Chelsea, keep aiming for only the manager of the second division

Chelsea will negotiate with manager Encho Maresca.

“Chelsea is reportedly preparing to negotiate with Leicester City coach Encho Maresca to replace Mauricio Pochettino this summer,” British media outlet “Goal” reported on the 24th.

Maresca has been a coach since 2017. Starting his career as head coach of Ascoli Calcio, he immediately coached Sevilla, where he spent his prime, and also coached West Ham in 2018.

He then took over as Manchester City’s Under-23 manager in August 2020, leading the club to the 2020/21 season’s PL2 championship for the first time in Manchester City’s under-23 history. Maresca, who has been recognized for his skills, was appointed as Italy’s Parma Calcio manager for the 2021/22 season.
Despite receiving full support at Parma Calcio, he is ultimately dismissed due to his poor record of being in the middle and lower ranks. After that, he will sign for the first team, this time as opposed to U-23 in 2022. Once again, he was recognized for his ability to lead Manchester City and will take charge of Leicester City, where he was relegated.

There, he demonstrates his true value. He made good use of Leicester City’s overwhelming squad and quickly took first place from the beginning of the league, winning the EFL Championship’s Manager of the Month award in August. In the middle and second half of the league, he lost to first place with a slight twist, but in the second half, he rebounded and secured promotion to the Premier League as the first place.

Chelsea is aiming for such a Maresca. According to the Guardian, Chelsea will ask Leicester City for permission to start negotiations with Maresca as soon as possible to recruit a new manager. Chelsea parted ways with Pochettino earlier this week despite finishing the season sixth and having a chance to advance to the European matches next season.

Maresca is currently being considered as a candidate for Chelsea manager along with Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna. According to media, McKenna is considered a strong candidate for Chelsea’s managerial role thanks to his huge role in Ipswich’s promotion to the Premier League after 22 years.

With Leicester City facing potential points cuts next season, Maresca are tempted to keep leaving the club. With the low buyout clause of £8.5 million (W14.7 billion), Chelsea are keen to move quickly to an agreement.

Chelsea are planning to quickly appoint a new, progressive young manager who can grow with their current young players and develop a style of play throughout the years. Chelsea want to appoint a manager in the coming days, and after seeing the situation with McKenna and Maresca, it is very likely that they will recruit a manager whose negotiations are going faster. 안전놀이터

Application to host the World Men’s Championship

Youth and Sports Minister Ario Bimo Nandito 34 met with an official from the Indonesian Volleyball Association on May 21 to discuss the possibility of hosting the 23rd Under-21 World Men’s Championship in 2025.

Indonesia is the host country of the 22nd Asian Men’s Championship under 20 years old, which will be held from June 23-30, 2024. Minister Ario Vimo Nandito vowed, “We will make every effort to ensure that the national team participates in the U-21 World Championship and that sustainable volleyball development can be achieved.”

The host country automatically advances to the finals. For the Indonesian men’s team, ranked 52nd in the world, it is a valuable experience if it can participate in the U-20 Asian Championship and U-21 World Championship in succession.

Minister Ario Vimo Nandito is the grandson of Indonesia’s air force chief and the son of the president of Indonesia’s largest nickel producer. He is a golden spoon to become the head of the youth sports ministry at the age of 33 last year.

In an interview reported by Indonesian news agency “Antara” in April this year, Minister Ario Vimo Nandito said, “It is because of his persistent efforts to become a celebrity to the point where Megawati anti-Estri Pertiwi 25 is on the lips of people who are not interested in sports.”

Megawati Anti-Stri Pertiwi played second place in serve per set, fourth place in attack success rate, and seventh place in the women’s team of the 2023-24 Korean V-League, which helped his team Daejeon Jeonggwanjang Red Sparks finish third, the best performance in seven seasons.

Minister Ario Vimo Nandito said, “I’m happy that Megawati Anti-Stri Pertiwi not only entered the V-League but also succeeded. We will focus on constructive cooperation with Daejeon Jeonggwanjang Red Sparks and even the Korea Volleyball Federation so that it doesn’t end up with just one player doing well.”

Daejeon Jeonggwanjang Red Sparks laid the groundwork for the success of Indonesian women’s volleyball by participating in a friendly match held at the Senayan Arena in Jakarta 16,500 capacity as the opening event of the 2024 professional league.

Minister Ario Vimo Nandito thanked, saying, “Megawati anti-Estri Pertiwi gave hints on how he can unleash and develop the potential of Indonesian players through his 2023-24 V-League performance.”

“It is important to have equal opportunities through balanced investment in the potential for the development of men’s volleyball as well as women’s volleyball. I want to lay the foundation for both men’s and women’s volleyball to become one of the top 16 players in the world.” – Ario Vimo Nandito, Minister of Youth and Sports –

Indonesia is a world-class country with the fourth-largest population and the seventh-largest gross domestic product in terms of purchasing power evaluation. It is worth noting that the government treats volleyball seriously and seeks to improve the environment and quality.  안전놀이터 추천

Minnesota Gobert Named NBA Defensive Player of the Year for 4th time in his career

NBA Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert won Defensive Player of the Year for the 2023-2024 season.

The NBA Secretariat announced on the 8th that “Gobert was selected as the defensive player of the year,” adding, “It is the fourth win in his career, and this is the record for the most wins ever.”

The Frenchman Gobert appeared in 76 games in the 2023-2024 regular season, scoring 14 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks.
Minnesota, where Gobert took the center stage under the basket, recorded the lowest number of goals among 30 clubs with an average of 106.5 points in the regular league.

It is the third time in his career that Gobert has won the defensive player award four times in the 1982-1983 season, after Dicembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace.

Gobert also won the award in the 2017-2018, 2018-2019 and 2020-2021 seasons when he played for the Utah Jazz.

Gobert, a four-time winner of the award in the last seven years, became the first Minnesota defensive player of the year. 메이저사이트

Gobert, who became a father the day before, received the Defensive Award of the Year, and the slope overlapped.

Gobert missed the second playoff game against the Denver Nuggets in Denver, Colorado on the 7th to watch his wife give birth, but his team Minnesota won 106-80 without Gobert, making the series 2-0 overall.

Endeavour Group Signs $13 Billion Non-Disclosure Agreement To Acquire Silver Lake

Endeavour Group has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Silver Lake. Silver Lake, a technology investment company, will acquire 100% of its outstanding shares that it does not already hold.

Shareholders will receive $27.50 per share with a 55% premium at a price of $17.72 from October 25, 2023, the day before Endeavor announces its strategic review.

Silver Lake said it could grow to $25 billion when considering the total consolidated enterprise value, but that values the acquisition at $13 billion.

If so, Silver Lake claims this would be “the largest investment transaction between private equity sponsor companies in more than a decade and the largest ever in media and entertainment.”

Of course, the deal comes two months after Endeavor announced it was merging two of its own brands, OpenBet and IMG Arena.

Silver Lake currently has more than $102 billion in assets across North America, Europe and Asia, with its portfolio generating more than $250 billion in annual revenue.

Endeavor CEO Ariel Emanuel said, “Since 2012, Endeavor’s strategic partnership with Silver Lake and Egon Durban has been central to our evolution to today’s global sports and entertainment leaders.

“We believe the transaction will maximize the value of all of Endeavour’s public shareholders, and we are excited to continue to open up and invest in future growth opportunities as a private company.”

The $25 billion valuation takes into account the value of Endeavour media giant TKO, which was created through a merger between UFC and WWE.

TKO is considered separate from Silver Lake’s acquisition and will still work with Endeavour but will remain a publicly traded company.

“The Silver Lake team is proud of our long-standing partnership with Endeavor, which has generated more than $3.5 billion in direct investment across six different transactions over 12 years,” said Steven Evans, managing director and director of Endeavor

Endeavour’s independent director special committee unanimously recommended the acquisition at its latest meeting.

Egan Durban, co-CEO of Silver Lake, managing partner, and chairman of Endeavor’s board, said: “Our unwavering faith in Ari and Patrick, along with Mark and Endeavor’s other talented leaders, has never been stronger.

“We generated $350 million in annual revenue when we first invested in 2012, generating nearly $6 billion in consolidated revenue today.  무료 슬롯

“In line with our mission and underscoring that it is one of the biggest commitments in Silver Lake history, we are working with our Endeavour team and trusted anchor investors to accelerate large-scale growth to create value.”

Sands China to hold poker tournament in Macau for the first time in six years

The huge loss for Macau’s casino industry during the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be due to travel restrictions that have made it impossible for foreign tourists and mainland China and Hong Kong to visit the city. With revenue growing again and tournament poker back, there’s a lot for players to look forward to.

New tournaments in six years:

Sands China will host the tournament, and potential players will be able to compete in Venice Macao.

This is the first time in six years that Macau is hosting a poker tournament. One event called Macau Masters will last for four days. The purchase costs HK$3,000 ($384). The purchase includes three flights on Day 1, with unlimited repurchases that can be refunded for the entire registration period.

After the flight, the top 30 chip stacks will have the opportunity to compete during the final day, which will be held on Thursday, March 14, as officials announced.

Currently, Sands China is offering cash game poker in Macau. The company is one of three total locations that offer this service in Macau, along with Wynn Macao and MGM China. However, despite its popularity, the poker tournament was almost forgotten because the last tournament of this gaming paradise was held in 2018.

At the time, the PokerStars Live room was held at the City of Dreams. The venue also held a large-scale event called the 2018 Macao Millions in the same year, with 2,499 players participating in the main event at the time.

As reported by Inside Asian Gaming, Andy Kobel, senior vice president of casino operations at Sands China, thinks positively that the tournament will help improve the gambling experience for his loyal customers and grow this major Asian market at the same time. He said the local market has “reacted well to the offering of poker.”

WPT in Macau:

Sands China is running the main event alone, and Kobel hopes it will be a harbinger of other events to be held in Sands China in the future. When asked about this, he replied, “We’re always looking for new opportunities, and competitions of different sizes and frequencies are definitely some of those opportunities.”

What does it mean for the city’s poker industry? According to industry news, a lot will happen in Macau. The World Poker Tour (WPT), one of the biggest poker tournaments in the world, recently announced that it would like to host a tournament in Macau, and CEO Adam Pliska confirmed this claim.

Last December, he said, “Macao has some structural issues that make it particularly difficult for dealers, but we are committed. We will arrive in Macau. We will cooperate with the government and with anyone else so that we can have a good event.” However, Kovel did not want to comment on any allegations of negotiations between Sands China and the WPT.  카지노사이트 순위

Macau gaming industry expects earnings of $2.36 billion in March 2024

Some hotel owners believe in superstitions and are ready to take actions that many would find laughable when they start a business. Such actions sometimes include excluding certain room numbers to make customers wander through the halls in search of room 13 without knowing that they have included room number 12A to avoid bad luck and a shortage of customers in the early days of business.

$307 million selling price:

Such an owner would, therefore, consider it natural for Macau Hotel THE 13 to demand the best bid to sell the property, which has gone bankrupt and is in question at a suggested price of $307 million. The bid will reportedly be overseen by property firm Jones Lang LaSalle and will be available by April 5, 2024, by more than 20 parties who have expressed interest in the property.

The source reported that when hotel owners declared bankruptcy last year, many of the 196 rooms were not completed, so the bidding price would definitely be part of the investment needed for resort accommodation. As reported, THE 13″s insolvency was a direct liquidation result of its sole beneficial owner, New Concordia Hotels Limited. Concordia, under pressure from creditors, was forced by its parent South Shore Holdings to make a voluntary liquidation request in a Macau court, according to the IAG.

Delayed Resort Launch:

The flow of such events reportedly came from the development of a resort that made the launch of THE 13 ill-timed. According to a report by IAG, Stephen Hung, the president of THE 13, envisioned a luxury resort in the early 2010s that would include 66 VIP gaming tables, which were then expected to provide top-notch services for Macau’s booming VIP sector. However, times were changing, as the property was reportedly facing investment and construction delays, and would only open in 2018. According to reports, the hotel spent $1.6 billion witnessing rapid developments in the competitor-handled VIP gaming tables and public gaming sectors.

Failing such a high price, it was reported that the owner, Souther, was forced to suspend all operations and declare bankruptcy in October 2021. The creditor, who made a statutory payment request for the $423 million outstanding debt amid the threat of a court petition, stamped his stamp on the fate of Concorde and THE13. According to sources, Chairman Peter Corker Jr. resigned from his position at the company in October 2022 to close the story of the failure.

Waiting for the highest bid:

From the beginning of the article, the imaginary hotel owner criticized the resort’s name and stuck to a room number pattern. But the U.S. Department of Justice seems to have been less superstitious. Sources said they accused the resigned chairman, Peter Corker Jr., of manipulating stock prices and arrested him in Thailand in January 2023. Thirteen are currently waiting for the best bid to start all over, with good luck.  바카라사이트

Miami wins 23 3-pointers over Boston at No. 1 in Eastern Conference…1 win and 1 loss

The Oklahoma City Thunder of the National Basketball Association NBA have won two consecutive Western Conference playoffs, gaining an advantage to advance to the second round.

Oklahoma City defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 124-92 in the second round of the 2023-2024 NBA Western Conference quarterfinals four wins out of seven held at Paycom Center in Oklahoma on the 25th.
Shai Gilzer Alexander scored 33 points and Chet Holmgren scored 26 points to lead the team to a complete victory.

Oklahoma City, which has won two consecutive games, will play Game 3 at the Smoothie King Center, New Orleans’ home stadium, on the 28th.

Oklahoma City, the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, made 29 3-pointers and made 14 shots, recording a 59% hit rate.

New Orleans’ star Zion Williamson was unable to use his strength in attack as he remained on the bench in Game 2 following Game 1 due to a muscle hamstring injury in the back of his left thigh.

Oklahoma City, which led 63-50 in the first half alone with 20 points from Homegren and 16 points from Gilles Alexander, widened the gap to 92-74 in the third quarter.

Oklahoma City showed room to bring its main players to the bench in the fourth quarter as the gap widened.

The Miami Heat held the Boston Celtics, the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, with a high-sensitivity 3-pointer, to balance the game.

Miami defeated Boston 111-101 in the second leg of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals at TD Garden to make the series 1–1.

In Miami, not only Tyler Hiro scored 24 points, but five players, including Bam Adebayo 21 points and Caleb Martin 21 points, played even with double-digit scores.

In addition, he made 23 3-pointers, setting the most playoff record since the team was founded.

Boston scored 33 points for Jaylen Brown and 28 for Jason Tatum, but failed to overcome Miami, which showed various scoring routes.

Miami, which entered the final quarter with an 85-79 lead until the third quarter, was chased 94-84 with about six minutes left on Boston’s Derek White’s 3-pointer and a 3-point play.

However, Miami took a breather after Haywood Highsmith’s 3-pointer followed by Jaime Haquez Jr.’s 3-pointer in a row to make it 100-91.

Boston trailed 101-109 with Tatum’s layup 35 seconds before the end, but there was not enough time to turn the win or loss around.

Game 3 will be held at Miami’s home stadium, Kaseya Center, on the 28th.  메이저 토토사이트

The KT-KCC Champion, which was completed with Brother’s Rebellion

Brothers Huh Woong 31, KCC and Huh Hoon 29, KT, who will face off in the championship match, had a fiery war of nerves.

Suwon KT coach Song Young-jin, Moon Sung-gon, Heo Hoon, KCC coach Jeon Chang-jin, Song Kyo-chang, and Heo Woong, who will play in the KBL championship match, played on the media day of the 2023-2024 professional basketball championship match held at the KBL Center in Seoul on the 25th.
The two brothers named Heo Woong and Heo Hoon were the heroes of this media day. Holding the microphone, the brothers said, “My father is the happiest. He became the hero of the first competition among the brothers in the championship game. It is an honor for the family.”

There was a fiery war of nerves between the two brothers. The older brother Heo Woong said, “I will do my best to stay alert even though the battle is drawing a lot of attention.” He said, “I want to win home Busan. I want to win all four games, or I want to finish it in the sixth game,” and added, “I want to win the championship at home.”

He also talked about his younger brother. “Even before I contacted him after the KT-LG game, the Kakaotalk chatroom went wild. He sent me about 100 messages,” Huh said with a smile.

Huh said, “We had a hard time coming up to the stage. I hope we can do our best to achieve our goals. More than anything else, I hope we don’t get hurt.”

Hur also showed strong commitment. “This is the first championship match in my life. I had a hard time winning the playoffs. I really want to win the championship. I don’t want to lose to KCC even once. I will wrap up the fourth game of the series. Whether it is away in Busan or at home, I want to win the championship as soon as possible,” Hur said in expressing his ambition.

At the same time, he added, “I hope my brother will show a lot of good performances and finish it without injury.”

KCC manager Jeon Chang-jin said, “I am upset that good Woong always gives up to bad Hoon. I hope he forgets that he is my younger brother in this championship match,” adding, “Let’s win this time without making any concessions.”
KT manager Song Young-jin expressed his faith, saying, “Hoon is always confident. I hope he saves Moon Sung-gon as well.”   안전 토토사이트

If KCC wins the championship title in this season’s championship, it will be its sixth championship in 13 years. If KT wins, it will become the first team to win the title in the team’s history. The record against the regular league in this season is tight, with three wins and three losses.

Grealish left Aston Villa in 2021 and joined Manchester City

Atletico Madrid have offered a helping hand.

“Atletico Madrid is interested in recruiting Jack Grealish 28, Manchester City ahead of this summer’s transfer market.”

Grealish left Aston Villa and joined Manchester City in 2021. Manchester City also spent £100 million W170 billion, the highest transfer fee in the club’s history, to recruit him.

Manchester City’s adaptation has not been smooth. Grealish had a hard time adjusting to Manchester City in the last 21/22 season. He played in 39 games throughout all the competitions, but only scored six goals and four assists.

The previous season was different. He seemed to be completely absorbed in Manchester City’s soccer. He scored five goals and 11 assists in all 50 games, contributing greatly to his treble achievement.

The upward trend did not continue until this season. Grealish had difficulty in competing for the starting lineup this season as he suffered minor injuries. He started only nine games in the league.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is said to be ready to listen to other teams’ proposals for Grealish this summer.
There are even teams that want to recruit players. According to the latest report, Atletico manager Diego Simeone is a big fan of Grealish and wants to recruit him this summer.

Recruitment of a new striker is considered one of Atletico’s goals this summer. The prevailing view is that they need new resources to play with Álvaro Morata 31 and Antoine Griezmann 33.

In order to recruit Grealish, a large transfer fee is inevitable. Manchester City wants to recover some of the funds invested in his recruitment through the sale of Grealish, who is under contract until 2027.  토토사이트

Atletico have even prepared a solution. “Atletico are considering bringing Grealish on loan this summer and then fully signing him in the summer of 2025,” Team Talk said.
