Tottenham endured a poor start to the season, tumbling to 14th place, but most supporters expected him to turn things around. Nor has his reputation for arrogance, hostility—he once gouged an opposing manager in the eye—and spectacular downfalls. Though most of his tenures have started with great success, including league titles in four different countries and two Champions League trophies, they have usually ended acrimoniously. Most Manchester United fans were relieved when the club sacked him 11 months ago. Spurs fans last saw their club lift a trophy in Perhaps this regular though ungracious winner might bring them glory once again? Mr Mourinho certainly believes he will. But he remains as self-confident as ever. The problem is you never understood that. But will the Humble One actually prod Tottenham to perform at a higher level than their talented players ought to reach? And those who have overachieved at their last club have about the same chance as a coin flip of doing so in their next job.

  • Juventus E Inter Già Con Un Piede in Champions League
    Sport - Sport, calcio, Serie A: Juventus e Inter già con un piede in Champions League Roma - 17 ago 2021 (Prima Pagina News) In cinque si contendono i due posti rimasti su Sisal.it. In sette per quattro posti. Dopo circa 20 anni, la Serie A sembra tornata quella delle sette sorelle dei primi anni Duemila con Juventus, Inter, Milan, Roma e Lazio ancora lì con Atalanta e Napoli che hanno preso il posto di Parma e Fiorentina. La lotta per un posto in Champions League si preannuncia durissima e ogni punto lasciato per strada, o conquistato, potrebbe essere determinante a fine stagione.Due tra queste sette formazioni, secondo gli esperti di Sisal Matchpoint, hanno già un posto assicurato, o quasi, tra le prime quattro del torneo che parte sabato prossimo. Juventus e Inter, infatti, non dovrebbero aver problemi a partecipare alla Champions della stagione 2022-2023: i bianconeri, con il ritorno di Max Allegri che li vede favoriti anche per lo scudetto, sono accreditati di una quota rasoterra di 1,05. Si sale leggermente per ciò che riguarda i campioni d’Italia dell’Inter, passati dalle mani di Conte a quelle di Simone Inzaghi, che hanno salutato Luaku e Hakimi ma accolto Dzeko e Dumfries. I nerazzurri, nonostante questi cambiamenti, non dovrebbero incontrare ostacoli verso la Champions essendo dati a 1,25. Sul terzo gradino del podio si piazza l’Atalanta di Gian Piero Gasperini, da tre stagioni protagonista fissa della massima competizione europea. Gasp e i suoi ragazzi vogliono centrare il poker e l’impresa appare decisamente alla loro portata tanto che si giocano a 1,57.

    MERIT report on Media Value in Football Season 2014/15 Summary - Main results Authors: Pedro García del Barrio Director Académico de MERIT social value Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) Bruno Montoro Ferreiro Analista de MERIT social value Asier López de Foronda López Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) With the collaboration of: Josep Maria Espina Serra (UIC Barcelona) Arnau Raventós Gascón (UIC Barcelona) Ignacio Fernández Ponsin (UIC Barcelona) www.meritsocialvalue.com 2 Presentation MERIT (Methodology for the Evaluation and Rating of Intangible Talent) is part of an academic project with vast applications in the field of business and company management. This methodology has proved to be useful in measuring the economic value of intangible talent in professional sport and in other entertainment industries. In our estimations – and in the elaboration of the rankings – two elements are taken into consideration: popularity (degree of interest aroused between the fans and the general public) and media value (the level of attention that the mass media pays). The calculations may be made at specific points in time during a season, or accumulating the news generated during a particular period: weeks, months, years, etc. Additionally, the homogeneity amongst the measurements allows for a comparison of the media value status of individuals, teams, institutions, etc. Together with the measurements and rankings, our database allows us to conduct analyses on a wide variety of economic and business problems: estimates of the market value (or “fair value”) of players’ transfer fees; calculation of the brand value of individuals, teams and leagues; valuation of the economic return from alliances between sponsors; image rights contracts of athletes and teams; and a great deal more.

Igor Lukšič Politična prepričanja med podporniki nogometnih klubov v Sloveniji in tujini Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2016 »Nekateri ljudje verjamejo, da gre pri nogometu za življenje in smrt. Zelo sem razočaran s takšnim odnosom. Lahko vam zagotovim, da je veliko, veliko pomembnejši od tega.« Bill Shankly Zahvaljujem se red. prof. dr. Igorju Lukšiču za mentorstvo pri nastajanju diplomskega dela, družini za vso podporo in zaupanje ter še posebej moji ženi Kseniji, brez katere tega diplomskega dela danes ne bi bilo. Politična prepričanja med podporniki nogometnih klubov v Sloveniji in tujini Navijači predstavljajo pomemben, če ne najpomembnejši del nogometa. So tisti, ki svoje klube delajo velike, saj si brez polnih stadionov, huronskega navijanja in vsega ostalega, kar sodi zraven, ne moremo predstavljati dobre nogometne predstave. Navijači dajejo kuliso nogometni tekmi, s svojo strastjo pomagajo klubu tudi, ko rezultatov ni, ter v blagajne večine nogometnih klubov prispevajo pomemben del prihodkov. V diplomskem delu se bomo posvetili raziskovanju političnega prepričanja med nogometnimi navijači v Sloveniji. Zanimalo nas je predvsem, ali so navijači, ki se opredeljujejo za bolj fanatične, tudi politično bolj skrajno usmerjeni. Poleg tega želimo preveriti, ali so navijači ene nogometne ekipe povezani tudi v politični usmeritvi ali pa jih druži le to, da podpirajo isto nogometno ekipo. V prvem delu bomo predstavili nogometne klube, ki so del tega dela, in raziskave, ki so jih opravili v drugih državah na temo političnega prepričanja nogometnih navijačev.
