Keylor Navas To Join UNAM Pumas After Brief Stint In Argentina With Newell's Old Boys
'Commitment, professionalism, and respect for the club's values are non-negotiable,' Newell's Old Boys said. 'To achieve our goals, it is essential that each member pulls in the same direction, always prioritizing the team over the individual.'
Newell's, Lionel Messi's boyhood club, is based in Rosario, 300 kilometers (186 miles) northeast of Buenos Aires.
Navas signed with Newell's Old Boys after finishing his second spell with Paris Saint-Germain, where he made just six appearances in all competitions.
In a previous stint at PSG, he played four seasons and helped the club secure two French league titles.
Navas made his professional debut with Saprissa in Costa Rica in 2005 and began his European career four years later with Albacete. He then moved to Levante and signed with Real Madrid for the 2014-15 season.
With Real Madrid, Navas won a league title and a Super Cup, as well as three Champions League titles.

Rishabh Pant's Heroic Fifty vs England With Fractured Toe Compared With Anil Kumble's Broken Jaw Act
In a surprising move, India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who sustained an injury to his right foot on Day 1 of the Manchester Test, came out to bat on Day 2 with a fractured right toe amid a rousing reception at Old Trafford on Thursday. After Shardul Thakur was dismissed by Ben Stokes for 41, Pant was seen walking down the stairs slowly amid the loudest of roars, applause and a standing ovation from the Manchester crowd and was limping his way to the middle. Pant looked in obvious discomfort as he hobbled to complete his singles. A few minutes after he made the long walk out there, Pant had to make the long walk back as well, as rain forced an early lunch at Old Trafford. Former Indian wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta hailed Pant's courageous move, which resembles the moment when former India coach and legendary spinner Anil Kumble walked out to bowl with a broken jaw against the West Indies in 2002. Kumble was hit by Merv Dillon and spat out blood, but batted on for another 20 minutes. Later, with his face bandaged, Kumble sent down 14 consecutive overs and dismissed Brian Lara while bowling with a broken jaw. "I had seen Anil Kumble come out to bowl with a broken jaw in Antigua and didn't think I would see anything like that again. But this Rishabh Pant act of courage is right up there. Just Rishabh being Rishabh," Dasgupta posted on X. I had seen Anil Kumble come out to bowl with a broken jaw in Antigua and didn't think I would see anything like that again. But this Rishabh Pant act of courage is right up there. Just Rishabh being Rishabh. #ENGvsIND — Deep Dasgupta (@DeepDasgupta7) July 24, 2025 Former India allrounder Irfan Pathan lauded Pant's decision to bat and called him a fighter. "Rishabh Pant, you fighter," he shared on X. Rishabh pant you fighter. #respect — Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) July 24, 2025 Ex-India allrounder Yusuf Pathan added, "When you represent your country at any level, that's the kind of courage and fighting spirit you show. Hats off to Rishabh Pant for walking out to bat despite the injury." "Here comes Rishabh Pant... A classy reception from the Emirates Old Trafford crowd," England Cricket posted on X. However, BCCI said that Pant will not be performing wicket-keeping duties for the remainder of the match and Dhruv Jurel will assume the role of wicketkeeper. Earlier on Thursday, IANS had reported that Pant wished to come out to bat for India in the ongoing match, despite the pain and taking a lot of injections on his injured right foot. Pant's injury happened in the 68th over of India's innings on day one's play, when he attempted a premeditated reverse sweep off seam bowling all-rounder Chris Woakes, but the ball hit his right boot after taking an inside edge. With the swelling on top of the foot taking the shape of a table tennis ball and some blood coming out as well, Pant was unable to put any weight on his injured foot. Eventually, an ambulance buggy resembling a golf cart took a grimacing Pant off the field, as he retired hurt on 37 off 48 balls, after having a partnership worth 72 runs with B. Sai Sudharsan. Scans later revealed that Pant has sustained a fracture on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, with the recovery period being a minimum of six weeks. But Pant defied all odds and put his body on the line for the country.

A Couple Weeks And Gone! Tsitsipas Splits With Coach Ivanisevic After Brief Partnership
Last Updated: Stefanos Tsitsipas ended his coaching partnership with Goran Ivanisevic due to struggles with form and fitness. Tsitsipas aims to reset for Toronto. Stefanos Tsitsipas has ended his coaching partnership with Goran Ivanisevic, just weeks after the two joined forces in an attempt to revive the Greek star's struggling form. 'Working with Goran Ivanisevic was brief but an intense experience and a truly valuable chapter in my journey," Tsitsipas wrote in a statement posted to Instagram. 'I'm thankful for the time, effort and energy he dedicated to me and my team." A Short-Lived Coaching Experiment Tsitsipas, once ranked as high as world No. 3 and a two-time Grand Slam finalist, began working with the 2001 Wimbledon champion following his early exit at the French Open in late May. The decision came as part of a broader effort to arrest a concerning dip in form that saw him fall out of the top 20 in June. Despite the high-profile hire, the partnership yielded little success. Tsitsipas played under Ivanisevic's guidance at the ATP event in Halle and at Wimbledon, where he was forced to retire from his opening-round match due to a back injury, trailing by two sets against French qualifier Valentin Royer. 'As we are now following our separate ways, I have only respect for Goran—not just for what he's achieved in tennis, but also for who he is as a person," Tsitsipas added. 'I wish him nothing but the very best moving forward." Prior to their split, Ivanisevic offered a scathing assessment of Tsitsipas' professionalism, particularly in regard to his preparation and physical condition. Speaking to Serbian broadcaster Sport Klub, the Croatian coach did not mince words. 'I've talked to him a lot of times. If he solves some things outside of tennis, then he has a chance and he'll return to where he belongs, because he's too good a player to be out of the top 10," Ivanisevic said. 'But he wants to, and he doesn't do anything. All 'I want, I want,' but I don't see that progress… I was shocked. I have never seen a more unprepared player in my life. With this knee, I am three times more fit than him. This is really bad." Struggles at the Majors Continue The split underscores a period of uncertainty for Tsitsipas, who has reached only one Grand Slam quarterfinal in his last nine appearances—a stark contrast to the consistency he displayed earlier in his career. Now ranked outside the top 20, the 26-year-old will look to reset as he prepares for his next scheduled appearance in Toronto, where main-draw action begins on Sunday. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 18:18 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
