Today, Schalke confirmed in a post on X (Twitter) that Osmanbasic and Lattimore were joining the Gelsenkirchen-based club, as well as goalkeeping coach Volkan Unlu.
In response to that, Osmanbasic said: "Grateful for the opportunity to join the Schalke 04 coaching staff. Thank you to Miron Muslic, Frank Baumann (director of sport), and the entire club for the trust. Excited to get to work!"

He also made a post on X last night after his departure from Argyle, along with that of Lattimore, was confirmed, following the news that Damon Lathrope, Matt Bevans and Chris Douglas had joined new head coach Tom Cleverley's backroom staff.
Osmanbasic said: "Today, my time at Argyle came to an end. I want to thank all of the incredible players, staff, and supporters involved with the club. I'll continue to support from afar. I wish nothing but success for the club, and its new staff. I am sure Argyle will return to where it belongs!"
Lathrope, the former Torquay United midfielder, will be Cleverley's assistant head coach at Argyle, as he was at Watford last season, with Bevans as first team coach and Douglas as first team analyst.
Bevans guided Watford under-18s to the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup last season, assisted by Lloyd Doyley. They beat Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton along the way before eventually losing 1-0 to Manchester City in the last four of the competition.

British and Irish Lions dominate Force in the opening game of their Australian tour
PERTH, Australia (AP) — Dan Sheehan made the perfect start on debut for the British and Irish Lions. The Ireland hooker led the Lions for the first game of their Australian tour, scored in the second minute and steered the team to a commanding 54-7 win over the Perth-based Western Force on Saturday. After an arm-wrestle of a first half where the Lions led 21-7 despite having only 40% of possession and spending most of the time in their own half, the bigger, more polished British and Irish lineup opened up and put five unanswered tries on a tiring defense in the second. Scrumhalf Tomos Williams scored a pair of tries before limping off with a left hamstring issue, fullback Elliot Daly scored two tries and flyhalf Finn Russell created two tries with his spur-of-the-moment judgement. He also kicked five goals. Henry Pollock, the 20-year-old England No. 8, played an integral hand in two tries and also spent 10 minutes in the sin-bin in his eventful debut start for the Lions. Early exchanges The Lions made changes after a 28-24 loss to Argentina in a warmup last week in Dublin, putting more emphasis on short, sharp passing. The Lions had the ball for 11 phases until Russell kicked high and wide to the right touchline where Sheehan took the ball high and tapped infield for winger James Low, who flicked an inside pass back to him to score. The Force equalized quickly after 14 phases of attack with veteran Wallabies scrumhalf Nic White sniping over from the base of a ruck in the fifth minute. The Force opted against taking penalty goals in order to keep up attacking intensity but the Lions held firm and relieved pressure with some crucial turnovers. Flyhalf Russell set up the first try with his pinpoint kick wide and the third with a quick penalty tap and go in the 35th, scooting up to the five-yard line before popping up a ball off the ground for fullback Daly to score. In between, Pollock was instrumental in the Lions' second try, bursting onto a sharp inside ball from openside flanker Josh van der Flier, stepping inside and out and going to ground before popping a ball up to scrumhalf Williams to score. The tourists went into halftime with a man down after Pollock was yellow carded for a ruck infringement deep inside his own quarter. The Force crossed the line from the resulting penalty but were held up. A key moment Williams finished off an 80-meter counter-attacking try seven minutes into the second half. Both wingers were involved, with Lowe making an initial break and then exchanging passes with Williams at the end. Williams limped off after scoring, and was replaced by Alex Mitchell. The Lions' attacking intent led directly to Garry Ringrose's try soon after that gave the Lions a 33-7 lead. Pollock, the youngest member of the Lions squad, was back in the attack quickly, chipping over the defense, regathering and almost scoring himself before the Lions shifted it quickly through the hands for lock Joe McCarthy to score out wide in the 55th. Daly scored in the 71st minute after sustained attack to help the Lions take a 40-point buffer. It was extended to 47 when Mitchell scored after the siren, taking the last pass from Australian-born Ireland winger Mack Hansen to put the final touches on the victory. The Lions are playing nine games in their first tour to Australia since 2013, including tests in Brisbane on July 19, in Melbourne on July 26 and in Sydney on Aug. 2. ___ AP rugby:

Report – Inter Milan Will Only Sign €60M Rated Atalanta Star On One Condition
Report – Inter Milan Will Only Sign €60M Rated Atalanta Star On One Condition Inter Milan will only move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson this summer if Hakan Calhanoglu departs. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that La Dea will hold out for a fee of €60 million for the Brazilian. Advertisement Inter Milan have reportedly been eyeing up a possible move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson. The 25-year-old has come to the end of his third season at Atalanta. He joined the Bergamo-based club from Salernitana in the summer of 2022. And Ederson has certainly grown into one of the outstanding midfielders in Serie A during his time at the Gewiss Arena. Inter Milan Will Only Move For Atalanta Midfielder Ederson If Calhanoglu Leaves MONZA, ITALY – MAY 04: Ederson of Atalanta BC in action during the Serie A match between AC Monza and Atalanta BC at U-Power Stadium on May 04, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) However, considering Ederson's form, Atalanta will not let the Brazilian go for cheap. The Corriere dello Sport anticipate that La Dea want a fee of at least €60 million for Ederson. Advertisement Therefore, Inter would have to make a big sale if they are to move for the 25-year-old. The obvious candidate in this respect would be Hakan Calhanoglu. The Turkish international could bring in a fee of around €35-40 million, which Inter could reinvest in a move for Ederson to replace him. However, if Inter do not sell Calhanoglu, then there would be little scope for them to sign the Brazilian.
