A managerial edition of our daily transfer roundup

As you can see, Franz Beckenbauer and Jurgen Klinsmann used to be in love. After last night’s humiliation, however, things aren’t so rosey…

The Dutchman is riding high in the Bundesliga, but has hinted he would like to return to the Premier League. “I still have my house in England, so if there is a good opportunity, I will certainly think about it,” he says.
