The Guardian Football‘I need to prove I belong here’: Andoni Iraola stays humble in new Liverpool era
Head coach has no illusions as to the scale of the task and wants to start by reconnecting the team and supporters It was Andoni Iraola’s humility that made the biggest impression at his unveiling as Liverpool’s new head coach on Monday. Without fanfare or bombast the 44-year-old promised not to change as a result of landing the biggest job of his coaching career and also to connect with club and city alike. “The magic of being the Liverpool manager,” as he nicely described the opportunity. And without being asked directly, it was Iraola who insisted he must prove himself at Anfield. For all the magic he produced during three years at Bournemouth, ending with European qualification for the first time in the club’s history and approaches from Crystal Palace and Milan, the Basque coach knows the move to Liverpool represents a considerable leap. It is a leap he feels ready to take. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballFrance unleashed: reinvention could earn Deschamps all-time great status | Nick Ames
Head coach has found a way to get the best out of his glittering attack and has a second World Cup in sight It was a night when, as Didier Deschamps put it, the light went out by half-time. A remodelled France side had been comfortably beaten by Italy in their Nations League opener and a Parisian crowd made their feelings perfectly clear upon the conclusion. Three days later Les Bleus ’ roadshow moved to Lyon for a meeting with Belgium, where the head coach’s name was booed before kick-off. Deschamps attributed that to provincial enmities but there was the clear sense of a once glorious tenure outlasting its welcome. Almost two years on, Deschamps stands on the verge of genuine greatness. How can the assessment be any other way when, should the next six days go to plan, he would be only the second manager to win the World Cup twice? The power is firmly back on for France and will surge to new levels if they underline his renaissance against Spain. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballWorld Cup 2026 power rankings: who leads the pack as semi-finals loom?
We assess the teams who played in the last eight as the business end of the tournament approaches Didier Deschamps has seen it all before and certainly does not fear even the lowest of blocks. It is clear everyone is afraid of Les Bleus, which is understandable, and they are using it to their advantage. It is admirable how teams keep France quiet for lengthy periods but the game is too long to completely silence Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé. Against Morocco an hour of patience was required but these forwards are used to it and Mbappé produced the magic that has powered this run, following it up with an assist. In a tournament defined by individuals, France have the best of a talented bunch. Continue reading...

He scored twice to see off Norway on Saturday having also bagged a double in the previous round against Mexico. The 23-year-old attacking midfielder loves delivering on the biggest of stages. This is the greatest era of World Cup goal scoring, aided by the expansion of the tournament. The two leading scorers of all time are still in the 2026 edition, with Lionel Messi (21 goals) and Kylian Mbappé (20) joined by Harry Kane (14) in the top six.
