Jose Mourinho has extraordinarily claimed that a game-changing tactical move could soon be tried in football. The former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham boss is currently away from the touchline after being sacked by Roma in January, but has not stopped thinking about innovative ways to take the game forward. And he has now proposed a radical change to how teams could set up in the future.

As the ex-England star's first goal of his career, he comes out of retirement aged 53 and delivers a spectacular free-kick winner

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 19, 2024
The 53-time England international played for AFC Hutwood, far from the glamour of top football. He was never strong enough to score a goal, but he did have his moment in the City of Southampton's glamorous suburbs on Sunday, FL Division One. Hutwood's silverware would be useful, but they'll have their hands cut out. They currently sit third in the table and are level on points with the top two, but Butlock Heath, two points behind them, has six games in hand and a significant goal difference by 45 points.

Andreas Brehme's death at the age of 63 has sadly saddened the football world. West Germany defeated Argentina 2-1 to win the World Cup in 1990, with Brehme scoring the decisive late penalty. His death on Monday night – from a cardiac arrest – came just a few weeks after Franz Beckenbauer, the team's coach, died at the age of 78. In the semi-finals, West Germany defeated England on penalties, with Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle both missing their spot-kicks. But what became of the Italia '90 World Cup winners?

IAN HERBERT: Most players will not know that they have been given a coveted and indelible position in what will be a crucial volume of football social history this week amid the countless glories of a Premier League career, the opulent wealth, the sculpted brands, and the PR gloss. In the 2024 Panini sticker book, which was released on Wednesday, it might not seem much now - a 10cm by 5cm head shot. But, in years to come, the fortunate few will see it as something that captures them at an extraordinary moment in their lives - young, vibrant, fresh-faced, believing.

After England's lackluster results against Malta and North Macedonia, Stuart Pearce warns that 'alarm bells' should be ringing for Gareth Southgate ahead of Euro 2024

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 21, 2023
After England's insipid draw against North Macedonia on Monday night, Stuart Pearce has warned that 'alarm bells' should be ringing for the team. The Three Lions ended their Euro 2024 qualifier unbeaten and atop Group C, but they were lacking enthusiasm in Skopje and only managed two shots on goal against a side that is currently ranked in the FIFA rankings at 62nd position. Enis Bardhi put the hosts up in the first half after being tucked away his penalty kick by Jordan Pickford, before Gareth Southgate's men drew level via a Jani Atanasov's own goal on the hour.

Ex-Man City boss Stuart Pearce names a VERY surprising team to beat his old club to the Premier League title, with the bookies only making them sixth-favourites to win it!

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 18, 2023
Stuart Peace has made a surprising prediction as to which team will be able to halt Manchester City's season of Premier League dominance this season. Despite spending much of the campaign looking forward to a resurgent Arsenal, Pep Guardiola's side began an unstoppable run toward the end of the campaign. City retook their position in the league table after suffering only two losses from February to the end of the season, while simultaneously winning the Champions League for the first time in history.

STUART BROAD: Playing my last game in an Ashes Test means I can retire at the very top of the game

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 29, 2023
STUART BROAD: I'd been to Ben Stokes' hotel room at half past eight on Friday evening to inform him that I was withdrawing from cricket that I was entirely satisfied with my decision. I was more than a little unsure until then. Such a course of action is not one to take seriously, and those close to me have been reminding me that there is no turning back once you opt out. I have been considering it for a few weeks, but it was only right after I shook hands with Ben and said, 'that's me,'" it seemed.

DIDI HAMANN: Inter Milan will need a 'miracle' to snatch the Champions League from Man City

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 3, 2023
As we at Liverpool in 2005, my former club Manchester City do not need another 'Miracle of Istanbul' to bring home the Champions League. City deservingly deserve the award because this season has unquestionably been Europe's best team. Inter Milan is practically unbeatable over two legs, and although it is not likely for them to win a one-off match, I'd be surprised. Having Erling Haaland as a coach gives the City players tremendous confidence because he can score out of nowhere, and Ruben Dias at the back has been as important as Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk.

Stuart Pearce, the former City manager, debating a Vinicius Jnr 'equivalent to a GOAL.'

Stuart Pearce, the former Manchester City manager, sung the praises of Kyle Walker after his stellar defensive effort during Pep Guardiola's victory over 14-time European Cup champions Real Madrid on Wednesday evening. Walker was expected to keep Vinicius Jnr under wraps, and the first-leg clash at the Etihad brought the tense fight between the first two legs. On a triumphant night in Manchester, the Brazillian cut a muted figure under Walker's thumb, but was unable to participate in the game as Bernando Silva bagged a brace and Julian Alvarez came off the bench to score the winner.

John Stones of Manchester City is relishing his new hybrid midfield role

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 12, 2023
JACK GAUGHAN: It's not difficult to imagine the likes of Jamal Musiala, Joshua Kimmich, and Leon Goretzka – Bayern's engine room – discussing how a center half in midfield could have had such an effect on this Champions League quarter-final. City names certain aspects of the Etihad Campus after notable players in recent history, and if John Stones' name makes it to a plaque somewhere, it is not likely that he will play a decade at this club and win his first European trophy. 'I love it,' my best memories are here,' he said recently.' 'I really do feel like it's my house,' says the lady.' Stuart Pearce rated Stones' Bayern masterclass as his best show of his career on talkSPORT. And I'm sure you've enjoyed England manager Gareth Southgate's food for thought.

SPORTS AGENDA: As the World Cup in Qatar, major names from BBC and ESPN are lining up for business class flights

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 20, 2022
SPORTS AGENDA: The BBC have widened their cost-cutting to the World Cup. Pundits and employees heading to Qatar have earned economy seats, but they have been warned that if they want to sit in business class, they will have to pay the price for an upgrade themselves. On a flight from Manchester on Friday, a number of the major names did just that, turning left as the broadcaster's hoi polloi veered right. The BBC and ITV are distributing a studio in Qatar in another related cost-saving story. With US broadcasters Fox taking over a massive complex on Doha's west bay that houses three separate studios, it would appear there are no such issues across the pond.

Many celebrities have been able to announce themselves as a global superstar and make a career-defining move on the back of a starring role on football's grandest stage. Over the years, there have been some inspired signings made immediately after the tournament has ended, but many big names like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Liverpool have fallen into the trap of landing players following a string of spectacular performances for their countries. Scouts will be keeping an eye on players who play at the World Cup in Qatar next month, particularly with the January transfer window opening not long after the final on December 18. Sportsmail looks at ten of the worst post-World Cup signings.

Stuart Pearce, the former England captain, has named his starting eleven for the forthcoming Three Lions' World Cup, but it does not include Man City actor Phil Foden. The 22-year-old has been one of the top players in the Premier League this season, scoring six goals and three assists from his first 11 games. Pearce believes that there are several other options that are 'better' than the Man City actress, despite his impressive resume so far.

According to Stuart Pearce, the North London derby is the right option for America

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 30, 2022
Since predicting that the North London derby would be the right match for a game overseas, Stuart Pearce (inset) has urged the Premier League to host high-profile games elsewhere. The Premier League has long been considered a valuable asset that can be moved to various countries, with America serving as a potential destination in a similar fashion to the NFL's games to London. Pearce, on the other hand, would not bring an additional match to the current season and instead face one of the two teams in one of the two games in a season played overseas.

Newcastle manager Stuart Pearce isn't positive that Alexander Isak is worth the £60 million price Newcastle is spending on the striker

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 26, 2022
Since joining Real Sociedad from Borussia Dortmund in 2019, the 22-year-old has scored 44 goals in 132 games, marking a high-profile signing for the Magpies. Newcastle have swooped for Isak after the striker limped out of the club's 3-3 draw with Manchester City on Sunday. Dan Ashworth, Newcastle's sporting director, flew to Spain earlier this week to finalize terms with the striker, who has been on Newcastle's wish list for some time, but there were fears that the move would be too costly to be carried off.
