Sheffield Utd boss says football is ‘worst sport’ for racism
LONDON: Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom says football is the “worst sport” for racism, calling for tougher punishments to stamp out abuse. United goalkeeper Wes Foderingham took to Instagram to reveal he had suffered from “racism and family threats” after last week’s 2-1 defeat at Tottenham. Heckingbottom revealed police have spoken to the former Rangers keeper about the incident, which he said reflected a larger problem in society. “You can say it’s all social media and people are tough on there and they can say what they want,” he said on Friday. “You can take it away, but it is deeper than that because it’s inside people.” He added: “It’s sad — I think we are the worst sport for it.

Nagelsmann named coach of Euro 2024 hosts Germany
MUNICH, Germany: Julian Nagelsmann has been given nine months to revive flailing Germany ahead of hosting Euro 2024 after being named as the sacked Hansi Flick’s successor as national team coach on Friday. Germany fired Flick with the national team struggling, the German football association (DFB) fearing another embarrassing performance in a major tournament, this time as hosts at next year’s European championships. Former Bayern Munich boss Nagelsmann has signed a deal until the end of next July, allowing the 36-year-old to leave after Euro 2024. “We have a European Championship in our own country — that’s something special,” Nagelsmann said in a statement. “I have a great desire to take on this challenge.” Nagelsmann said he signed the short-term deal “to keep the Euros in focus” but insisted he “would not rule out” an extension. Flick, who became the first coach in Germany history to be sacked, had won just four of 17 matches leading up to his dismissal and took the team to a disappointing group-stage exit at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

DFB president Bernd Neuendorf called Nagelsmann “an outstanding coach” and said: “We are convinced (he) will ensure that the national team inspires its fans and that the Euros are also a sporting success.” Flick was sacked after a humiliating 4-1 friendly loss to Japan in Wolfsburg in early September.

DFB sporting director Rudi Voeller called Nagelsmann “an absolute football expert” and said he had “proven himself at a very
