LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Manchester United are expected to officially announce the dismissal of Michael Carrick within the next 48 hours, before subsequently confirming the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino.

According to BBC Sport, there are no longer any doubts. A meeting scheduled to take place in the coming hours between CEO Omar Berrada, sporting director Jason Wilcox and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is expected to result in the dismissal of the current manager, who is paying the price for a disastrous Premier League campaign, with United sitting second from bottom in the table after collecting just eight points from 10 matches.

His successor will be the former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain manager. However, United must first secure his release from his contract with the United States Soccer Federation by triggering his release clause of 10 million dollars, approximately 9 million euros.

An agreement between United and the Argentine coach is reportedly already in place, but time is running short, as the United States are preparing for a two-legged tie against Haiti (November 14 and 18) in the Concacaf Nations League quarter-finals.

When the Premier League resumes, United will travel to face Liverpool, and Pochettino could already be in the dugout.

ROME (ITALPRESS) – Following Pierre Kalulu and Marcus Thuram, France head coach Zinédine Zidane will also have to do without Aurélien Tchouaméni. The 26-year-old Real Madrid midfielder was unable to complete Tuesday’s training session at Clairefontaine. Due to a pubic issue, the former Monaco player has been forced to withdraw from this training camp and will therefore not be available for Thursday’s Nations League match against Italy in Milan. Tchouaméni had already missed the September-October camp, as Zidane deemed him not yet ready, given that he had only recently returned from an adductor injury sustained during the World Cup in the United States.

RABAT (MOROCCO) (ITALPRESS) – Broad international support for the autonomy plan for the Sahara under Moroccan sovereignty emerged during a debate at the United Nations General Assembly. The Assembly met on November 10 to examine the veto cast by Russia on October 30 against a U.S.-sponsored resolution to renew the mandate of MINURSO—a resolution that had been supported by eleven members of the Security Council. The session highlighted a significant diplomatic convergence around the Moroccan proposal, which many countries view as the most realistic and viable solution to end a dispute that has persisted for over fifty years. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz reiterated Washington’s full support for the Moroccan plan, describing it as the only feasible path toward a lasting peace and dismissing the prospect of a referendum as unrealistic. The European Union, represented by Stavros Lambrinidis, also emphasized that genuine autonomy constitutes a more realistic solution. Speaking for France, Ambassador Jérôme Bonnafont reaffirmed that the present and future of Western Sahara lie within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty, identifying the 2007 autonomy plan as the sole basis for a political solution. Strong support was also voiced by countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council and several African states, including Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, and Madagascar. Meanwhile, the Nordic countries expressed regret over the Russian veto, pointing to the risks it poses to regional stability. Russia defended its decision, while Algeria, South Africa, Namibia, and East Timor maintained a distinct minority position in favor of an independence referendum—a stance that contrasts with the growing international support for the Moroccan proposal. Numerous delegations also commended Morocco’s commitment to upholding the ceasefire and cooperating with the United Nations following the expiration of the MINURSO mandate. The debate thus confirmed the consolidation of a broad diplomatic front in favor of the Moroccan autonomy plan, reinforcing its centrality as a framework for a definitive political solution, notwithstanding the Russian veto.

NEW YORK (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – In the coming weeks—likely as early as January—FIFA President Gianni Infantino is expected to respond to summonses from the U.S. Congress, according to a report by The Telegraph. Amid his campaign for re-election as head of the international governing body—with the vote set for March 18 in Rabat, Morocco—the Italian-Swiss official will be called upon to provide potentially incriminating evidence. Since July, the powerful House Judiciary Committee has been investigating ties between Infantino and President Donald Trump, a probe that coincides with a sweeping victory for the Democrats in the U.S. midterm elections. The two have made numerous joint appearances since Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025. Last December, the FIFA chief even presented the tycoon with the first-ever “Peace Award” established by the global football organization.

However, new revelations from “The Telegraph” have fueled further suspicions: Infantino allegedly urged Carlos Cordeiro—his trusted intermediary with the U.S. administration—to help secure a work permit for an immigrant domestic worker employed at his luxury residence in Miami. FIFA, maintaining that the president personally covered the costs associated with his domestic staff, rejects any allegations of wrongdoing. This has prompted the need for the Congress to gain further clarity on the matter.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – A 45-year-old Moroccan man has been remanded in custody after being accused of importing around 1.5 kilogrammes of suspected cannabis resin into Malta, concealed in capsules inside his stomach.

Adim El Habib appeared before Magistrate Abigail Critien, charged with importing the drugs on 8 November and on previous days, or associating himself with others to commit the offence.

Police told the court that intelligence had linked the man to a suspected drug trafficking network. Investigations revealed that he had travelled from Morocco to Spain before continuing his journey to Malta.

After receiving information that he would be arriving on a flight from Madrid, police carried out checks on passengers, leading to his arrest.

Medical scans conducted at Mater Dei Hospital subsequently revealed approximately 150 capsules inside the man’s stomach. The capsules contained around 1.5kg of suspected cannabis resin, with an estimated street value of €30,000.

Magistrate Philip Galea Farrugia was informed of the case and opened a magisterial inquiry, appointing several experts to assist in the investigation.

During proceedings, El Habib told the court that he works as a vegetable vendor and has a residence in Spain, but none in Malta.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges. No request for bail was made, and the court ordered that he be remanded in custody.

LENS (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – Yannick Cahuzac’s spell in charge of Lens has already come to an end. The coach, who took over in September, has paid the price for the team’s poor results, following their home defeat to Marseille and, above all, their shocking 9-1 home loss to Como in the Champions League, with Cesc Fabregas’ side claiming a resounding victory.

According to L’Équipe, the club is considering the possible return of Pierre Sage, who is reportedly close to being dismissed by Crystal Palace.

Cahuzac took over on September 21, replacing Dino Toppmöller, who had been sacked following a 2-1 defeat against Monaco.
