Tuchel’s return heats up high-stakes Bayern-Dortmund clash

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:42:24 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Thomas Tuchel’s unexpected appointment as Bayern Munich coach has added even more spice to “der Klassiker.”Tuchel, who took over after Bayern fired Julian Nagelsmann last Friday, will face former club Borussia Dortmund on Saturday in his first match back in Germany.Dortmund fired Tuchel three days after the team won the 2017 German Cup because he had fallen out with club officials and players over his two seasons in charge. There were disagreements with chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke, sports director Michael Zorc, chief scout Sven Mislintat and others.“We couldn’t see a basis for continued work together built on trust,” Watzke said at the time.Bayern is gambling on Tuchel shaking up the team for the decisive part of the season after a 2-1 loss at Bayer Leverkusen dropped the 10-time defending champions one point behind Dortmund going into Saturday’s match in Munich.Dortmund’s visit is looming as arguably the biggest game of the season — a potential title decider w...

Michel Der Zakarian sparks Montpellier’s revival in France

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:42:24 GMT

The old French saying “the best soups are made in old pots” certainly holds true for Montpellier.The family soccer club in southern France has a myriad of former players and coaches that are part of the organizational chart, or ready to come back and help out when things go wrong.That was the case in February when Michel Der Zakarian — known as “Der Zak” in the region — was reappointed as coach following the firing of Romain Pitau.The 2012 champions were only two points clear of the relegation zone following five losses in six matches and Montpellier president Laurent Nicollin thought the timing was right for a shakeup.“I hope and I think he is the man for the moment,” Nicollin said.His hopes have been fulfilled.Since Der Zakarian’s return, less than two years after his departure, Montpellier is unbeaten, winning five of the six league games it has played. With 16 points taken, the club has been the best team in the league over that period.Ahead of Friday’s trip to secon...

Brief Relief from the Heat Late Week

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:42:24 GMT

A weak front is moving through South Florida this Thursday, which was responsible for the heavy thunderstorms much of the metro received Wednesday evening. As this front slowly pushes through the area, it will introduce milder temperatures and lower humidity — but it won’t last long.In Miami, the 0.57 inches of rainfall over the past two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) was the most since February 17 when 0.61 inches of rain fell. In Fort Lauderdale, just shy of 1 inch was recorded, which is the most in nearly two months!A few showers will remain possible this Thursday due to the weak front and moisture blowing onshore associated with a northeast wind. The best chance for any showers will be from 9 AM through 3 PM across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Then that rain risk will shift toward the Florida Keys with the best chance for any shower activity being in the mid-afternoon to evening hours.Otherwise, expect times of sunshine paired with seasonable highs in the low to mi...
