Brazil sacks national team manager

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has fired Mano Menezes. The former Corinthians and Gremio manager was sacked on Friday. He was in charge of the 'Samba Boys' of Brazil for a period of two years and three months.

Brazil had a poor showing at Copa America 2011 when they lost to Paraguay in the last eight. The Brazilians won 21 matches,drew 6 and lost 6 under Menezes.

The Sao Paulo based CBF will appoint a new manager before the end of the year.

Brazil still remains the World's most successful football nation with five FIFA World cup titles. The 'selacao' will host the world in 2014.

Juventus' loss propels Roberto Di Matteo's sack

Roman Abramovic has fired Roberto Di Matteo as Chelsea's boss. The Italian manager was sacked on Wednesday morning after his team's 3-0 loss to Juventus on Tuesday night.

Chelsea have only won two of their last eight matches, but yesterday's defeat in Turin was too much for the Russian owner to bear.

Roberto Di Matteo's successor is expected to be named very soon. Rafael Benitez is the favourite choice to fill in the gap left by the Italian.

A group of Chelsea supporters have already rejected the link between Benitez and their club.

Chelsea will become the first defending champions of the UEFA Champions League that will fail to go beyond the group phase of the competition if Juventus doesn't lose their last group match.

Claudio Ranieri fired by Internazionale!

Inter Milan of Italy have sacked Claudio Ranieri. The Italian lost his job after his side's 2-0 loss to title contenders-Juventus. The Serie A match was Ranieri's last match as the manager of the 2010 Champions League winners. Internazionale have lost several games this season. Stramacioni has been appointed as the new manager of the Nerrazurri. Inter were dumped out of the Champions League at the Guiseppe Meazza by Olympique Marseille earlier this month. They have won 12 games, drawn 5 and lost 12 in the Italian Serie A. In terms of goal scoring,they've managed to score 38 goals and conceded the same number of goals.

Will Claudio Ranieri march on?

Massimo Moratti hired Claudio Ranieri when Allegri recorded a string of bad results. Inter Milan have not won a game in the last two months.

Claudio Ranieri

The Italian tactician is under intense pressure. The Nerrazuri have won and lost the same number of matches. and drawn 3 out of the 25 games they've played this season. The 2010 UEFA Champions League winners have scored a total of 34 goals and conceded the same number of goals. Novara and Napoli are some of the teams that have beaten them in the Serie A in recent times. Wesley Sneidjer just seems to have lost his form along with his other team mates. The Internazionale team seems to be aging. Players like Materrazzi,Esteban Cambiaso,Diego Milito and Fabio Cannavaro are getting old. Only Tiago Motta seems to be young and agile to be part of a future Inter Milan team. Diego Forlan has also lost his sparkling form and he has not been able to replicate the form he showed when he was at Atletico Madrid. The Copa America winner and 2010 Europa League winner has not been able to score goals the way he did when he was in Spain.
The departure of  Samuel Eto'o is definitely having a negative effect on this team. How long will Massimo Moratti be able to cope with a string of bad results being recorded at the moment? The Italian man has vowed not to resign his position unless he is sacked.
 Inter Milan are also not doing well in Europe,as they trail Olympique Marseille of France by a goal to nil. The return leg will be held later in March.
