🚨Welcome Miguelo, Boca confirm Russo's return
Just minutes ago, the Xeneize team announced the arrival of Miguel Ángel Russo, who will replace Mariano Herrón at the helm of the team.
Without a doubt, his arrival took longer than expected. Unblocking his situation at San Lorenzo was not easy. Now, the coach made it clear that Boca appeared after he was eliminated by Platense.

"Boca appeared after I was eliminated with San Lorenzo, it didn't appear before. So you have an idea and a norm of the football codes."
This will be Russo's third cycle at the helm of the La Ribera club and his second in the era of Juan Román Riquelme as president. Will it be the one to win the seventh title?

Jannik Sinner won't say why he fired two team members right before Wimbledon
Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Jannik Sinner confirmed that he recently fired two members of his team — fitness coach Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio, who themselves were replacements for people involved in the player's doping case — but declined Saturday to explain the reason for the change ahead of Wimbledon. Sinner, who has been ranked No. 1 for more than a year, said that he decided shortly after losing in the second round of the grass-court tournament in Halle, Germany, this month to make the change. Sinner has not yet found substitutes for Panichi and Badio, who both used to work with Novak Djokovic. 'Nothing seriously bad happened. They did great work for (the past) three months. Sometimes, things happen,' Sinner said at his pre-tournament news conference. 'The timing obviously isn't the best, but having done a lot of work (together) before, it won't affect this Grand Slam a lot. I feel well physically and mentally and ready to compete.' Play begins Monday at the All England Club, where Sinner was a quarterfinalist in 2024. He will play Luca Nardi in an all-Italian matchup on Tuesday. Last year, Sinner tested positive twice for a trace amount of an anabolic steroid in March; the case wasn't made public until August, shortly before the U.S. Open, which he ended up winning for the second of his three Grand Slam titles. He initially was completely cleared, based on the defense that he accidentally was exposed to the banned substance, Clostebol, via a massage from his then-physiotherapist, Giacomo Naldi. Sinner said his fitness trainer at the time, Umberto Ferrara, purchased a product in Italy and gave it to Naldi for a cut on Naldi's finger. Naldi then treated Sinner while not wearing gloves. The World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the exoneration, and Sinner agreed to serve a three-month ban that ended right before the Italian Open in May. On Saturday, Sinner was asked repeatedly in English and Italian what led him to part ways with Panichi and Badio. 'There's not one specific thing,' Sinner said. He was the runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open three weeks ago, wasting a two-set lead and three match points in a final that lasted 5 1/2 hours. As for adding new team members, Sinner said Saturday: 'I haven't thought about replacements. It's not the time to think about my options. But there are a lot of options.' ___ Howard Fendrich has been the AP's tennis writer since 2002. Find his stories here: More AP tennis: in this topic

What can Amari Williams bring to the Boston Celtics?
On Thursday, June 26, the Boston Celtics selected English big man Amari Williams with the 48th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Williams is a five-year collegiate product, having spent four seasons with Drexel before moving to Kentucky for the 2024-25 campaign. Williams' best skill is his playmaking ability, especially on the perimeter or around the elbows. In a post-draft news conference, Celtics Vice President of Basketball Operations, Mike Zarren, detailed what led the Celtics to acquire the big man in the draft process. Zarren noted his rebounding and playmaking as key aspects of his skill set that attracted Boston to the Wildcats product. 'He's been one of the best passing big men in college for a long time,' Zarren said. 'He's an elite rebounder, he's a great guy, he had a wonderful career at Drexel, and then stepped it up another level at Kentucky. When you meet him, you'll see he's got just an enormous, enormous wingspan. And as you'll see on the court, if you haven't seen already, he's got incredible vision. And those things are just key abilities in the modern we play through big guys at the the guys we have had on our roster, and Amari should fit into that pretty well.' As a late second-round pick, Williams will likely spend a significant amount of time with the Maine Celtics in the G League. However, Boston has proven that it's open to giving two-way talent an opportunity to impress if they earn their minutes the hard way. Therefore, Williams should feel motivated to improve his game, and showcase his undoubted offensive skill next season. Nevertheless, there are some concerns surrounding Williams' defense. He has heavy feet and limited hip mobility, which could make him a target for opposing guards and forwards, regardless of whether he's playing drop defense, up-to-touch or switching as part of a switch-everything system. Still, rookies aren't supposed to be the finished product, so hopes will likely remain high over Williams' potential. Watch the "Taylor Talks Celtics" podcast on: YouTube: Website:
