Poland sack Fernando Santos after 6 games

Fernando Santos has been sacked as Poland manager after 6 games and less than a year in charge.

Poland lost 2-0 in Albania on Sunday, a third defeat in 5 competitive games under Santos, and dropped to 4th in Group E of EURO 2024 qualifying.

The 68-year-old previously managed his native Portugal, winning EURO 2016 and the inaugural Nations League in 2018-2019, but left after the 2022 World Cup.

Poland's next match is a qualifier against the Faroe Islands in October.

A 1-0 friendly win over Germany in June was the high point of Santos' short tenure.

Poland trail Albania, Moldova and the Czech Republic in their European Championship qualification campaign despite entering the group as top seeds.

They can still qualify for the tournament being hosted by neighbours Germany via finishing in the group's top 2, but need other results to go their way.

As things stand, the country would enter the play-offs because of their Nations League standing.

FIFA announces deal with Aramco

FIFA has announced a partnership with Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil company, Aramco.

The deal is in place until 2027, giving Aramco sponsorship rights for the men's World Cup in 2026 and the Women's World Cup the following year.

The company already has sponsorship deals within Formula 1 and is a partner of the International Cricket Council.

The partnership means the Gulf kingdom continues to increase its influence on sport globally.

Saudi Arabia has been accused by critics of investing in sport and using high-profile events to improve its international reputation - a process that has been labelled "sportswashing".

A report published in November 2023 found that there were 312 sponsorship deals from Saudi Arabia across 21 sports.

Can replaces Pavlovic in Germany squad

Bayern Munchen midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic has been replaced by Emre Can in Germany's EURO 2024 squad after being ruled out with tonsillitis.

Pavlovic, 20-year-old, only made his national debut on 3 June during a 0-0 draw with Ukraine but he was named in Julian Nagelsmann's full squad for the tournament.

But he missed Friday's 2-1 win against Greece and has been forced to withdraw from the squad with tonsillitis.

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Emre Can has replaced him.

Can, 30-year-old, has played 43 times for Germany and was chosen as Pavlovic's replacement ahead of Bayern midfielder Leon Goretzka.
