      Jose Mourinho lined up for shock return to Real Madrid ten years after sacking with Ancelotti set for international job

      by

      JOSE MOURINHO is being lined up with a shock return to Real Madrid if Carlo Ancelotti departs, reports claim. The legendary Portuguese boss is currently into his second season as boss of Roma, the latest job in his two decade long managerial career.
      Jose Mourinho would make his impact felt at Real Madrid – and managed to make the rivalry with Barcelona even more intenseCredit: Getty
      He left Real Madrid in 2013 after a largely successful but controversial reign at the helm of one of Spain’s biggest clubs.
      And 10 years on he is being tipped as a potential option to take over at the Bernabeu.
      Ancelotti’s future is uncertain with the Italian manager repeatedly linked with the Brazil international job.
      And Mundo Deportivo report that Madrid club president Florentino Perez is already drawing up options in case they need a replacement.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Along with Mourinho, the likes of former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel and ex-Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino are believed to be in contention.
      Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso and highly-rated Eintracht Frankfurt head coach Oliver Glasner are also reportedly among the names being considered, as well as another potential returnee in Zinedine Zidane.
      Mourinho joined Real Madrid in 2010 after leaving Inter Milan.
      He would win only the Copa del Rey during his first season as he crossed swords with Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola for the first time.

      But in his second year at Madrid he would not only win the league but break records for most points, most goals, best goal difference, most away wins and most overall wins.
      The Champions League would elude him during his three years at Madrid and the club have gone on to win Europe’s grandest competition a staggering five times since his departure.
      Ancelotti, the mastermind of the most recent Champions League victory, appears increasingly likely to leave the club at the end of the season.
      Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson even spoke confidently about the Italian taking over his country of Brazil in recent days.
      After reporting for international duty, the 29-year-old said: “I spoke to Casemiro, Vinicius and Militao… there’s a big possibility that Carlo Ancelotti is gonna become the new coach of Brazil.” More

      ROBBIE SAVAGE wants to cough up for unpaid BBC staff hit by the Gary Lineker crisis, reports say.The Six-O-Six presenter revealed he was “inclined to work” during last weekend’s blackout but wasn’t brave enough to be a “scab” and now feels “guilty”.

      The Mirror say the former Wales midfielder has offered to pay the £1,000 wages his radio show’s production team missed out on.
      The BBC took Lineker off air after he sparked a huge row with a tweet likening the Government’s language over their new immigration and small boats policy to that of 1930s’ Germany.
      Match of the Day colleagues Ian Wright, Alan Shearer and Co stood down in support of their fellow ex-England striker in the dispute over impartiality.
      And the Beeb’s usual football coverage was almost completely wiped out as other staff followed suit.

      Lineker will be back this weekend for FA Cup coverage after coming to an arrangement with BBC bosses while rules on social media are reviewed.
      But Savage was reportedly split over what to do as the crisis erupted.
      The Mirror quote the former Leicester workhorse as saying: “I was inclined to work.
      “But I didn’t have the guts to go through with it because nobody wanted to be that ‘scab’ who broke ranks.”

      Formula One team bosses rich list revealed ahead of Saudi Arabia GP – including Spice Girls hubby’s countryside manors

      by

      IT’S a nail-biting job, but being a team principal in the world’s most expensive sport certainly comes with some incredible perks. Just ask Formula 1 bosses Toto Wolff and Christian Horner, who have millions in their bank accounts and enjoy the finer things in life.

      Principals are the face of their teams and the decision makers who come up with strategies to ensure the success of their drivers.
      And ahead of the Saudi Arabia GP, the pressure is on Toto and Mercedes as they look to claw back points, after reigning champ Max Verstappen crossed the line first in Bahrain.
      This season a few new principals joined the familiar faces around the paddock.
      Ahead of Jeddah, we take a look at the richest people at the helm of F1 teams.

      Toto Wolff – 478m

      With a staggering estimated £478million in his coffers, the Mercedes – AMG Petronas boss is currently the richest team principal on the grid.
      He’s also the second-highest paid, taking home £7.6million a year.
      The Austrian, 51, who started off as a racing driver himself, owns a 33 per cent stake in the Mercedes team, as well as being its managing director and executive director. 
      Many critics and fans have attributed much of Mercedes’ success to him – under his watch, the team has notched up 114 wins. 
      Most read in Motorsport
      He’s also been instrumental in the career of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, considered two of the greatest drivers of all time. 
      Off the grid, Toto is married to Susie, a Scottish former racing driver, and they share two kids.
      Christian Horner – £41.4m

      As team principal of Red Bull since 2005, Christian Horner is the highest-paid team boss and has a salary of around £8.2million a year. 
      He’s got the trophies to show for it, as he’s successfully led the team to nine world titles. 
      Like Toto, he started off as a driver and had some success in the late 90s – even founding his own team, but ended his driving career in 1998 at just 25.
      Christian worked in team management before joining Red Bull in 2004 and ascending to the top within a year. He’s now worth an estimated £41.4m.
      Away from the grid, the Englishman is married to Spice Girl Geri and they share two homes, in Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire. 
      Their Oxfordshire property is breathtaking, boasting an indoor swimming pool, a pond for boating and huge grounds where they go horse riding. 
      Otmar Szafnauer – £4.1m

      Although he’s the most experienced team principal, having been in the sport since 1989, Otmar’s salary is considerably less than Toto and Christian’s. 
      As the boss of Alpine, a position he has held since 2002, he is paid around £822,500, and worth an estimated £4.1m.
      Like many other principals on the grid, he also had a short stint as a driver back in the early 90s. 
      But it was his work away from the driver’s seat that brought him into the limelight.
      After working as Operations Director at British American Racing, he joined Force India in 2009, which later rebranded as Aston Martin. 
      Franz Tost – £4.1m 
      Franz Tost has been overseeing AlphaTauri since 2005 and takes home £822,500 a yearCredit: Rex
      Franz Tost also has a ton of experience under his belt – he’s been the team principal at AlphaTauri since 2005. 
      The 67-year-old was appointed after Red Bull took over Minardi, and is the oldest team principal on the grid today. 
      Before that, he was a driver and even won the Formula Ford 1600 title in 1983. 
      He quit a few years later and worked his way up the ranks of team management.
      Franz was first signed by Williams and remained there for five years before leaving for Red Bull. 
      As one of the longest-tenured team principals on the grid, he is paid £822,500 a year, and worth around £4.1m.

      James Vowles – £4.1m 
      James Vowles has a £4.1million fortune and is the new team principal at WilliamsCredit: Rex
      This is Englishman James’ first season as Williams’ team principal after serving as Mercedes’ motorsport strategy director. 
      He made his Formula 1 debut as an engineer for the Honda racing team before moving on as a strategist for Brawn GP. 
      James joined Williams at the end of 2022 and at the age of 44, is one of the youngest team principals on the grid, with an estimated £4.1million fortune.
      James has a motorsport degree from Cranfield University – a qualification which is uncommon for bosses at F1.
      He also likes to dabble in driving, making an appearance at last year’s Asian Le Mans Series.
      Guenther Steiner – £4.1m

      Guenther, 57, is one of the most colourful team principals Formula 1 has ever seen, as evidenced by his appearance in Netflix’s Drive to Survive.
      He has been at the helm of Haas since 2014 after previously serving as managing director of Jaguar and technical operations director at Red Bull.
      The Italian American began his career as a mechanic in Belgium for the Mazda Rally Championships.
      While at Red Bull, he was contacted to build the Haas team from scratch, which has helped him build up an impressive £4.1million fortune, approximately.
      He is paid £822,500 a year for his work as the team’s leader.
      Alessandro Alunni Bravi – £4.1m
      Italian Alessandro is also a lawyer and has been serving as the Team Representative of Alfa Romeo since last yearCredit: Getty
      Last year Alfa Romeo decided to move away from the team principal formula and introduced a management structure to oversee the team.
      One of the members of the management team includes Alessandro Alunni Bravi, who is worth an estimated £4.1million.
      The 49-year-old Italian, who is also a qualified lawyer, has the new position of Team Representative and will perform most of the roles of a principal when dealing with F1 bosses and sponsors.
      He was previously the team principal of the trident GP2 team and has served as a board member of Sauber since 2017.
      Frederic Vasseur – £2.5m
      Frederic Vasseur took over from Mattia Binotto this seasonCredit: Rex
      The new Ferrari boss has built up a wealth of experience as the principal of teams like Renault, Alfa Romeo and Sauber.
      The 54-year-old Frenchman studied aeronautics and founded his own team in 1996 which went on to win several trophies in the junior formulae.
      Frederic is credited for overseeing Lewis Hamilton’s success in the Formula 3 Euroseries and helping him to win GP2 titles in the mid-2000s.
      Last year it was announced he would be replacing Mattia Binotto as the boss of Ferrari.
      Although he’s now worth an estimated £2.5million, it’s probably only a matter of time before this figure shoots up as he will be paid £5.2million in his new role.
      Andrea Stella – £1.2m

      Andrea Stella will most likely see a boost to his estimated £1.2million net worth thanks to his lucrative £5.2million-a-year role at McLaren.
      The 52-year-old Italian was announced as Andreas Seidl’s replacement following his decision to leave the team after a four-season run.
      Andrea’s appointment is an internal promotion as he previously served as the team’s executive director.
      He’s got an impressive history to back up his eye-watering salary – he has worked with some of the greatest drivers including Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso.
      Mike Krack – £800k
      Mike Krack’s net worth is likely to shoot up with a reported salary of £822,500Credit: Getty
      Mike Krack has overseen the Aston Martin team since 2002 and is reportedly worth over £800,000.
      He replaced Otmar Szafnauer in the team and is set to take home around £822,500 a year, which will surely boost his bank balance.
      The 50-year-old engineer from Luxembourg previously worked with Sebastian Vettel for a year from 2006, when the racer began his career.
      Read More on The Sun
      He’s also worked in Formula 3 and has moved between teams like BMW and Porsche.
      Mike recently defended driver Lance Stroll – son of the Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll – claiming he is “strongly undervalued”. More

      I’m a former Blackburn Rovers striker but now I’m a painter decorator… I look unrecognisable in my work gear

      by

      A FORMER Blackburn Rovers striker turned painter decorator now looks “unrecognisable” in his work gear.Hat-trick scorer Simon Garner, 63, dons a paint spattered fleece to work instead of the blue and white kit of his Ewood Park days.
      Hat-trick scorer Simon Garner, 63, dons a paint spattered fleece
      Garner, who spent four weeks in prison in 1996 for contempt of court during a “messy” divorce from his first wife, went through a number of jobs following his successful football career.
      The goal-scorer has now traded in the glory of his 1980s title as “Blackburn’s all-time leading scorer” for the acclaim of not spilling a pot of paint in 20 years.
      But the Lincolnshire lad also spent three months as a postman and “a short time” managing council houses for Wycombe Wanderer’s former owner Steve Hayes before settling down in his new career.
      He fell into painting and decorating after a pal took him under his wing following a conversation in the pub.
      Read More On Football
      He said: “Fortunately, this guy gave me the job, taught me the ropes, and after eight months I went on my own.”
      Now based in Cookham, Berkshire, Garner transforms homes with a slick of paint.
      And he said the job’s perfect for him because he can choose which hours he works.
      He finishes work early on the days Blackburn Rovers play and commentating on games in the south for his local radio station.
      Most read in Football
      It comes after Garner’s striking career ended in 2000.
      He started his incredible career at his local club Boston United before joining Blackburn Rovers as an apprentice, turning professional in July 1978 and playing his debut the following season at Newcastle United.
      He played 474 league games for Rovers over his 14-year stint at the club.
      In his final season at Ewood Park, Blackburn were promoted to the Premier League.
      He scored 168 goals in the league and 192 in all competitions – which remains a club record and in February 2019 he was inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame.
      After Rovers he moved to West Bromwich Albion for £30,000 in 1992, Wycombe Wanderers in 1993 and Woking in 1996 before spending a couple of years with non-league Wealdstone.
      He’s previously revealed Rovers had no defence during his time there.
      “We didn’t know how to defend,” he said. “If the opposition scored three, we scored four.”

      Harry Redknapp: Eddie Howe suffered heartbreak under me as a player but he is more than making up for it as a boss

      by

      WHEN I got the job at Portsmouth in 2002, there was one man I wanted as my first signing — Eddie Howe.At 5ft 10in he wasn’t the biggest centre-half, but he was so knowledgeable about the game, he read it so well, I had no doubts he’d do a great job.
      Harry Redknapp knew Eddie Howe would make a good bossCredit: Rex Features

      Sadly, he didn’t get the chance to prove it.
      He injured his knee early on, which kept him out for months, and did the same again in the opening game of the next season.
      Eddie never fully recovered and eventually had to retire. But if his playing days ended sadly, he is more than making up for it as a manager.
      And, right now, I reckon he has got the best job in the country at Newcastle — and I include the likes of Manchester City, Man United and Liverpool.
      read more football news
      In my mind, St James’ Park is the best place to be bar none. Mega money, a huge financial investment, and the most passionate fans in the game… and thousands of them.
      So much so that if Gareth Southgate called it a day tomorrow, Eddie would be on a shortlist of one to replace him as England boss.
      But, you know what, even if that happened — and of course it’s not about to — I’m not so sure that Eddie would actually want it. And why would he?
      Sir Bobby Robson will always be an absolute legend to those mad, passionate Geordies, but I can see a time when Eddie is just as big a hero.

      That’s how highly I rate the job that he’s doing.
      He’s building something really special now at Newcastle and doing it his way, the right way, for all he has huge amounts of dough to spend.
      When Howe was appointed last year, his first task was keeping them up, which he managed with something to spare.
      Then it was all about turning them into regular top-four challengers.
      But as passionate as those Geordie fans are, I’m not sure too many expected it to be as soon as this season. Yet the icing on the cake so far is reaching their first Wembley final in 24 years.
      Sir Bobby Robson will always be an absolute legend to those mad, passionate Geordies, but I can see a time when Eddie is just as big a hero.Harry Redknapp
      And the place will be like a ghost town today when they play Manchester United.
      United are going so well at the minute that it’s a big ask — and having to do it with your third-choice goalkeeper makes life even tougher.
      That doesn’t mean I see it as a lost cause by any means.
      The two teams are so evenly matched, I’ve no doubt Newcastle CAN win, for sure. The key man could be Allan Saint-Maximin, who has such natural ability that there are times when he is almost unstoppable.
      The heart says Newcastle but if I had to put my house on it, the head edges towards United — especially if Marcus Rashford is fit.
      But if those Geordies are disappointed today, there are plenty of good times ahead under Eddie.
      Howe has thrived as boss of NewcastleCredit: Getty Images – Getty

      For me, he is the perfect package and destined to become a cult hero.
      He knows the game, he’s so knowledgeable and fits the bill in every respect.  There just isn’t a box he doesn’t tick.
      Oh, and don’t let that quiet image fool you into thinking he hasn’t got a ruthless streak.
      He’s no soft touch, as he’s shown in sending Ryan Fraser to train with the youth team.
      Read More on The Sun
      Whatever happens against United, it’s only a matter of time before we’ve stopped talking about them not winning a trophy since the 1969 Fairs Cup.
      And I’m certain Eddie will be with them every step of the way — regardless of anything else that’s dangled in front of him. More

      86 per cent of bosses say they have adopted tactics like Alex Ferguson’s ‘hairdryer treatment’ from Prem gaffersCredit: Getty
      Commissioned by CopyBet.com, the quiz polled 1,750 workplace managers with a love of football.
      It found that 86 per cent of bosses think they have adopted traits from Premier League managers.
      Such behaviours include passionate team talks, exuberant celebrations, and calls for decisions to be overturned.
      A CopyBet spokesperson said: “It is exciting to see so many people taking inspiration from the world of football management and putting it into practice at their workplace.

      “This was a fun exercise to see what actions bosses have taken to make themselves better managers in order to improve their workplace performance, whether that’s delivering objectives, boosting team morale, or building relationships.”
      It also emerged Jurgen Klopp is the current gaffer those polled feel most resembles their approach to management – followed by Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho.
      Most read in The Sun
      Of managers gone by, Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are the former leaders who still have the most impact on bosses today.
      Methods likely used by these legends of the game and adopted by many respondents in their own workplace include giving the ‘hairdryer treatment’ – and wearing tracksuits to work.
      Some have arranged for senior staff to attend training with younger members of the staff – the equivalent of senior players being forced to train with the youth side after a misdemeanour.
      Many have some sense of what transfer deadline day is like – including losing star employees to another employer or identifying staff they’d like bring into their own workplace.
      And others have even been warned about their future conduct or got into a spat with rival manager.
      Of those who’ve employed methods used by football managers, 87 per cent believe their leadership skills have improved as a result and 88 per cent think they’ve become better communicators.
      Almost half (45 per cent) opted to embrace such techniques in the hope of achieving team objectives, while 42 per cent wanted to improve team spirit.
      However, 36 per cent simply want to create a bit of fun in the workplace.
      And they seem to have been largely successful, as 53 per cent claimed employee motivation improved and 45 per cent believe their team found their methods inspirational.
      Carried out through OnePoll, the study found 62 per cent claim there’s not much difference between managing staff and a team of football players.
      Two in five believe they have all the attributes needed to become a top football manager, with 37 per cent claiming such a role would be “easy.”
      Read More on The Sun
      The spokesperson for CopyBet.com added: “It goes to show just how much influence football has on our everyday lives, including in the workplace.
      “Bosses have adopted traits from some of the best managers in the history of football and continue to take inspiration from the current crop.”
      Which football gaffer is your boss like?These are the top ten football managers UK bosses claim to be like:
      1.    Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool)
      2.    Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)

      Following Jesse Marsch’s dismissal by Leeds, Redknapp was linked with a sensational return to Premier League management.
      However, contact was never made between Leeds and the former Tottenham boss.
      And Redknapp has now taken to talkSPORT to put the rumours of him coming out of retirement at the age of 75 to bed.
      When asked by Ray Parlour if he was waiting to catch a train to Leeds from London Euston, Redknapp quipped: “I would, Ray. I would do it, but it coincides with Cheltenham week.”

      Redknapp continued: “So really, I can’t miss Cheltenham. I really can’t miss Cheltenham – I’m up there with you lads on the Thursday, I’ve got a couple of runners hopefully.”
      On whether there were conversations, Redknapp said: “No, I don’t know where it came from, Ray.
      “Someone rang me yesterday, and I said ‘What are you talking about? It’s not April 1st is it?’
      “I mean, it came out of the air. So yeah, no idea, Ray.”

      When pressed on whether he would get back into management, an enthusiastic Redknapp said: “Yeah I would, yeah. I would do it. Ray, I love it. I wouldn’t say no anywhere.
      “But I’m not going to get the Leeds job, not a chance.
      “But yeah, if someone asked me to go in and work there…
      “Yeah I’d go there [keep a team up], no wages, bonus for keeping them up – that’s the move.”
      Another manager in their 70s has returned to professional football.
      Neil Warnock came out of retirement aged 74 to take charge of Huddersfield – a team he managed in the 90s.
      Redknapp has tipped Warnock to “wind up” his Huddersfield team and pick up some results to beat the drop from the Championship. More
