Oliver Glasner is set for talks with Bayer Leverkusen on Friday as the German side move closer to talks crystal Palace Manager.

BILD report that things could move quickly around the Crystal Palace boss as his time at Selhurst Park comes to a close.

From Crystal Palace to Leverkusen

The newspaper reports that Bayer Leverkusen’s decision on its next manager may be imminent. And Oliver Glasner, his preferred candidate, is close to being safe.

According to information from BILD, Glasner’s agent and Leverkusen are in talks about this situation. Those conversations have now progressed much further. A formal meeting with Glassner is planned for Friday.

The German club has been following the deadline for the last one week. Glassner wanted to end the first season in the Crystal Palace and avoid interacting with any lovers up to that point.

After winning the Europa Conference League on Wednesday, he is now ready to negotiate and put forward a deal. The internal deadline for his appointment has been set at the end of May or beginning of June at the most. Glasner has been the first choice for a long time.

Leverkusen’s chances improve

Bild has learned that Leverkusen’s chances of convincing him are better than before. Oliver Glassner can imagine himself taking the job. CEO Fernando Caro and sporting director Simon Rolfes had held extensive discussions with the title-winning manager years earlier.

The question is whether Glasner wants to return to the Bundesliga. He is still attracted to the Premier League after his success at Crystal Palace. He wanted a top job, but they were already filled with other candidates.

This at least improves Leverkusen’s chances. According to BILD, what attracted Glasner is that Bayer already has a strong, developing team and the money to bring in more stars. A budget of €100m has been set for the summer.

With talks scheduled for Friday, it appears that terms will be set. And Glasner could be set for a quick return to the Bundesliga following his success at Selhurst Park.

Several new reports have emerged regarding several NXT stars moving to the main roster and a WWE veteran switching brands.

With WrestleMania 42 officially behind the scenes, it’s time for WWE to move on to new storylines and roster adjustments on Monday Night Raw and SmackDown. Often, this is the period when the company returns with the annual draft. However, it is unclear when or if this will happen even after it is abandoned in 2025.

Still, there has been a notable influx of talent on both rosters over the past few months. Artists like Oba Femi, Trick Williams, Page and Royce Keys. Well, it looks like the new additions to the main roster won’t be slowing down any time soon.

After former NXT Champion Ethan Page debuted on Raw this week, Wrestle Votes reports that one-time TNA Champion Joe Hendry is expected to move to the red brand soon, after some initial speculation that he could move to SmackDown. The former NXT Champion was defeated decisively by Keanu Culver on this week’s episode of NXT.

There are also rumors that one-time NXT and North American Champion Ricky Saints could be moved to the main roster. BodySlam+ claims there have been discussions about a move, but The CW Network has told WWE they would like at least one notable veteran as a top star for the brand on their airwaves. Therefore, The Saints may stick around in NXT for some time.

Could Rey Mysterio be moved to SmackDown?

Hendry, Saints and Page aren’t the only NXT stars in discussion or joining the main roster. According to Wrestle Votes, longtime NXT Women’s Champion Jessie Jayne has also been talked about as a name to add to the SmackDown roster during creative meetings.

Jayne is the longest-tenured member of the NXT roster after debuting with the black-and-gold brand in the summer of 2021. Along with being a two-time Women’s Champion, she is also a former tag team titlist.

The Wrestle Votes report also reveals that WWE creative is considering bringing in Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. The wrestling legend is currently a member of the Raw roster, and is reportedly considering the possibility of a move to SmackDown soon.

MIAMI – As the Miami Heat saw the return of Norman Powell and Tyler Herro, it wasn’t enough to overcome the Orlando Magic on Saturday night, losing 121-117. The Heat had major momentum after Bam Adebayo scored a historic 83 points on Tuesday and won seven straight games on Thursday, a streak that was snapped, albeit in an instance that left teammates angry.

Although Miami struggled in the first half, with Orlando jumping out to a 22-point lead, the team returned to its strength on both sides of the ball in the second half, making it a close game with less than a minute left in the contest. The game-changing moment was when the Heat were down four points with 36.6 seconds left in the game as Pelle Larsson inbounded the ball.

After Larson did not blow the referee’s whistle, Miami called for a five-second violation, with the team clearly upset by the decision.

With the team and officiating working on it all night, Adebayo had a strong message, calling out the referee who “changed” the game.

“As for the call, it felt like it was swift. That’s what’s frustrating about it, because if we say anything about it we get fined,” Adebayo told ClutchPoints. “But it changed the game. And when you change the game, you’ve got to stick with it.”

“Then on the other side, I felt like they had a five-second call that wasn’t called. Changed the game,” Adebayo continued. “They influence the game in a way that sometimes has an impact, and they get to go home and sleep peacefully, and we’re talking about a call here that you feel should have been called or wasn’t called.”

Asked Bam Adebayo about the controversial five-second call and the second half.

“The disappointing thing is that if we say anything about it we get fined, but it changed the game. When you change the game you have to stick to it…” #HeatNation

Heat’s Norman Powell says controversial call by refs was “BS”

Heat players raised their voices about the five-second violation, though they all mentioned how the team suffered in the first half, especially when the Magic were allowed to score 41 points, shooting nearly 70 percent from the field in the first quarter. Still, the violation was a stifling call that took away momentum from Miami, such that the call could have been considered a toss-up; Many on the Heat believe this decision was made too quickly.

Star Norman Powell spoke openly about his displeasure with the call, after scoring 20 points off the bench in his return after missing seven games due to a groin strain, telling ClutchPoints that the five-second violation was “BS.”

“It was so fast we didn’t even get through our first two options before they called a five-second violation,” Powell said. “And late in the game, we tried to get them the ball inbounds, they allowed them to call timeout when it was obviously longer than our five-second call. So, we just got frustrated when we were trying to figure out how we could steal the game on the inbounds.”

Norman Powell was asked about repeated calls with referees, particularly the controversial five-second call:

“I thought the five-second call was BS…” #HeatNation

Another player who returned from injury, this time missing two contests due to quadriceps soreness, was Tyler Herro. Finishing the game with 10 points on a disappointing shooting night, he agreed it was a quick call, but says the team will “stick with it”.

“I don’t think it was five seconds. It was a quick five,” Herro said. “Obviously, we stepped back and put ourselves in a position to be limited to four, limited to three, reduced to a one-possession game. But we can’t put ourselves in that position.”

Erik Spoelstra on self-inflicted wounds by the Heat

While the Heat had an inspiring win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, the loss against the Magic hurt for a number of reasons, the main one being that Miami has been unable to defeat Orlando in its five games this season. The Magic are just the second team in the last three decades to defeat a team (the Heat) five times in a single season.

While Spoelstra also agreed about the five-second call being harsh, he would discuss how the team positions itself for the referee’s single call as the deciding factor.

“They said it was five seconds. I mean, I haven’t gone through the mechanics of it yet, but it felt like a quick five,” Spoelstra said. “But still, we put ourselves in that position. And defensively in the second half, we made a lot of stands, holding them to 37 percent and 50 points. It was a lot different than that first half.”

Spoelstra continued, “We were getting attacked off the dribble, a lot of them, in one-on-one situations, and then in different ways, then cuts, then transitions, we didn’t set the tone for the game defensively.” “And then the rest of the second half, we had to dig out from behind. We don’t want to get into the habit of allowing teams to score 70 and a half runs on us without any resistance.”

The loss to the Heat dropped them to 38-30 on the season, leaving them in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, with their next game coming on Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets.

In years past, facing the Charlotte Hornets meant only two things: 1. It’s an automatic win and 2. The Stars don’t have to play hard.

But fighting hornets is no longer an easy task these days. The Stars will have to bring their A-game to keep up with Charlotte’s high-octane offense led by LaMelo Ball.

Ball has always had talent, but due to injuries he has struggled to stay on the field. This season, he stayed healthy, reminding everyone that he is still one of the premier players in the league.

Ball accomplished another historic feat in their win over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, as he became fastest player To reach 900 three-pointers in NBA history. Ball accomplished the feat in just 287 games, breaking Duncan Robinson’s previous record of 305 games.

LaMelo Ball just added another historic shooting mark to his resume!

The Hornets star is now the fastest player in NBA history to reach 900 career 3-pointers, doing so in just 287 games.

Just imagine how much faster Ball would have done it had he not missed so many games.

He finished with 30 points and six three-pointers, including one in front of the Kings’ bench. After this, he spent some quality time with Russell Westbrook and Malik Monk.

Any guesses on what Ball told them?

With Ball, who is averaging 19.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.1 steals, at the helm, the Hornets have become a threat in the Eastern Conference. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games. At one point, they had a nine-game winning streak, their longest since the 1997–1998 season.

Of course, the 24-year-old Ball isn’t doing it alone. The arrival of Kon Knuppel has certainly boosted the Hornets, while Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate have provided steady support. Adding Coby White at the trade deadline was a smart move.

Barring any unexpected setbacks, the Hornets are finally on track to end their nine-year playoff drought.

Newcastle United star Sandro Tonali should consider changing his career to athletics as he only runs.

That’s according to Antonio Cassano, who is clearly not a fan of the Newcastle midfielder. He is speaking about a 25 year old man Comments broadcast by Calciomercato.

The former Italian striker turned mouthpiece tells Il Messaggero about the Italian national team.

The Blues are currently struggling to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup through the European play-offs. They have missed the last two tournaments in 2018 and 2022 and will now face a crucial play-off to avoid making a third.

World Cup in danger

This came after they finished second behind Norway in Group I and failed to achieve automatic qualification. They will host Northern Ireland in a single-leg play-off semi-final in March. If they defeated them, they would have to invade Wales or Bosnia and Herzegovina later that month.

It’s a dire situation for a team that is tied with Germany for the second most successful nation in World Cup history.

This led to significant and increasing criticism from fans, media and former players. Cassano is one of those people who is not cautious in sharing such opinions. And now their attention appears to be turning to Newcastle’s star man.

“It’s bad, but I’m confident that Gattuso will steer the ship in the right direction with his ideas and we’ll reach the World Cup,” he said.

“The only champion is Donnarumma. Pio Esposito? He is twenty years old and we consider him a novice: Totti and I made our debut at seventeen.

“She should do athletics”

“Tonali plays in the Premier League and never gets it. He runs and runs… He should do athletics. He and Barela are poor. Barela used to run, but he doesn’t run anymore. We need quality. I like Vergara.”

The question is, does anyone listen? It would be surprising if Premier League star Tonali cares what Cassano thinks at this point.

Sport Witness has covered him extensively over the past few months. In fact, A report earlier this month His agent has dismissed transfer rumors as Tonali wants to focus on helping Italy win the World Cup.

Instead of Cassano criticizing players like Tonali, perhaps Italy needs a similar mentality.
