Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak will hold talks with Pep Guardiola over his future amid growing expectation the manager will leave the club at the end of next season.
Over the weekend, it had been natural to wonder, which England team would turn up in Saint-Etienne: The fearsome Lionesses side that won the 2022 European Championship in style and doggedly fought their way to the final of the World Cup?

Khaldoon Al-Mubarak has demanded Manchester City be “judged by the facts and not by claims and counterclaims” as the club’s chairman voiced his “frustration” at the persistent whispering campaign around the Premier League champions.
Former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has been appointed the new boss of Napoli on a three-year deal.
