Los entrenadores del Real Madrid con más victorias en Liga
El entrenador que más victorias ha logrado en la historia de la Liga dirigiendo al conjnto blanco: 257 triunfos en 424 partidos ligueros, lo que significa un porcentaje de éxito del 60,61% (perdió 70 encuentros y empató los 97 restantes). Estuvo al frente del equipo en una primera etapa en 1959, al tener que ser intervenido quirúrgicamente el entrenador Fleitas Solich (Muñoz dirigía entonces al Plus Ultra, filial del Madrid), pero su carrera al frente del equipo blanco arrancaría en abril de 1960. Dirigiría a los blancos hasta 1974, consiguiendo la friolera de nueve títulos ligueros, dos Copas, dos Copas de Europa y la primera Intercontinental. Muñoz entrenó a tres generaciones de equipos madridistas: el final de la primera época dorada del club, la transición de los ye-yés (ganó la Sexta con un equipo formado exlusivamente por jugadores españoles) y los comienzos de los 70, con el regreso de los extranjeros. Se marcharía tras perder en Castellón a comienzos de 1974.

US sprint great Justin Gatlin retires
Justin Gatlin announced his retirement from athletics on Thursday, hanging up his spikes after a career tinged by doping controversies that included an Olympic gold medal and multiple world titles. The 40-year-old veteran, who won gold in the 100m at the 2004 Athens Olympics, confirmed his retirement in a post on Instagram titled "Dear Track." "I have loved you track. You gave me tears of sadness and of joy, lessons learned that will never be forgotten," Gatlin wrote. "The torch is passed but the love will never fade. On your mark, get set ... Gone!" Gatlin's retirement had long been expected. He had attempted to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics last year but suffered a hamstring injury at the US trials in Eugene. He completed a 100m and 200m sprint double at the World Championships in Helsinki in 2005, and also won 100m gold at the 2017 Worlds in London, scoring a rare victory over Jamaican icon Usain Bolt in the process.
