Jürgen Klopp will try ‘absolutely everything’ at Aston Villa to avoid the yellow card that would put him in the stands for his final Liverpool home game as manager
Jimmy Anderson is set to bring the curtain down on his record-breaking England career this summer after face-to-face talks with the head coach, Brendon McCullum. The Guardian understands McCullum recently made a whistle-stop five-day visit to the UK, travelling 11,000 miles from his home in New Zealand to meet Anderson and tell him in person, over a round of golf, that the Test team is looking to the future. This primarily means building a seam attack for the next Ashes series in the winter of 2025-26, by which time Anderson will be 43.
Former Liverpool sporting director Julian Ward is the latest high profile figure to make a return to Fenway Sports Group to join the post-Jurgen Klopp rebuild.
