E, não à toa, em somente sete meses de Coxa o jogador de 35 anos de idade já atingiu um feito histórico ao se colocar no Top 8 de maiores artilheiros do clube em todo o século.
Somando as atuações de Léo pela Série B do Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil e Campeonato Paranaense, ele marcou 21 gols em 42 aparições pelo clube (média de um tento a cada dois jogos), igualando feito obtido em 2019 por Rodrigão, atualmente na Ponte Preta.
O “Top 3” dessa lista consta com nomes importantes da histórica recente do Verdão como Keirrison (41 gols em 58 partidas) no ano de 2008, Marcel (30 em 57) na temporada 2003 e Alex, autor de 27 tentos em 48 compromissos no ano de 2013.
Para prolongar sua marca, a próxima oportunidade de Léo Gamalho será na próxima terça-feira (26) onde o jogador reencontrará justamente seu último clube brasileiro antes de chegar ao Coritiba: o CRB. A partida em questão, válida pela 32ª Rodada da Série B, acontecerá às 19h (de Brasília) no Estádio Rei Pelé.
Manchester United and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are closing in on the first signing of the INEOS era, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Man Utd’s summer transfer window so far
The Red Devils are yet to make a marque addition ahead of the 2024/25 season, with Ratcliffe and INEOS’ only major decision in recent weeks being keeping manager Erik ten Hag. In fact, the Dutchman has now signed a new Old Trafford deal through until 2026 and said:
"I am very pleased to have reached agreement with the club to continue working together. Looking back at the past two years, we can reflect with pride on two trophies and many examples of progression from where we were when I joined.
"However, we must also be clear that there is still lots of hard work ahead to reach the levels expected of Manchester United, which means challenging for English and European titles. In my discussions with the club, we have found complete unity in our vision for reaching those goals, and we are all strongly committed to making that journey together."
The club have since added Rene Hake and former Red Devils striker Ruud van Nistelrooy as assistant managers, with the only player signings so far coming at academy level.
Man Utd in pole position to sign £25m "menace" who starred at Euro 2024
The Red Devils have set their sights on another defender…
ByTom Cunningham Jul 12, 2024
Teenagers Silva Mexes, the son of former Cardiff and West Brom striker Rob Earnshaw, Australian James Overy, Reading’s Camron Mpofu and Crystal Palace gem Samuel Lusale have all either arrived or are close to arriving at Carrington, and it looks as if the Red Devils are now set to make their first major first-team signing under INEOS and Ratcliffe.
Man Utd agree Joshua Zirkzee deal
The main attacking target at Old Trafford in recent weeks has been Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee. The Netherlands international has been at Euro 2024 in recent weeks amid rumours over a move to Manchester, but it looks as if a deal is now set to go through.
According to transfer expert Romano in the last 24 hours, Man Utd will not pay Zirkzee’s €40m release clause, but instead, Ratcliffe and INEOS will pay a fee slightly more than that over three years.
Zirkzee has already agreed a five-year deal at Old Trafford, and Romano provided more details on Friday morning, including a meeting with Ten Hag, a €42.5m (£35.7m) fee and a medical being underway.
“Joshua Zirkzee day has started with medical tests for new Manchester United player. Face to face meeting with Erik ten Hag will follow then he's gonna sign contract until June 2029 with option for further season. €42,5m fee to be paid in three years to Bologna.”
Zirkzee now looks set to rival or play alongside Rasmus Hojlund, filling the void left by Anthony Martial, who departed as a free agent last month.
A number of players have already left Nottingham Forest this summer, and it appears that the side could be set for further exits from the City Ground before the transfer window closes.
Forest set for further exits this summer
With much of last season clouded by the looming threat of financial sanctions, it had long been known that this summer would see Forest part ways with numerous star players. So far, the window has seen this prediction come true, with a number of players calling time on their careers at the City Ground.

Despite the multitude of players who have already left the club, Forest could be set for further exits, with attacking talents Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga both attracting interest from other sides.
Morgan Gibbs-White celebrates for Nottingham Forest
The duo have both been linked with moves to fellow Premier League side Newcastle United, with the Magpies attempting to bolster their attack ready for next season and cover for the potential loss of Anthony Gordon.
With the Forest departures set to continue, it looks as if a club official is travelling to England to negotiate a deal for another of Nuno Espírito Santo's players.
Club official set for talks over Forest midfielder
Sport Witness has relayed a story from the Turkish press claiming that Fenerbahce are showing interest in Nottingham Forest’s Ibrahim Sangare, with a club official set to travel to England for talks.
The outlet states that Fenerbahce's sporting director, Mario Branco, will be travelling to speak to clubs about both Sangare and Crystal Palace's Jefferson Lerma. It is claimed that the Süper Lig side are still in the market for a new midfielder after seemingly losing the race to sign Tottenham Hotspur's Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, and will choose to pursue one of the other midfielders.
Ibrahim Sangare
Lerma has been previously linked with a move to Fenerbahce, though Sport Witness reports that the Colombian recently played down these rumours in the press. Sangare, on the other hand, is a new name for the Turkish side and could be a likely exit from the City Ground after failing to impress during his time at Forest.
The Ivorian midfielder arrived at The City Ground on deadline day of summer 2023, joining for a reported fee in the region of £30million. In his first season in England, the former PSV man struggled, starting just 13 Premier League games last term.
Speaking shortly after his appointment as Forest manager in December 2023, Espirito Santo spoke of Sangare's struggles, telling the press:
“He is not in his best moment yet. He was seriously ill, he lost weight and has had injury problems. But he is an option for us. I know him and I expect him to help the team. He can be very, very helpful to us.”
Having signed a five-year contract with Forest, the club may choose to persevere with Sangare into the future or just cut their losses and hope to recoup as much of the initial fee as possible this summer.
He will be in the Test role temporarily, with a permanent appointee to be finalised in the coming months
Firdose Moonda11-Dec-2020Quinton de Kock has been named South Africa’s Test captain for the 2020/21 season. de Kock, who already leads the ODI and T20I squads, will only be in the role temporarily, with a permanent appointee to be finalised in the coming months.de Kock’s elevation to the leadership was announced on Friday, and comes eight months after Graeme Smith, South Africa’s director of cricket, said de Kock would not be made the Test captain so that he could “remain fresh”, given his already large basket of responsibilities. However, given the relatively lighter Test schedule in store for South Africa, the selection committee felt de Kock could handle the role for this summer.South Africa are due to play seven Tests, two against Sri Lanka, two in Pakistan and three against Australia. They have no Test cricket scheduled between March and December, by which time they hope to have chosen their long-term Test leader. For now, de Kock has shown willingness to take on the red-ball captaincy and the selectors believe he is the right choice.”Quinton is happy to continue in the role for the next season and is comfortable with the balance of the workload and we back him fully as a captain,” Victor Mptisang, convenor of selectors, said. “We are also pleased with the leadership group in the team and are cultivating a strong individual leadership culture at the same time, so that the team produces a sustainable stream of potential captains for the future.”Ultimately, the decision to appoint de Kock may have come, not because of “time constraints,” as Mptisang suggested but because South Africa do not have a stand-out candidate for the job. Ten months have passed since Faf du Plessis stepped down in February, and in that time, Dean Elgar, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma all made their interest in the position known, but there are question marks around each of them as long-term choices.
“Quinton is happy to continue in the role for the next season and is comfortable with the balance of the workload and we back him fully as a captain. We are also pleased with the leadership group in the team and are cultivating a strong individual leadership culture at the same time, so that the team produces a sustainable stream of potential captains for the future.”Victor Mptisang, convenor of selectors
Elgar was considered the most obvious choice, given his seniority. He has played 63 Tests and has been part of the set-up for as long as du Plessis. Elgar has even done the job once before, against England at Lord’s when du Plessis went on paternity leave in 2017. At the time, he indicated he did not want the job permanently but has since changed his mind. However, South Africa are likely to want to him concentrate leading with the bat. Elgar has 12 Test hundreds to his name but they tend to come at a rate of one or two a season and South Africa might be hoping for a few more.Markram, who is most likely going to partner Elgar at the top, has only just returned to the Test squad after spending most of last summer out of international cricket with a broken finger. He has three hundreds from this last three first-class innings, which bodes well, but had a lean patch in Test cricket before he was injured. Markram needs to show consistency at the highest level but, as a former under-19 captain, chances are if he has a productive season, he could be the named Test captain.The same can be said of Bavuma, who led the Lions franchise to the first-class trophy last summer. Bavuma was dropped last season, prompting a race-based furore, but has not scored a Test hundred since 2016. That has to change before he can be considered for the captaincy. If it does and the runs flow, it will be a tough call between him and Markram.And Maharaj, well-intentioned as his leadership goals may be, has the disadvantage of a being a left-arm spinner in a country of quicks. Although he is first-choice in his department and will play every Test on the subcontinent, he is often not guaranteed a spot in the XI when South Africa play at home, which would make it difficult to make him captain.Rassie van der Dussen’s name has also done the rounds as a possible leader after his impressive showing at the 2019 World Cup (where he was South Africa’s second-leading run-scorer in an otherwise dismal campaign) and scored two half-centuries in his first three Test innings. But van der Dussen’s Test career is only four matches old and he need a little more time in the Test team before he can be promoted to its captain.Van der Dussen also threw his weight behind de Kock during the recent T20I series against England, when questions were asked about whether de Kock was having a tough time handling the pressures of captaining, opening the batting, keeping wicket, balancing a side that had no allrounders available and dealing with changing transformation targets. “I don’t think it’s getting tricky for Quinton de Kock,” van der Dussen had said. “I don’t know why you would come with that angle. Quinny’s a brilliant captain. On the field his cricket mind is absolutely brilliant, in the change-room he’s really good, and he’s one of the best players in the world, as we know.”Luckily, de Kock won’t have quite that many things to think about in Tests. He will bat in the lower middle-order, most likely at No.6 or 7, and the responsibility of laying the foundation will lie with senior batsmen like Elgar, van der Dussen and du Plessis. With Kyle Verreynne in the squad, de Kock may also be relieved of the wicketkeeping gloves, if needs be.The Test squad for Sri Lanka has one allrounder in it, in Wiaan Mulder, and Dwaine Pretorius could join if he recovers from a hamstring injury in time, making team balance a little less complicated. And CSA’s interim board have confirmed that the transformation targets will revert to what they were last season, rather than increase, as was originally planned. That means South Africa need to field, on average over the course of a season, six players of colour of which a minimum of two must be black African. Call it politics or call it necessity, that is what every South African must learn to work with, and de Kock is no different. Welcome to it.
سجل جوردان هندرسون نجم ليفربول السابق، هدفًا لفريقه الحالي برينتفورد، خلال التعادل أمام ليدز يونايتد، بهدف لمثله، في الدوري الانجليزي الممتاز.
وأصبح برينتفورد بعد حصوله على نقطة في مباراة اليوم، في المركز الرابع عشر بـ20 نقطة، بينما يحتل ليدز المركز الـ17 بـ16 نقطة.
ويعد هذا الهدف هو الأول لهندرسون مع برينتفورد، منذ انضمامه الصيف الماضي، واحتفل بهذه المناسبة على طريقة ديوجو جوتا نجم ليفربول الراحل السابق.

وتحدث هندرسون عن زميله السابق الذي توفى في حادث مأساوي، لشبكة “سكاي سبورت”، قائلًا: “كان عيد ميلاد جوتا مؤخرًا”.
وأضاف: “لن ننساه أبدًا، سنذكره دائمًا للأبد، لا يسعني إلا أن أتخيل ما يمر به لاعبو ليفربول، لقد كان صديقاً عزيزاً، لا أسجل كثير من الأهداف لذا فكرت أنه عندما أسجل سأهديه له”.
Enzo Maresca has been tasked with the job of returning Chelsea to the top of the Premier League following his appointment from Leicester City earlier this month.
The Italian arrives at Stamford Bridge following his time with the Foxes in the Championship, where he claimed the league title in his first season in senior management.
Maresca inherits a side on the up, with the Blues finishing in a Europa League place despite a terrible start to the campaign which saw the club win just one of their first six Premier League outings in 2023/24.
Former Leicester manager Enzo Maresca
It’s safe to say he will have a lot of players at his disposal, with owner Todd Boehly making 22 first-team additions during the last two years – with more players expected to follow suit during the transfer window.
There will need to be a compromise to all the new additions, with players needing to be sold from Stamford Bridge during the off-season to balance the books and avoid a punishment from the Premier League for breaking their FFP rules.
Financial Fair Play: What is PSR, how does it work and who's in trouble?
Leicester City have become the latest club charged with an alleged PSR breach, but what could happen next?
ByStephan Georgiou Apr 16, 2024
One player in particular is surely set for an exit from the club after spending the last two years on temporary loan stints away from the Blues.
Romelu Lukaku’s stats at Chelsea since 2021
Despite joining the club for a reported £97.5m fee back in the summer of 2021, striker Romelu Lukaku has failed to provide any value for money, scoring just 15 times in his 44 appearances after rejoining Chelsea.
He’s subsequently been on two separate loan spells away from England, joining Serie A duo Inter Milan and Roma in a bid to reignite his once red-hot form in front of goal.
The Belgian has found the net on 35 occasions between the two loan stints, but it might not be enough to force himself back into Maresca’s plans next season.
Given his expensive fee, the club will look to recoup as much of the money as possible, allowing Lukaku to have a fresh start after a dismal second spell in the Premier League for Chelsea.
However, he’s been selected by his nation to feature at Euro 2024, but his fortunes haven’t changed, producing a below-par display in Belgium’s shock 1-0 defeat against Slovakia yesterday.
Lukaku’s stats for Belgium against Slovakia
Belgium started their Euro 2024 campaign in Germany on Monday afternoon, facing Slovakia – a game in which Domenico Tedesco’s side were huge favourites to win.
However, Lukaku and Co failed to produce any quality, with the striker producing a shambolic display, which led to journalist Francois Plateau branding the 31-year-old as “terrible”.
He featured for the entirety of the contest but only managed 27 touches – an average of just one touch every 3.3 minutes during the unexpected defeat.
He was just as careless when he eventually received the ball, making just 14 passes and losing possession five times while straying into an offside position on two separate occasions.

However, Lukaku’s most disappointing part of his display came in the attacking third, missing three big chances and having two goals ruled out for offside and a foul in the build up to what Belgium thought was a late equaliser.
As a result, the centre-forward was handed a 4/10 match rating by Goal, with the striker receiving the joint-lowest rating of any Belgium player in an afternoon to forget for the nation.
Given his woeful display, Chelsea must cash in on Lukaku, with the attacker evidently a shadow of his former self and looking more sluggish as the months tick by.
They will undoubtedly lose a whole load on their huge investment from a number of years ago, but they can easily recoup a fee in the region of £30m which could allow Maresca to invest the funds generated in a new focal point for the Blues.

Inter Miami manager Tata Martino was fuming postgame after midfielder Yannick Bright was brought down in the box

Inter Miami draw NYCFC 1-1
Herons concede last-gasp equalizer
Tata Martino blasts referee over call
WHAT HAPPENED?
The Herons conceded a last-gasp equalizer in their 1-1 draw with NYCFC Saturday, when Pigeons' midfielder James Sands leapt into the air to smash home a header off a corner kick. It was the U.S. international's first-ever MLS goal, and sent Yankee Stadium into a frenzy, with the final whistle coming seconds after the restart.
However, defender Thiago Martins appeared to shove Miami's Yannick Bright during the play, and despite a VAR review, the goal was deemed good. Miami manager Tata Martino vehemently disagreed, saying the match "lacked a good referee" and that Miami should have earned three points.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
"The team didn't lack anything, but the match lacked a good referee," Martino said in his postgame news conference.
The Herons had five yellow cards handed to players on the pitch throughout the contest, and a pair of yellows – resulting in a red card and immediate ejection – to a staff member sitting close to Tata Martino in the 66th minute.
Miami scored through forward Leonardo Campana shortly after that frenzy, with the Ecuadorian bagging an effort in the 75th minute, but Sands' late header resulted in the two sides each walking away with a point.
"We had a good game, we should've won," Martino added. "If the referee would've called the foul committed against Yannick Bright, we would've won the game 1-0."
DID YOU KNOW?
Miami are still sitting first in the race for the 2024 MLS Supporters' Shield, despite stumbles in back-to-back matches in which they earned draws by conceding late equalizers.
Martino believes Miami will be "fine" as long as they look at how they have played over the course of the summer, minus their performance against FC Cincinnati in July, and the two draws this week.

WHAT NEXT FOR INTER MIAMI?
The Herons are back in action next Saturday against Charlotte FC before a potentially season-defining match against the Columbus Crew on Oct. 2.
The Crew are the only MLS Supporters' Shield contender with two games in-hand, and as a result they can mathematically catch the Herons in the race for the regular season title if they win-out the remainder of their season.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has revealed the latest on West Ham's move for Julen Lopetegui, and has explained what is now likely to happen after a verbal agreement was reached over the weekend.
West Ham searching for new boss
Another thrashing for David Moyes' side away from home, this time against Chelsea, saw any small lingering hope of his time at the London Stadium being extended quickly extinguished, and it has become clear that the Hammers are in desperate need of new blood ahead of the next Premier League campaign.
The 70 goals conceded this season is a record for any team Moyes has managed, while performances have been poor and they seem set to miss out on European football next season.

The Hammers had been eyeing up Ruben Amorim, and had held face to face talks with the Sporting boss, for which he subsequently apologised. But, after winning the Portuguese title with Sporting on Sunday, he revealed that he wasn't going to be swapping Lisbon for London or anywhere this summer.
"I'm staying at Sporting. I'm under contract and it's a special moment for me, for the club", he explained. "Now we will try to win the third title together. Let's try to make it happen."
Lopetegui deal agreed – Romano
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has today revealed that ex-Wolves and Real Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui has "agreed terms" with the Hammers to take charge this summer.
The pair had been locked in talks, and it had seemed like a losing battle at one point, only for AC Milan to decide to abandon their pursuit of the Spaniard, leaving the London side with a free run at their man.

With the agreement now in place, they will proceed to "formal stages", which involves the "details being finalised" and only then the "contracts will be signed", provided that there is no 11th hour change of heart from either party.
Lopetegui has been out of management since he left Wolves at the beginning of the season over a financial dispute, but appears to have won over the West Ham hierarchy, who are ready to now place their faith in the Spanish coach.
He will have significant work to do at the London Stadium, though there is undoubtedly talent available to him in the likes of Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Paqueta and Edson Alvarez.
Mohammed Kudus celebrates for West Ham
The home fans will demand that their style of football changes, with Moyes coming under fire as much for the performances of his side as the results across the last 12 months. For now though, it appears that the West Ham manager search is finally reaching it's conclusion.
West Bromwich Albion haven't been the most entertaining team to watch in the Championship this season, lacking a Crysencio Summerville-style figure in their ranks like Leeds United possess to regularly wow Baggies supporters.
With the likes of Ipswich Town also scoring 90 goals plus compared to West Brom's goalscoring numbers finishing at just 70, the West Midlands outfit have been steady if a little unspectacular under the careful approach of Carlos Corberan this campaign.
Baggies supporters would love to turn back time and have this explosive star back on their books therefore to raise current excitement levels, with the player in question dazzling second-tier defences for fun when donning a West Brom strip in the early noughties.
Jason Koumas' time at West Brom
Joining in 2002 from Tranmere Rovers, attacking midfielder Jason Koumas would later go down as a cult hero in West Brom quarters for his efforts at the club.
The skilful Welshman would relocate to the West Midlands having bagged 33 goals from 200 games playing in the Wirral, keen to kick on and star for the then Premier League Baggies after leaving his former League One employers behind.
He wouldn't ever really shine at that level for West Brom – only managing to fire in six Premier League goals across his entire career – but it was in the Championship where Koumas would start to pick up stunning goal after stunning goal to add to his Baggies back catalogue.
Koumas' final campaign for West Brom would prove to be his most impactful, picking up an impressive nine goals and 15 assists from 44 games in all competitions before then moving on Wigan.
Going on to be capped 33 times by his country, the only real regret on Koumas' end – who was once described as "mercurial" by Guardian journalist Leon Barton – when his career was over must have been his ineffectiveness to continue playing at the very top in England after making the Championship his playground at points.
The Baggies certainly reaped the rewards from the bargain £2.25m deal in 2002 regardless of Koumas cursing his luck at Premier League level, pulling off the golden move at the best possible time according to Totally Money's Transfer Index.
Jason Koumas' transfer value in 2024
If the same deal between Tranmere and West Brom happened today with inflated costs taken into account, Koumas would cost £11m and no longer look like such a steal.
That would make the now-retired midfielder the most expensive asset in the current West Brom camp by some distance, with Jed Wallace coming in at an inferior £3.5m according to Football Transfers expected transfer value model as the most costly member of Corberan's troops.
West Brom arguably got everything they could out of Koumas as the perfect possible time therefore, with the ex-Cardiff man still remembered to this day for being a maverick at the Hawthorns from his four enthralling seasons at the club before leaving for Wigan.
Grady Diangana can play this role of being an explosive and unpredictable attacker on his day like Koumas in the present, but Corberan will want more of his men to step up and excite supporters, especially with the lottery of the Championship playoffs up next.
