      Rita Ora
      If his dalliances were like races, this one might have been his fastest lap.
      In 2016, Hamilton dated You Only Love Me singer Ora, 32, for a brief minute.
      Reports suggested she was infatuated with him and they even went into a studio to record some music together in 2017.
      She cheered him on at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on the weekend of his 31st birthday, but they never confirmed they were an item.

      “We’ve been friends for a while. We get to hang out every now and again…”
      Reports suggested he was willing to take their relationship to the next level, but Rihanna, 35, didn’t want to commit.

      Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s car collection includes a fleet of Ferraris like his new £1.7m Daytona and Porsche worth £650k

      And when it comes to his motors, he still loves them fast and incredibly expensive.
      Zlatan boasts an amazing car collection that’ll be the envy of all dressing rooms around Europe.
      From an impressive fleet of Ferraris, including the recent £1.7million Daytona SP3 he added to his garage to an astonishing £650,000 Porsche – the centre forward is a true petrol head.
      But, he remained true to his roots when he became an ambassador for car makers Volvo, even driving their modest £40,000 XC40 to training at a former club.

      The new addition
      This week, Zlatan really treated himself.
      For his 40th birthday, he bought himself a £400,000 Ferrari Sf90 Stradale.
      He shared an image of his new addition on Instagram, captioning the snap: “Happy Birthday to Zlatan”.
      It’s Ferrari’s first foray into electric cars and can reach a top speed up to 211 mph.
      But, he wasn’t totally convinced by it. Instead, he traded it for a Daytona SP3 with a price tag of £1.7million.
      The mid-engine V12 sportscar can hit 62mph in a staggering 2.86 seconds.
      Reports claim there is only 599 models of the car in the world.
      To treat himself for his 40th birthday, Zlatan splashed £400k on a Ferrari Sf90 Stradale – but he soon traded it in

      Going vintage
      Zlatan clearly has a thing for Italian fast cars, and splashing out on a new set of wheels on his special day.
      In 2019, for his 38th, he bought a rare Ferrari Monza SP2 for a staggering £1.4million.
      He is only one of 499 people in the world that own the supercar.
      The superfast car can hit 0-60 mph in around 2.9 seconds.
      The Ferrari Monza is the most expensive in Zlatan’s car collection
      Capable of reaching 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, the Monza is worth around £1.4m
      Current ride
      However, standing at 6ft 5in Zlatan needs a car that offers him plenty of leg room.
      That’s why, when it comes to training, he prefers an SUV.
      At AC Milan, the centre forward has been spied arriving to training in a £160,000 Lamborghini Urus.
      The Urus is a favourite of footballers at the moment, including former Man Utd star Cristiano Ronaldo who was once seen driving to Carrington in one.

      Statement red
      Only 400 Ferrari Enzo cars exist in the world, and Zlatan has one of them.
      Seen as a collector’s item, it’s a motor that can be sold for over a million pounds at auction.
      It was developed in 2002 using Formula One technology, including a a carbon-fibre body and F1-style automated-shift manual transmission.
      Although, we’ve rarely seen Zlatan driving it.
      Zlatan is one of 400 lucky owners who have a rare Ferrari Enzo worth around £1m
      Spider Man
      Between 2005-2009, the Ferrari F430 Spider was a footballers’ favourite.
      Chelsea legend John Terry, who himself is a Ferrari obsessive, was seen driving one around the streets of Surrey.
      When it was released, it carried a price tag of around £120,000.
      Nicknamed their ‘Baby Enzo’, it can hit 0-62 mph in four seconds.

      Top of the range Porsche
      Zlatan loves anything limited edition.
      Which is why he bought a £700,000 Porsche Spyder in and around 2014.
      Only 918 models were made of the supercar, which sold out completely in 2015.
      It was only the second plug-in hybrid car Porsche ever produced.
      Only 918 models of the Porsche Spyder exist in the world
      ANOTHER ITALIAN MASTERPIECE
      Italian gentleman’s car makers Maserati are renowned for their luxury vehicles.
      So, it goes without saying, Zlatan used his extensive time playing in Italy to research enough about the stylish car manufacturers.
      In about 2011, he bought a GranTurismo MC Stradale worth around £92,000.
      Under the hood, it boasts a 450 hp V8 engine and has a top speed of 187 mph.

      COMPANY CAR
      In 2014, Zlatan became an ambassador for Swedish car manufacturers Volvo, appearing in a series of ads.
      Now, many footballers won’t often be seen driving the cars they’re sponsored for.

      However, when Ibrahimovic was playing for Manchester United he was a happy with their XC90 model costing around £52,000.

      Often, he would drive it to training and park it amongst a fleet of Lamborghinis and Range Rovers.
      And you can bet no one would’ve been brave enough to give him any stick for it.

      Man Utd and Man City target Cher Ndour has been called the ‘next Pogba’ and is set to be the latest Benfica transfer

      But the next to come straight from the Caixa Futebol Campus conveyor belt might just be the best.
      Italian wonderkid Cher Ndour, 18, has been turning heads for Benfica’s B team, where he has been described as the ‘next Paul Pogba’.
      And with his contract set to expire this summer, a massive scramble for his signature is expected.
      Man City are the latest side to join the race, with Man Utd, PSG, Juventus and AC Milan all in the chase.

      It started for Cher in his native Brescia.
      Young promise
      Born and raised in the northern Italian region of Lombardy, Ndour played for the Serie B side’s youth team from the age of eight.
      By 11, he was snapped up by Atalanta and continued his development in Bergamo.
      His rapid growth made him stand out on the pitch. By 16 he stood at 6ft2in tall.

      HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON FOOTBALL
      He wasn’t all skin and bone though. Blessed with strength and a flawless technique, bigger foreign clubs showed an interest.
      Barcelona circled, as did Benfica.
      It was the Primeira Liga outfit he chose for his next adventure.
      “I already had the desire to have a new experience, and Benfica is one of the clubs that bets more on young players,” he told BTV.
      “Since I know there’s that bet, I want to try to get to the first team fast.”
      Ndour chose to join Benfica because he believed it would aid his development
      Record breaker Ndour became Benfica’s B’s youngest ever player at 16
      Fast tracked
      Ndour made his debut for Benfica B at the tender age of 16 years and 269 years.
      His appearance beat the record set by Joao Felix as the youngest to represent the club at that level.
      It was a debut that would allow him to cement a position in the side who play their games in Portugal’s second division.
      The playmaker, who can play in a more advanced role, has gone to appear 56 times in total for Benfica’s B side and has contributed five goals since.
      Back in March, Ndour made his senior debut for the club in a 5-1 win against Vitoria SC.
      At international level, he has been capped by Italy at U15, U16, U18 and U20 level.
      They have bright hopes for the talent, although it has been reported he is reluctant to return home just yet – quashing chances of a Juventus bromance with Paul Pogba, who he is the apparent heir to.

      Inside Mauricio Pochettino’s inner circle, with sports scientist son and ex Olympic champ, set to take over at Chelsea

      CHELSEA’S hunt for their fourth manager since Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali took over the club is seemingly coming to a close.Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be named the new Blues boss this week.

      The Argentinian, 51, will take over from interim boss Frank Lampard, who is likely to continue until the end of the season.
      Former PSG boss Poch will inherit a bloated squad full of superstars, after the Blues splurged over £600million across two transfer windows.
      To encourage harmony, he will bring with him his trusted backroom staff.
      These include his sports scientist son and an ex Olympic champion.

      Jesus Perez, Assistant Manager
      Spaniard Perez, 51, is held in such high-regard by the former Tottenham manager he has described him as an “extension of myself.”
      They started their Premier League odyssey at Southampton, a job which the assistant convinced his manager to take despite speaking very little English at the time.
      But you have to go back as far as 2010 when their paths first crossed at Espanyol.
      Perez was brought into the club by sporting director Ramon Planes, before he worked alongside Poch on the basis of being the only coach at the LaLiga side who knew how to use prototype match analysis software.

      Obsessed with fitness, he is widely regarded as helping both Southampton and Tottenham become one of the fittest teams in the country.
      His fitness plan is believed to have aided the physical development of Harry Kane.
      Miguel D’Agostino, Assistant Coach
      When Pochettino played at Newell’s Old Boys in Argentina under Marcelo Bielsa, he formed a close friendship with fellow defender D’Agostino.
      The bruising centre back’s distinguished career saw him play in Chile, Ecuador, France, Mexico and Spain, before he hung up his boots in 2003.
      After he retired, D’Agostino, 51, tried his hand at coaching and worked at Canet-en-Rousillon, Brest and Dubai CSC.
      In 2009, Pochettino invited his friend to Espanyol, where he began scouting for the club.
      Soon, he became a full-time member of the coaching staff – filming training sessions and providing analysis.
      However, D’Agostino almost drowned when he was thrown overboard on a rafting trip with Pochettino in Argentina, where they were also joined by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.

      Toni Jimenez, Goalkeeper Coach
      Jimenez, 52, played between the sticks for Espanyol and then Atletico Madrid, after starting his career at Barcelona.
      He was also capped three times for Spain.
      But his international career is best remembered for appearing at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, where he was picked ahead of Valencia legend Santiago Canizares.
      The shotstopper, who featured in a team that had the likes of Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique in the first eleven, would win a gold medal with his country.
      When he retired from football, Jimenez worked as a director at Espanyol before completing his coaching badges alongside Pochettino.
      France World Cup winner Hugo Lloris has been complimentary about the pair’s coaching techniques in the past.
      “When I first met Toni and Mauricio, I started spending more time in the gym and looking after my body, developing more muscle and improving my technique,” Lloris revealed.
      “I spend a lot of time with him and with Toni looking at videos and they showed me what they expected from me. 
      “The first few weeks, you wonder if what they are trying to do will work but after you start to notice at training and later in the game and then you think, ‘Okay, maybe they’re right’.”

      Sebastiano Pochettino, Sports Scientist and Fitness Coach
      Despite being Poch’s son, there’s is no sentiment with appointing Sebastiano.
      The eldest of his clan at 28, he began working with his dad at Tottenham in 2016 as a sports scientist and fitness coach.
      Before his appointment he received a first class honours degree from Southampton Solent University in Applied Sports Science.
      He moved with his father to PSG, where he completed a Masters in the ‘Integrative Biology of the Adaptations to Exercise for Health and Performance’ at Paris-Saclay University.
      English, French and Spanish speaking, Sebastiano specialises in injury prevention and strength and conditioning training.
      Back in 2017, Poch denied nepotism when it came to his son and insisted he could go on to work for another manager.

      Karina Pochettino, Wife
      The person who Poch trusts the most is wife, Karina.
      They met at a Rosario nightclub called Arrow in 1991, and it was love at first sight.
      Three years later the pair walked down the aisle as his career with Newell’s Old Boys was taking off.
      She lives a very private life and is very rarely seen in football circles.
      However, Karina, 49, was said to be instrumental in convincing her husband to manage on our shores.

      Poch wobbled on the idea when Southampton offered him the post in 2013 because of his lack of English.
      That’s when Karina stepped in and said he should give it shot. The rest is history.

      But it was Fernando Alonso who was linked with the Anti-Hero singer first.

      Cameron Diaz
      Something About Mary star Diaz is a huge fan of the glitzy Monaco Grand Prix.
      She was spotted mingling with the Mercedes AMG Petronas team in the paddock before the 2013 race.
      And she must have brought them luck – with Nico Rosberg victorious on that occasion.
      But Diaz has always had a need for speed.
      Speaking about inheriting her mum’s VW van, she admitted: “The moment I got my hands on it, I would get it up to 80mph in the fast lane. It was so big, no one wanted to drive near me. It was a case of ‘Get out of my way.’

      Rihanna
      When your mates with Lewis Hamilton, it’s a given you will get an invite to a race.
      The pair were rumoured to have dated, although the seven-time world champion shot those rumours down and confirmed they were just good pals.
      The Umbrella singer got more than to just attend a meet.
      Instead, she closed the Abu Dhabi grand prix by performing an epic concert filled with her greatest hits.

      Worst tattoos on sports stars, from Beckham to Sancho, Bellerin, Dele, Hart and a Tokyo 2020 mistake

      by

      THEY say money can’t buy you taste.And for all the millions today’s top athletes make – whether it be footballers or any other sports star – it appears that mantra has never been more true than when applied to tattoos.
      Goalkeeper Joe Hart shows off his eyesore of a tattooCredit: Refer to Caption
      Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart proved that with the massive block of ink across his right shoulder.
      And not even the unofficial King of Cool David Beckham is immune to an occasional style blunder.
      Here’s a look at some of the worst around.
      Dele Alli

      Look past the gold bling and you will see former Spurs star Alli’s permanent tribute to Bamm Bamm from the Flinstones.
      A somewhat unconventional choice, Alli – whose first name is Bamidele – is thought to have got it because his nickname is Bam Bam.David Beckham

      A fashion icon the world over and hugely admired midfielder, we’ll let Becks off for this one given he’s barely put a foot wrong in the past, apart from that sarong, those cornrows and that all-leather get-up…
      Beckham has more than 40 tattoos but this one is probably the strangest, not least because of where it is.

      Derlis Ayala
      The Olympic runner got Tokyo 2020 tattooed on his calf – before the Games was postponed by a year due to coronavirus.
      Ayala qualified for Tokyo after finishing fifth overall in the Buenos Aires Marathon in September 2019.
      He previously represented Paraguay in the 2016 Olympics in Rio in the marathon where he finished in 136th place – got the Olympics rings plus the date and location inked on.

      Those are not hieroglyphics down the prolific striker’s forearm but the Elvish language from Lord of the Rings.
      Aguero must be a pretty big fan of the film, then, huh?
      Er, no. But he must at least know what it means? Nope – he hasn’t even seen the movie.Nicolas Otamendi
      Most people get tattoos of the things that are most important to them – family members, dates and religious symbols.
      Former Man City ace Otamendi, though, clearly loves watching TV so much and has inked stars from hit shows Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders and Vikings on his back.
      At the top of his back, the Benfica defender has Walter White, the main character in Breaking Bad, while lower down there is an image of Peaky Blinders protagonist Thomas Shelby.

      To the left appears to be Ragnar Lothbrok from Vikings.
      They make up what is an impressive collection including a pocket watch, a lion, a bear and the more regular tattoos such as names of some of his family members.
      Jadon Sancho

      It’s easy to make the link between rapid England winger Sancho and his tattoo of Sonic the Hedgehog.
      After that, things become a bit of a stretch.
      Having the Simpsons daubed on his arm can perhaps be likened to his former team Dortmund side’s famous Yellow Wall – if you were really trying.
      But Spiderman? There’s only so much Cartoon Network one man can need.Hector Bellerin

      When he’s not flaunting questionable clobber at fashion shows, Bellerin likes to pose in retro-style photos, get tattoos and play football.
      Here, he dedicates his commitment to his defensive position by getting his shirt number permanently etched on his thigh.
      Erik Lamela

      Dodgy tattoos have no allegiance and could not care less about who ruled North London.
      But when Erik Lamela was playing for Spurs, he showed off this corker of a tattoo.
      Yes, it’s a picture of a loveable bulldog.Artur Boruc

      Just awful.
      No. Not even doing a ‘monkeying around’ pun for this.Eljero Elia
      Eljero Elia spelled Feyenoord incorrectly and got the date of his Cup final win as May 24 rather than April 24Credit: Instagram
      Spell the name of your club incorrectly? Check. Get the date wrong of the final you played in and won? Check.
      Feyenoord winger Elia had a stinker with this tattoo back in 2016, but got it corrected to display the correct details.Uros Vitas
      Vitos’ inking was a nice thought… but should have remained just a thought
      Fair play to Serbian defender Vitas for showing off the love of his life, Andrijana, in tattoo form.
      Shame it looked so frightening.
      Marcelo Brozovic

      Inter midfielder Brozovic got this ‘epic Brozo’ tattoo to match his equally epic celebration whenever he scores.
      Not only is it in a peculiar position on the top of his hand, he also opened a bar in his native Croatia with the name Epic Brozo and, yep, you guessed it, an image of the winking face.Amato Ciciretti

      He is the journeyman Italian who now plays for Ascoli in Serie B, but Ciciretti must be social media famous to go to the lengths of having his Twitter handle tattooed on his calf?
      Surprisingly, no. Instead, the 29-year-old removed his account after amassing just over 2,000 followers, and tweeting just 31 times Any regrets, Amato?Nile Ranger

      Perhaps it was just in case he forgot. Nile Ranger – or, as the tattoo would suggest, Nile Ranges – went through the unnecessary pain of having his surname printed above his eye.
      To be fair to the former Newcastle striker who has a smiley face tattooed inside his mouth, there wasn’t much space left on the rest of his body.
