Brazilian Paulo César hired as coach of PSG women's team
PARIS (AP) — Paulo Cesar was hired as coach of the Paris Saint-Germain women's team on Monday, having played for the men's team during his career as a midfielder.
PSG said in a statement that the 47-year-old Brazilian signed a two-year contract. He previously coached the club's under-19 women's team, which won the title last season, and he took charge of the women's senior team on an interim basis after Fabrice Abriel was fired last May.
'I'm deeply attached to this club,' César said. "It's with a lot of enthusiasm and determination that I take on this role.'
César made 67 appearances for the men's team from 2002-07, winning the French Cup in 2006, and also played in Ligue 1 for Toulouse. He won three caps with Brazil.

Poland beats Denmark for first ever Women's European Championship win
Associated Press LUCERNE, Switzerland (AP) — Natalia Padilla scored one goal and set up the others for Poland's first ever Women's European Championship win, 3-2 over Denmark in their final group game on Saturday. Poland is appearing in the tournament for the first time and the Spanish-born Padilla got the country's first ever goal when she opened the scoring in the 13th minute, pouncing on a rebound to fire past Maja Bay Østergaard after Ewa SPajor's initial effort was blocked at the right post. Padilla then crossed for Pajor to head in the second in the 20th. Denmark suffered another blow five minutes later when captain Pernille Harder went off with what looked like a hamstring injury. Denmark was already without Emma Snerle, who suffered a head injury during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Germany. Denmark players paused during their pre-game warmup to pose with Snerle's jersey, while Danish fans also displayed a large banner wishing her well. Denmark pulled one back through Janni Thomsen before the hour-mark when Kinga Szemik let her long-range effort slip through her fingers. Martyna Wiankowska scored Poland's third against the run of play in the 76th when Padilla's attempted shot from Pajor's cross turned into a layoff for the substitute to fire in off the underside of the crossbar. Forward Signe Bruun finally got her goal in the 83rd, setting up a nervy finale, but Poland held on for a momentous win. Neither team had any hope of emerging from Group C after losing their opening games. Sweden defeated Germany 4-1 in the other match to top the group. ___ AP soccer:

Shohei Ohtani pitches 3 scoreless innings against the Giants
Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Shohei Ohtani pitched three scoreless innings against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday as the Dodgers star continues to work his way back from elbow surgery. Working as an opener for the fifth time this season after not pitching in all of 2024, Ohtani threw 36 pitches, 25 for strikes while serving as Los Angeles' opener for the fifth time this season. He allowed one hit and struck out the side on 12 pitches in the first inning when his fastball was twice clocked at 99.9 mph. The Giants only two runners against Ohtani came on a four-pitch walk to Jung Hoo Lee in the second inning and Mike Yastrzemski's single in the third.
