Why are we talking about the 2030 World Cup now?

We just had the Euros, we’re in the middle of the Olympics and a few weeks ago Matt Slater of The Athletic reported that Saudi Arabia were exploring a bid with Italy to host the World Cup in 2030. Today we ask, who should host the 2030 World Cup?

On May 21st, after 4 largely successful years Nuno Espirito Santo and Wolves decided to part ways. But Wolves' loss is Tottenham's gain. However, it took Tottenham 72 days to hire Espirito Santo and he wasn't their first choice after deals with Antonio Conte, Paulo Fonseca and Gennaro Gattuso fell through.

Wolves' search was far less dramatic, hiring ex-Benfica manager Bruno Lage. Today we ask: how will both managers do at their new jobs and are they good fits?

While the Euros has captured the attention of most English football fans this summer, club football has seen its fair share of chaos. Both Everton and Crystal Palace have had to replace their managers, with each club enduring a long-drawn-out coaching search. But now the dust has settled. 

Today we analyse Everton's decision to hire Rafa Benitez and Crystal Palace's decision to hire Patrick Vieira.

A week ago, FIFPro sent an open letter to its players signaling its desire to solve the issue of fixture congestion. Sadly, scheduled games due to a packed calendar are the norm. We discuss that topic and some potential solutions in our latest episode.

On Wednesday, Germany released their provisional squad for Euro 2020 (2021). It will be the last major tournament for German national team manager, Joachim 'Jogi' Löw. Löw has been the figurehead of German football since he took the reins in 2006. He's won a World Cup and made it to the semi-finals of every Euros he's coached.

Is he suited for club football and if he chooses to coach at the club level, where should he go? We examine those questions and dive deep into his career with Germany in our latest episode.

Less than 2 weeks ago Bayern Munich made headlines by signing RB Leipzig head coach Julian Nagelsmann. But what was noteworthy wasn't that they had poached another young talent from a Bundesliga rival, instead it was the reported €25 million fee they paid.

Recently, the transfers of head coach Adi Hutter from Frankfurt to Borussia Mönchengladbach and Marco Rose from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Dortmund have cost a reported €12.5 million in total. 

Today we look at the growing head coach transfer market.

Karim Benzema is Real Madrid's fourth highest goal scorer of all time and the fifth-highest goal scorer in the Champions League. And yet, he seems a forgotten striker amongst the world elite. Last season he led Real Madrid to a La Liga title and as it stands, Real Madrid is level on points with Atlético in La Liga.

Why isn't he considered all-time great for Real or France? We investigate in our latest episode.
