Newcastle Jets have confirmed the departure of coach Scott Miller, citing differences related to football matters .
The 34-year-old had only been in charge of the Jets for a season, guiding the 2008 Australian champions to an eighth-place finish in the 10-team league, following eight wins from 27 matches.
We acknowledge that the timing of this decision is far from ideal given the close proximity of next Hyundai A-League season, Jets chief executive Lawrie McKinna said in a statement.
But once the decision was made to move in a different direction regarding the head coach role we deemed it to be in everyone s best interests to act quickly.
The Jets open their A-League season against defending champions Adelaide United on October 9.

Manchester United are interested in signing Harry Kane from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023, according to . The report has claimed that United are the latest club who have reached out to representatives of the England international striker over a possible move next summer.

Manchester United are arguably the biggest club in England, but they are nowhere close to winning the Premier League title or challenging for the UEFA Champions League. Tottenham are going places under head coach Antonio Conte, and it is unl…

City have enjoyed a remarkable run of wins in recent months and are closing in on a record, but they could not have picked a much trickier next destination as they go to Anfield on Sunday.

Bournemouth are interested in signing Ben Brereton Diaz from Blackburn Rovers in the January transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that the Cherries have been scouting the Chile international striker this season, and that the Premier League club could make a move for him when the transfer window opens in January, having been his long-term admirers.
Brereton Diaz is out of contract at Blackburn at the end of the season. The striker has reportedly told Rovers that he is not going to put pen to paper on a new deal, so the Championship club are now facing the prospect of losing the 23-year-old on a free next summer. Rovers could now be willing to sell Brereton Diaz for £10 million in the January transfer window.
The striker has scored nine goals and provid…
Two-goal Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial starred as Manchester United crushed Chelsea 4-0 in Frank Lampard s first Premier League match as the Blues head coach.
Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had suggested in pre-season Rashford and Martial were set to share striker responsibilities this term and they were the inspiration as United clinched an emphatic opening-day win, albeit one that somewhat flattered them.
Chelsea certainly edged a first half that was arguably more entertaining for its seemingly constant stream of errors than anything else, but United led 1-0 at the break thanks to Rashford s penalty, despite Tammy Abraham and Emerson Palmieri hitting the post for the visitors.
Quality initially remained at a premium in the second half, but two…
Ernesto Valverde admits he is to blame for Barcelona s poor form after Saturday s 2-0 loss at Granada confirmed their worst LaLiga start in 25 years.
Barca went down to goals from Ramon Azeez and Alvaro Vadillo as the promoted side moved top of the table, with Valverde s men seventh after five games.
Seven points is the fewest they have collected at this stage of the season since a difficult 1994-95 campaign under legendary coach Johan Cruyff.
Valverde s team have failed to win any of their past seven away games in all competitions, a run that dates back to last season, with pressure growing on the coach.
Although Valverde has led Barca to the title in each of his two full seasons in charge, they lost last term s Copa del Rey final to Valencia after cras…
Joe Hart is undoubtedly England s number one and it would be too much of a risk to put anyone else in goal for the World Cup, according to former Three Lions international David Seaman.
Hart has played 75 times for England but was criticised for his performances at Euro 2016, including a high-profile error in the embarrassing last-16 defeat to Iceland.
The 30-year-old also found himself frozen out at Manchester City and has failed to convince in loan spells at Torino last season and West Ham this term that he can rediscover the type of form that made him one of the best goalkeepers in world football.
Stoke City s Jack Butland and Everton shot-stopper Jordan Pickford are considered better long-term options for England.
But ex-Arsenal keeper Seaman, who…
According to a recent report from Sky sources, Ashley Young is expected to sign a new one year contract extension with Manchester United. There have been talks back and forth between the two parties over the course of the last few weeks and potentially even months, and now, it’s understood that the discussions are progressing very well. The 33 year old Premier League veteran has been at Old Trafford since back in 2011, when he made his £17 million switch over from Aston Villa. In the last 12 years he has fluctuated back and forth between being seen as ‘not good enough’ and ‘overrated’ in the eyes of the masses, and now, the majority of fans seem to be somewhere in the middle.
Young has featured in every single game under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer so far during the Norwegi…

The 24-year-old Honduras striker has spent last two seasons playing for Segunda side Tenerife on loan from Olimpia. He bagged 10 goals apiece for the Spanish club and appears to have drawn the interest of one of the biggest clubs in the world.
