VIDIC HEADS TO MILAN

Posted on by

After weeks of rumors which were being spread around involving the future of Nemanja Vidic as the Serbian defender had already stated that he had no intentions of extending his contract with Manchester United, Inter Milan has confirmed that Vidic will be joining the Italian team at the end of the current season and the new President of Inter Milan, Erick Thohir revealed his emotions after announcing the deal.

“Vidic is a world-class player.  I’m extremely happy to have completed this deal to bring Nemanja to Milan. He’s one of the world’s best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree and charisma will be an asset to the team and help bring through our younger players. He will bring added value to the club and is another piece of the great Inter side we are building.” Thohir confessed.

Inter Milan is also being linked with Arsenal’s Podolski who has only made a limited number of appearances with his club due to injuries and after successfully signing Nemanja Vidic from Manchester United, Inter Milan wants to continue adding players which will help them for the upcoming seasons.

Patrice Evra is nearing the end the end of his contract with Manchester United and Inter Milan is interested in securing the services of the French defender from the same club which they signed Vidic and considering the fact that David Moyes has already revealed his desire of making a huge clear-out by the end of the season, the future of Evra is up for grabs allowing Inter Milan the chance they need on adding more players to their squad.

MACKAY IN?

Malky Mackay might be taking charge as boss at Norwich City in near future. The Canaries have played very poorly in the Premier League of late and the board is believed to be unsatisfied with Chris Hughton who is currently in charge at the club.

Norwich City’s winning percentage in the league matches in the ongoing season is just 20. They have already suffered a total of 10 defeats in the competition and they still have to play 18 more games. They are currently placed at no. 15 in the table, but, they are not too far away from the relegation zone.

Mackay has been a part of Norwich City before, but, as a player, not as a manager. He had remained at the Carrow Road for a period of 6 years during his playing days and had made a total of 212 Premier League appearances for the Canaries.

The 41 years old former Scottish defender was in charge at Cardiff City at the start of the ongoing season and he had guided them to a memorable win against Manchester City pretty early in the season, but, towards the end of 2013, his team lost form and he had to pay the price for that. He got sacked and is currently without a job.

Mackay’s managerial career is not that long. He has just managed two clubs so far, but, he has done a decent job at both those clubs. His overall winning percentage as manager is close to 40 and that’s not bad for a guy who is still new in this field.

However, Norwich City board would like to wait for a few more weeks before taking any decision on Hughton who has been at the Carrow Road since the last one and half years.

CLARKE WILL WAIT

West Bromwich Albion’s coach Steve Clarke is enjoying the last season of his 2 year deal contract with the club and according to the Sporting and technical director of the English club, they will only discuss and talk about having a contract extension in new year.

Richard Garlick, sporting and technical director at the Baggies, said:

“Steve’s contract situation was discussed at last month’s board meeting. We decided we would open talks with him in the New Year which, historically, we feel is the appropriate time to address such matters. Steve is aware of our plans and has told us he is comfortable with the situation.”

Sreve Clarke later went on and talked about the club’s current situation and his future.

“It’s the part of the season where we have to pick up some points,” said Clarke, who became the latest in a series of Baggies bosses to experience a mid-season struggle last term.It’s been levelled at the club over the last three or four years that they haven’t picked up enough points’’.

“It will be interesting to see what happens this year because at the moment we still need plenty of points.”

It seems that West Bromwich Albion will wait for the outcome of the last remaining matches of this year before making a decision concerning their head coach Steve Clarke who is still undecided about whether or not he will remain with the club for another year.

West Bromwich finished in the 16th place last season which a disappointing outcome is taking into consideration their previous 5th spot during the season of 2011-12. Now they are currently sitting in the middle section of the Premier League standings with 14 points secured so far.
