Inter Coach Chivu in Rarefied Air Thanks to Instant Scudetto
Inter finished the job on Sunday night, easily dispatching Parma and securing the title with three games to go in a full-circle moment for Christian Chivu. The Gialloblù are the only other side he coached in his young career on the bench.
According to Sky, the manager became the first to lift the Scudetto as a Nerazzurri player, Primavera gaffer, and first-team boss. Giovanni Invernizzi succeeded in the last two instances with them in the 70’s. Instead, Arrigo Sacchi did it with two separate clubs, Cesena and Milan.

Formula E stalwart Sebastien Buemi criticised the extent of pack racing seen in the Berlin E-Prix, saying drivers were effectively running in a “convoy” for much of the race.
Last weekend’s double-header in Germany saw several drivers deliberately give up track position and drop down the order to conserve energy, bunching up the field considerably.
After Nico Muller executed this strategy to perfection to claim his maiden Formula E win on Saturday, others followed suit on Sunday.

At first glance, it looks like the Tennessee Titans landed at least three rookie starters from their 2026 draft class, as Carnell Tate, Keldric Faulk, and Anthony Hill Jr. all project to be impact players on day one.
But those three may not be the only rookies tasked with significant roles in their first season in Nashville. In fact, Chad Reuter of NFL.com believes sixth-round pick Pat Coogan is one of 16 Day 3 rookies who could start for their team in 2026.

The Washington Commanders wanted to upgrade the running back position this offseason. With Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols set to be free agents and Chris Rodriguez Jr., a restricted free agent, Washington had only Jacory Croskey-Merritt under contract from last season.
When free agency hit, the Commanders brought back McNichols on a one-year deal and also signed veterans Rachaad White and Jerome Ford. Washington did not tender a contract to Rodriguez, who quickly landed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Bournemouth have claimed the edge in the battle for sixth place in the Premier League – and what could be the strangest Champions League spot yet.
The in-form Cherries’ 3-0 win over Crystal Palace helped them overtake Brentford into that position.
Sixth will earn a Europa League place at the very least, with some of the contenders having never qualified for Europe before.
However, both elements needed for sixth place to become a Champions League spot seem quite plausible.

Chivu is first foreign coach to win Scudetto since Mourinho
Cristian Chivu has become the first foreign coach to win the Serie A title since José Mourinho in 2010, when the current Inter boss was a player under the Special One at the Stadio Meazza.
Inter secured their 21st Scudetto on Sunday, beating Parma 2-0 at San Siro.
Chivu has won the Serie A title in his first season at San Siro and his first full campaign in Italy’s top flight, having previously coached Parma for only 13 matches last term.

There is little doubt that the Tennessee Titans’ 2026 draft class has been one of the most polarizing classes from this past draft, with snap grades sitting all over the board. But now, after a week to digest it, some outlets are changing their tune.
On Friday, Matt Vanderame of Sports Illustrated broke down the 16 draft classes in the AFC and sees the Titans’ haul come in near the top of the heap.

The Titans have been busy all offseason, and that theme carried over to the draft.

The Washington Commanders will begin their three-day rookie minicamp beginning this week on Friday, May 8. In addition to its six-player 2026 NFL Draft class, the Commanders will have several other players, including undrafted free agents, unsigned players on a tryout basis, and perhaps some of Washington’s existing younger players participating in the rookie minicamp.
Washington has yet to announce its undrafted free-agent class, but we have a list of players who have agreed to terms with the team.

Slot Faces Fury Before Manchester United Test

Arne Slot finds himself in a strange and unforgiving place. Three wins from three in April should have brought calm, maybe even recognition, yet his nomination for Premier League Manager of the Month triggered disbelief among sections of the Liverpool support.

That reaction says plenty about the mood around Anfield.
