That is more than World Cup winning bosses Joachim Low and Vincente Del Bosque. It’s also more than Italy’s Antonio Conte who won three Serie […]

I think only the true die-hard Azzurri fans will be watching the Euros with any hope of Italy doing really well this summer. Most believe that the Italians have no hope of winning their first European title since 1968 and that this squad represents one of their weakest at a major tournament. Players like Mario […]

Michael O’Neill almost performed miracles as he guided Northern Ireland to their first ever European Championships this summer. In an almost equally miraculous feat the manager has also managed to get the very best out of striker Kyle Lafferty. The beanpole forward earned a £3m move to Rangers in 2008, after impressing at Turf Moor with […]
