Brilliant insight into what it's like coming in from outside football to take over a club. @sidlowe.bsky.social sat down with Mallorca's owners, as they celebrate 10 years in charge, for a 1-hour TV special and this fascinating written feature.

good morning

Sammy Lee: ‘Going to Spain was the best thing that happened to me after joining Liverpool’ The former Liverpool and Osasuna player tells Sid Lowe about his coaching journey, redemption in Spain and working with Sven-Göran Eriksson

www.theguardian.com/football/202... absolutely loved meeting Sammy Lee

Instead of connecting Extremadura with the rest of the country or improving connections between Barcelona/Bilbao, Seville/Valencia, Spain is instead putting its efforts into reducing travel time between Madrid/Barcelona.

Spain needs to boost its 2nd tier cities, not MAD BCN.

Do they make bottom burps?

A bit of Monday morning reading for you

Gracias!

Thanks Neil 👊

Cristhian Mosquera: ‘Arsenal were my team growing up. They had an aura’ The Spain Under-21 centre-back talks to Sid Lowe about his club’s ‘crazy’ defensive numbers, his dual identity and his love of multicultural London

Cristhian Mosquera is very, very cool. And yes, he actually did laugh at *that* scene from The Full Monty www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Thanks! I didn’t actually know it was up yet. 👊 I really, really liked him. A throughly nice lad.

Our editorial stance is kidnappings are bad. This is not Real Journalism because it's important to be neutral about atrocities

🇪🇸 Real Madrid have failed to score in two consecutive games, but sit top of La Liga.

🇮🇹 The title race hots up in Serie A.

🇫🇷 The handbrake is firmly off in France.

I would seem so. Just bonkers

From bus driver to top coach: all aboard for Manolo González’s Espanyol adventure The 46-year-old didn’t fulfil his potential as a player but as manager has climbed from the bottom of the pyramid to fifth in La Liga

From bus driver to top coach: all aboard for Manolo González’s Espanyol adventure, as he talks to @sidlowe.bsky.social

whole thing is even worse than the headline when you think about what 'play' means here

“I’m just as concerned for you! Don’t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!”"

Sorry, Win. 🐾

Ah man. Ffs. No, in Spanish unless you’re very deliberate about it, nothing to gender the dog (he/she verb endings the same, and no he/she used). All my fault.

🇪🇸 The usual suspects seem poised to do battle for La Liga glory once again.

🇮🇹 Five juggernauts of Italian football head up Serie A.

🇩🇪 Bayern Munich ominously sit top of the Bundesliga.
