ahead of their showdown today in the Qatar 2022 world cup currently in the knockout stage. Okocha said Senegal will have no headache being the number one footballing team in Africa is not a measure to England. The Terenga Lions and the three Lions of England will be up for a clash at the Al-Bayt stadium, in Qatar as other sources have predicted a win to the United Kingdom team in contrary to Okocha’s view.

Belgium manager, Roberto Martinez has stepped down from his role as Belgium national team coach after a woeful group-stage exit at the World Cup. The gaffer further hinted at his return to club football.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been reportedly set to join a Saudi Arabian club, Al-Nassr in a £ 172.9 million deal for each year contract spanning two and half years. The 37years Portuguese international is set to leave Manchester United after his contract was terminated last week following his controversial speech with Piers Morgan earlier this month during an interview. According to Marca, Ronaldo has signed a two and half year deal worth €200m equivalent to £ 173 million for each season, and has accepted to take off shortly after the world cup is over.
