Blatter: We’ve made historic decisions

Shortly after the FIFA Congress in Mauritius, FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter spoke to FIFA.com about the reform process within football’s world governing body, the fight against racism and discrimination, and the first woman to be appointed to the FIFA Executive Committee. “The results of the Congress are very promising for the future of FIFA,” said Blatter, clearly delighted by the progress made on the island state in the southwest Indian Ocean. “We’ve made some historic decisions. I’d also like to mention our determination to fight racism and discrimination, as well as Lydia Nsekera becoming the first ever woman to be elected to the FIFA Executive Committee.” The FIFA President also responded to criticisms of FIFA with regard to age limits and terms of office.

Cruyff: Mourinho will not achieve anything in future

The legendary Dutchman has taken yet another swipe at the outgoing Real Madrid coach, and he's not impressed with Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari either. Barcelona icon Johan Cruyff has hit out at Jose Mourinho and believes the Portuguese coach's glory days are behind him following his disappointing spell with Real Madrid. Mourinho is expected to be confirmed as new Chelsea manager by the end of the week, but Cruyff thinks the current Madrid coach will not achieve much in the remainder of his career. "Mourinho started pointing fingers at everybody around him when things went wrong and he's now even putting people up against each other within the club," the Dutchman writes in his weekly column for De Telegraaf. "He's fighting out personal vendettas at the expense of club icons. Things don't work like that in football, because it destroys the team's morale. "It's one of the main reasons why his spell at Madrid was unsuccessful and I don't think Mourinho will achieve anything in the future either." Cruyff then had his say on Luiz Felipe Scolari and slammed the Brazil coach for his decision to insist Bayern Munich released Dante and Luiz Gustavo ahead of the DFB-Pokal final for the international friendly against England. "I don't care much for selfish behavior and that's why coaches like Scolari and Mourinho annoy me. Just look at Scolari. The first game of the Confederations Cup - a friendly tournament - is on June 16, yet he forbade Dante and Luiz Gustavo to play the German cup final. "It was the last game of Bayern's best-ever season and the post-match celebrations in Munich were the icing on the cake. That shows you don't really understand things." Brazil was held to a 2-2 draw by England on Sunday evening.

Müller helps Wolfsburg end Lyon reign

VfL Wolfsburg won the UEFA Women's Champions League at the first attempt after Martina Müller's penalty ended the two-year reign of Olympique Lyonnais at Stamford Bridge in London tonight. Lyon had the better of the final but could find no way through and with 17 minutes left, after Laura Georges handled, Müller ensured Wolfsburg would be the first team to defeat the French champions over 90 minutes for 120 games – a run predating coach Patrice Lair's summer 2010 appointment. Wolfsburg, like fellow Germans 1. FFC Frankfurt, 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam and FCR 2001 Duisburg, have won on their debut. With midfielder Viola Odebrecht suspended, forward Selina Wagner injured and defender Verena Faisst ill, Wolfsburg coach Ralf Kellermann had moved Alexandra Popp back to left-back but they started brightly and Nadine Kessler hooked narrowly wide after good movement from Conny Pohlers. Lyon took time to settle, but when they did Camille Abily's effort was deflected just off target by Josephine Henning, and Amandine Henry nodded Megan Rapinoe's corner past the post. Wolfsburg, fielding former winners Henning, Kessler, Pohlers and Popp in their starting lineup, were still pushing hard yet being gradually forced back by Lyon's expansive movement. Popp did come forward to half-volley a deep corner over, though at the other end Ivonne Hartmann had to make a telling interception after Rapinoe headed down a Laura Georges cross. Henry threatened from distance and Abily sliced an incisive pass from Lotta Schelin, whose own curling shot was saved by a diving Alisa Vetterlein. Müller did hook an opportunist effort past the upright as Wolfsburg ended the first half in good shape, Kessler outshining the player of the match in the last two finals, Abily, in midfield. Lyon coach Lair made a half-time change, with Rapinoe replaced by Lara Dickenmann, like Sarah Bouhaddi, Wendie Renard, Henry and Louisa Necib in her fourth straight final. Élodie Thomis quickly burst through but Schelin slipped as she attempted to receive a pass and Abily then had a fierce attempt bravely stopped by Vetterlein as Lyon took control. The goalkeeper also denied Thomis after she turned in the box as the rain began to lash down at Stamford Bridge. To add further zest to his attack, Lair brought on Eugénie Le Sommer for Abily, but Wolfsburg were starting to contain the holders' play. Then out of the blue, a goal. Georges handled in the area and Müller, a Wolfsburg stalwart since their second division season of 2005/06, powered in the penalty. Now Lyon were in an unfamiliar position and they piled forward, yet the best chance of the later stages was a strike from Wolfsburg substitute Lina Magull that Bouhaddi touched wide. Soon the celebrations could commence, with Lena Goessling adjudged player of the match. For the competition's 42-goal all-time top scorer Pohlers there was another mark: a European title with her third different club after Potsdam (2005) and Frankfurt (2008). Meanwhile Wolfsburg, who had never won a major trophy a fortnight ago, now have a treble after claiming the German league and cup.

Mourinho: I've understood that losing is just part of life

José Mourinho gave an interview to 'Jornal de Notícias' during which he analysed the current state of football. "Core values have been lost; education and professionalism are getting worse." The Portuguese coach is proud to fight back against lies. "It is worth fighting hypocrisy on principle in life, because it makes you feel good about yourself." He admitted that he's started finding it easier to lose. "Twenty trophies in many countries is a lot, but I realised that at one point I found myself wanting to win more often and I understood that losing is part of my professional life, so losing is much less of a drama now. It was always an opportunity to improve, all the more so now". The manager also discussed his team-building philosophy. "I think that success depends on a group's objectives. It's getting harder and harder to get a group to work as a team. Core values have been lost; players' education and training is getting worse and becoming more influenced by the increasing lack of moral principles." He also sought to call a truce with the Spanish press. "Since my professional debut I've always been one to close and open different chapters without commenting on any of their negative aspects. I'm going to try to do that again and not speak about the Spanish press." Mou is very sure where he wants to live once he retires from the game. "Setúbal, my home, my memories. It all started in Setúbal. I'm 50 years old. I just want to be happy. Nothing else."

Albania draw with Norway

Fans in Reykjavik went through a rollercoaster of emotions, first celebrating as their heroes went 2-1 up over Slovenia in the 26th minute, aware that success would see them top the table ahead of Switzerland, and then despairing as their countrymen conspired to throw the match away. Five minutes later, a Valter Birsa penalty revitalised the Slovenians, who went on to twice hit Iceland on the counter-attack in the second half, Bostjan Cesar and Rene Krhin doing the damage. A similar scenario played out in the section’s other encounter in Tirana, where Albania led Norway with three minutes to go, only to concede a late equaliser to Tom Hogli. Both these results constitute good news for the Swiss, who play on Saturday.

Moyes to succeed Sir Alex as United manager

Everton FC manager David Moyes has been confirmed as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor at Manchester United FC. The 50-year-old will officially join the Old Trafford club on 1 July after the expiry of his Everton contract. Moyes, a Glasgow native like Sir Alex, has agreed a six-year deal to take charge of the 20-time English champions. "It's a great honour to be asked to be the next manager of Manchester United," Moyes said. "I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done and for the football club. "I know how hard it will be to follow the best manager ever, but the opportunity to manage Manchester United isn't something that comes around very often and I'm really looking forward to taking up the post next season." Sir Alex added: "When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes we unanimously agreed on David Moyes. David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. "I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of assistant manager here. He was a young man then at the start of his career and has since gone on to do a magnificent job at Everton. There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this club." Moyes replaced Walter Smith on Merseyside in March 2002 and in January this year oversaw his 500th match at the Everton helm. Though the former Preston North End FC boss did not win silverware in his 11 years at Goodison Park, he guided the Blues to seventh or higher in eight of his 11 full campaigns. An Everton statement said he had been "an outstanding manager". In heading to United, Moyes will once again link up with Wayne Rooney, to whom he gave a first-team debut in August 2002 when the then Everton prodigy was two months shy of his 17th birthday. "I have had a terrific job at Everton, with a tremendous chairman and board of directors and a great set of players," Moyes said. "Between now and the end of the season, I will do everything in my power to make sure we finish as high as possible in the table. "Everton's fantastic fans have played a big part in making my years at Goodison so enjoyable and I thank them wholeheartedly for the support they have given me and the players. Everton will be close to me for the rest of my life." Sir Alex announced on Wednesday that he will retire after United's final game of the season on 19 May, bringing to an end a 26-and-a-half-year tenure that yielded two UEFA Champions League triumphs, a European Cup Winners' Cup, a UEFA Super Cup, 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and four League Cups.
