Even in his playing days, Zinedine Zidane seemed unknowable. As a manager, the sense of distance has only grown. He won three Champions Leagues with Real Madrid without ever giving a sense of what his idea of football looked like.

Zidane is one of five coaches to have won the Champions League on three or more occasions, ranking alongside Bob Paisley, Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique and behind only Carlo Ancelotti. He is the only manager to win three successive Champions Leagues and yet few would consider him one of the game’s elite coaches. In that spell he won one La Liga title. umafrika.club

Jalen Coker is questionable for the Panthers, Xavier Legette ruled out

Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker was able to play in Week 3 after being listed as questionable and they'll be hoping for the same outcome on Sunday night.

Coker was limited in practice by a quad injury for the second straight day on Friday and the Panthers have slapped another questionable tag on him ahead of their game against the Lions. Coker has also dealt with an ankle injury this season and has 18 catches for 222 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

The Panthers will be without wide receiver Xavier Legette (knee) for the second straight game. They have also ruled out guard Damien Lewis (elbow). Cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson are not on the injury report, but the starters will be missing after landing on injured reserve earlier this week.

Right tackle Monroe Freeling returned to full practice, but is listed as questionable pending final clearance from concussion protocol. Defensive tackles Lee Hunter (foot) and Cam Jackson (knee) are also listed as questionable.

Alpinlegenden Hirscher får wildcard til verdenscupen

Den tidligere alpinkongen Marcel Hirscher vil nyte godt av et wildcard til å delta i verdenscupen kommende sesong.
Det opplyser Det internasjonale skiforbundet (FIS) etter et styremøte i Genève denne uken.
Wildcardet har blant annet betydning for startnummeret Hirscher vil få i renn han kjører. Østerrikeren kommer til å start som nummer 31, hvilket betyr at han starter rett etter de aller beste.
Hirscher, som nå konkurrerer for morens hjemland Nederland, satser på et nytt comeback etter et skadeavbrekk på nesten to år.
Den tidligere seiersgrossisten , som har vunnet verdenscupen sammenlagt åtte ganger, gjorde comeback i 2024 etter å ha byttet nasjonalitet. Da fikk han wildcardet som ble innført spesielt for ham. Men etter bare tre renn røk han korsbåndet på trening.
Den alvorlige skaden gjorde at Hirscher gikk glipp av både den sesongen og den påfølgende OL-vinteren.
Lindsey Vonn, en annen stor stjerne, er også tildelt wildcard for kommende sesong. Den amerikanske stjernen har imidlertid ikke vist noen tegn til å ville konkurrere i verdenscupen igjen etter den alvorlige skaden hun pådro seg i OL. (NTB)
