Sheffield Wednesday part company with manager Rohl
German Rohl, 36, took charge of Wednesday in October 2023 and helped the Yorkshire side avoid relegation from the second tier. He guided them to a 12th-place finish last season.
"Sheffield Wednesday would like to thank Danny and his backroom team for their services and wish them well for the future," the club said in a statement.
The English Football League (EFL) put Wednesday under transfer restrictions and charged the club last month over unpaid player wages. Owner Dejphon Chansiri was also charged for causing the club to be in breach of EFL regulations.
Media reports said Chansiri was looking to sell the Hillsborough-based club.

Francesca Albanese loses blue checkmark on X after US sanctions
Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, has lost her "blue check" verification badge on X, formerly Twitter. The removal, which occurred today, marks the first reported instance of a UN official having their verified status removed from a major social media platform due to national sanctions. This action follows a legal appeal sent to X's owner, Elon Musk, by a law firm representing the Geneva-based watchdog UN Watch on July 31, 2025. UN Watch is often described as 'a lobby group with strong ties to Israel', and regulatory denounces what it says is anti-'Israel' sentiment at the UN and UN-sponsored events. The de-verification comes after the US government sanctioned Albanese on July 9, 2025. These sanctions, enacted under Executive Order 14203, include freezing any US-based assets, prohibiting her entry into the United States, and banning US citizens and entities from providing her with goods or services. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio justified the sanctions by stating Albanese had "spewed unabashed antisemitism, expressed support for terrorism, and open contempt for the United States, Israel, and the West," specifically citing her efforts to "prompt the International Criminal Court (ICC) action against US and Israeli officials, companies and executives". Albanese, an Italian human rights lawyer appointed UN Special Rapporteur in May 2022, has been a vocal critic of 'Israel's' actions in Gaza, asserting they amount to genocide and calling for an immediate ceasefire. She recently issued a report identifying US companies aiding Israel's occupation and war in Gaza. In response to the sanctions, Albanese dismissed them as "mafia-style intimidation techniques" and "obscene," reaffirming her commitment to justice and international law. X's policy mandates compliance with trade laws, including US sanctions, stating that individuals or entities on a restricted sanctions list "can't purchase X Premium to keep your verification".

Chelsea loans defender Mamadou Sarr back to sister club Strasbourg for upcoming season
Ammon News - Premier League side Chelsea loaned teenage defender Mamadou Sarr back to sister club Strasbourg on Friday for the upcoming Ligue 1 season. The French club confirmed the loan move on its website, having sold the highly rated Sarr to Chelsea in June. Strasbourg is owned by the consortium led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital that bought Chelsea in 2022. The 19-year-old Sarr is a France under-20 international. He was a regular last season, playing 27 league games as Alsace-based Strasbourg finished in seventh place to seal a place in the Conference League playoffs. He previously played briefly for Lyon. Chelsea won the Conference League last season and will play in the Champions League after finishing in fourth place in the Premier League. Strasbourg was bought by Chelsea's ownership group, BlueCo, in 2023. Chelsea said Sarr had signed a contract until 2033 but didn't disclose the transfer fee. Strasbourg opens its league campaign at Metz on Aug. 17. AP

Wirtz opens Liverpool account in friendly win in Japan
Ammon News - Florian Wirtz scored his first Liverpool goal as the Premier League champions beat Yokohama F. Marinos 3-1 in a pre-season friendly in Japan on Wednesday. French forward Hugo Ekitike made his debut for Liverpool, one week after joining from Eintracht Frankfurt for a reported 69 million pounds ($92 million). Wirtz equalized after Yokohama opened the scoring early in the second half, the German slamming home a right-foot shot from inside the box in front of over 65,000 fans. 'I am really happy that I could score my first goal. I hope there are more to come,' said Wirtz, who joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in a blockbuster deal. Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha also scored for Liverpool, who announced the sale of Colombian forward Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich on Wednesday. Liverpool manager Arne Slot said he was happy to see his team come from behind to win but was not pleased with their missed chances. 'It could be with a tough training camp and it could be with the heat circumstances,' said the Dutchman. 'But that's something that we definitely have to improve.' Goalkeeper Alisson Becker missed the match after traveling home to Brazil 'for private reasons,' Liverpool said. Shortly before kickoff, an emotional tribute was given to Diogo Jota, who passed away this month in a car crash. Liverpool dominated throughout but Yokohama opened the scoring when Asahi Uenaka pounced in the 55th minute to beat Giorgi Mamardashvili. Wirtz levelled when he latched onto a Mohamed Salah pass.
