Cardiff working on deal for Barry-Murphy
Cardiff City are working on a deal to make Brian Barry-Murphy their new manager.The Bluebirds are in negotiations with Leicester City over the 46-year-old, who is currently part of Ruud van Nistelrooy's backroom staff at the Foxes.Talks are said to be progressing and should pave the way for the former Manchester City academy coach to take charge at the Bluebirds.Cardiff entered into advanced discussions with Barry-Murphy over the role after he emerged as the leading choice to succeed Omer Riza, who was sacked in April.Wales captain Aaron Ramsey had taken temporary charge but was unable to prevent the club's relegation to the Championship, before then ruling himself out of contention.Barry-Murphy – who has previously been linked with the Cardiff job – was among the names recommended to the club's board by a panel, with former Oxford United boss Des Buckingham also a contender after efforts to snatch Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones hit a wall.The Irishman has not managed at senior level since a two-year spell at Rochdale where he earned praise for his style of play and working with homegrown talent.Personal terms would still have to be formally agreed with Barry-Murphy, as well as arrangements over backroom staff.

Saturday's briefing: Brentford name new boss and England Under-21s aim for glory
Chelsea prepared to meet Benfica in the Club World Cup round of 16 as England Under-21s focused on becoming European champions again. Our New Head Coach 🐝 — Brentford FC (@BrentfordFC) June 27, 2025 Brentford have appointed Keith Andrews as their new head coach. The Bees have been without a boss since Thomas Frank took up the vacancy at Tottenham left by Ange Postecoglou. Andrews, the former Wolves and Republic of Ireland midfielder, has been working as the Bees' set-piece coach. The 44-year-old has now now been promoted to the top coaching job, saying he felt 'humbled' and 'honoured' to have been appointed. Andrews said: 'I'm very appreciative of the owner (Matthew Benham), the board and the staff that have supported this decision. It's an opportunity I feel I'm very capable of doing and ready to do.' England are close to European Under-21 Championship glory again with a final date against Germany on Saturday. Lee Carsley's Young Lions' victory beat the Netherlands this week to put them within one match of retaining their crown in Slovakia. Harvey Elliott was the star of the show against the Dutch, and the Liverpool attacking midfielder is sure to be a key threat again. Senior England boss Thomas Tuchel is set to make the journey to Bratislava and cast his gaze over players keen to impress him ahead of next summer's World Cup. 'If he does come it will be extra motivation for the lads to win,' skipper James McAtee said. 'More reason to impress the manager.' Summer signing Liam Delap hopes to shine for Chelsea once more in their Club World Cup tie against Benfica. The competition has reached the knockout stage and Blues boss Enzo Maresca has promised further rotation because of the American heat. But Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson remains suspended after being handed a two-match ban for his straight red card against Flamengo. That could mean another start for Delap, who has impressed in the tournament so far and scored his first Chelsea goal against Esperance Tunis. Leicester City Football Club and Ruud van Nistelrooy have mutually agreed that Ruud's contract with the Club as First Team Manager will terminate with immediate effect. — Leicester City (@LCFC) June 27, 2025 Ruud van Nistelrooy has left Leicester following the club's relegation from the Premier League. Van Nistelrooy was appointed at the King Power Stadium in November, but was unable to steer the club away from danger. Leicester's return to the Sky Bet Championship was sealed with five games of the season to play, and Van Nistelrooy's departure had been expected. The former Manchester United and Netherlands forward called for talks with the Foxes hierarchy as soon as relegation was confirmed, but was left hanging for several weeks. The delay since the end of the season is understood to have hinged around the start of a new accounting period, which begins on Monday. All set for tomorrow night's #U21EURO Final 👊⏳ — England (@England) June 27, 2025 England Under-21s go in search of a second successive continental crown when they play Germany in the European Championship final. The Young Lions won the competition two years ago for the first time since 1984 and have eliminated Spain and Netherlands in the knockout stages. The round of 16 at the Club World Cup gets underway with Chelsea playing Benfica in Charlotte, and Palmeiras and Botafogo meeting in an all-Brazil battle in Philadelphia.

Ninja's summer sale buy with £70 off ‘keeps food cold for five days' – ideal for camping, festivals and BBQs
Planning to explore the great outdoors this summer? Ninja has slashed the price of a popular solution for keeping food cold. The Ninja FrostVault cooler has been reduced from £199.99 to £129.99, saving £70 off. 1 Ninja FrostVault 28L Hard Cooler £129.99 (was £199.99) With the current heatwave and the school holidays approaching, many of us are planning day trips and staycations within the UK. Summer is the time to make the most of exploring new places, but having the right kit can make days out much more enjoyable. Investing in a good cooler keeps food costs down and saves you time queuing, and the Ninja FrostVault is worth considering while it's on sale. The FrostVault is designed to keep food cold for an exceptionally long time - with ice remaining frozen for up to five days. Thanks to it's large size, the Ninja cooler can be filled with cans, bottles and food, and the 28L size fits up to 48 cans, so it's enough to cater for a large family or group of friends. It's ideal for festival-goers, as the events are notoriously expensive for food and drinks, while some campsites have no refreshment options at all. Picnics and beach days are made easier too, or if you fancy a day sunbathing in the garden, you can avoid trips back and forward to the kitchen. For food that's not meant to be ice-cold, there's a handy Dry Zone drawer on the outside, which can be used to store sandwiches, fruit and anything else you want to grab easily. The built-in handles also mean you can just grab the cooler and go. Shoppers are praising the highly-rated cooler, with one saying: ''I'm so happy I had my Ninja FrostVault at a recent festival, it kept my drinks and snacks cool from Wednesday to Sunday (five days!!) and having a cool drink was just so needed when it had been a hot day walking round fields!'' ''I would highly recommend for regular campers or festival-goers.'' Another shopper commented: ''Excellent, does what it says it does.'' ''Great for keeping drinks nice and cool and great when having BBQs.'' It is worth keeping in mind that you will need a large amount of ice prepped when packing the cooler, as one shopper vouched: ''Good size compartment and tray - need a lot of ice for a few days which I have not yet tested.''
