French start-up Withings is to return to its founder for an undisclosed sum.

Seven years after ending a modest playing career the Portuguese is about to embark on a sixth managerial job It is easy to see why Everton identified Marco Silva as their ideal head coach last October but less easy to understand why they persisted in doing so after his time at Watford unravelled in off-pitch acrimony and on-pitch chaos. The manner in which his performance in Hertfordshire went from immaculate to inadequate must at the very least have made what might once have been a straightforward decision significantly more complicated. Everton will believe they have the status to keep Silva’s ego satisfied for a bit longer than the two months and nine matches that separated his first game with the Hornets from the decision that he could do better . The coach’s history certainly suggests that what follows is likely to be fun as well as dramatic.

Management is about making decisions, and the decisions made by former members of England’s golden generation have generally looked dodgy from the start. Gary Neville opted to begin his career as a gaffer at a struggling club in a country where he couldn’t understand a word of what anyone said, and Steven Gerrard has gone and done the same . Silly old Sol Campbell, meanwhile, went and got himself all badged up without realising there is something about him that seems to make many potential employers consider him unworthy of becoming a peer of Steve Evans and Joseph Barton .

• Portuguese takes over from Sam Allardyce at Goodison Park • Silva was a target for Everton last autumn when at Watford Everton have appointed Marco Silva as their new manager with the 40-year-old’s commitment to “attractive, attacking football” convincing the club he is the right man to replace Sam Allardyce. Silva signed a three-year contract with the Goodison Park club on Thursday having been the first choice of Farhad Moshiri, Everton’s major shareholder, to succeed Allardyce since his sacking just over a fortnight ago. Moshiri had wanted the Portuguese coach to succeed Ronald Koeman in October but Watford rejected Everton’s advances for their new manager and potential compensation of over £10m. Watford then sacked Silva in January, blaming an “unwarranted approach” for a loss of focus and downturn in results.

• Swiss supreme court clears Peru captain to play in Russia • Court of Arbitration for Sport says it will not object The captain of Peru has been cleared by a Swiss supreme court judge to play at the World Cup, despite a doping ban. Paolo Guerrero tested positive for a metabolite of cocaine at a World Cup qualifying game against Argentina in October. He argued the stimulant had not been performance enhancing and was accidentally consumed in contaminated tea. Switzerland’s supreme court said it has granted an interim order to freeze Guerrero’s 14-month ban for a positive test. “Paolo Guerrero can take part in the next World Cup,” the court said.

It’s hard to recreate the magic of the first World Cup you remember, no matter how many times older fans tell you the tournament had more charm back in their day. Italia 90 was so dull that it led to the new back-pass law but, start talking about great World Cups to fans in their late 30s, and you’ll hear about Gazza, Pavarotti and Totò Schillaci. So what that the tournament has the lowest goals-per-game ratio in World Cup history.

It is a great reminder of other footballers who do not need to put any effort into the local twang, such as Peter Lovenkrands , Jan Molby and Vincent Kompany . And speaking of people being nice, here are lots of Liverpool fans being nice to Steven Gerrard . 2) Nigeria are coming to Wembley on Saturday as both teams get ready for the World Cup, so it’s only right we remember when they made their mark on the global game .

Today’s fluff is flying... José Mourinho was spotted watching this week’s friendly between Russia and Austria, and that immediately set tongues wagging about which player, in particular, he was interested in. Since Kevin Wimmer didn’t start and has just agreed to flee Stoke for Hannover, anyway, the obvious answer is David Alaba , who is gifted and versatile enough to solve at least three of Manchester United’s problem positions. But the word from more enlightened sources is that Mourinho was, in fact, running the rule of Marko Arnautovic , whose strength and spikiness makes him more palatable to Mourinho than callow youths such as Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. West Ham’s owners are not keen to sell Arnautovic but it is believed that they would be prepared to let him go in return for around £50m and the promise of a few thousand more followers on twitter.

The Arsenal forward has scored more goals for England than anyone else in Gareth Southgate’s squad and is ready to make an impact at the World Cup after missing Euro 2016 There might be quite a few people who are surprised to learn the identity of the player in Gareth Southgate’s squad who will be going to Russia for the World Cup as the leading scorer within the England setup. But here’s a clue: it is not Harry Kane. Or not yet, anyway. Perhaps this might also be an appropriate moment to point out that Danny Welbeck – one of the players who regularly seems to get the pitchfork treatment on social media – has managed more goals in England’s colours than Jamie Vardy, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford put together. Fifteen, in total, from 37 appearances, though on only 10 occasions has he has played the full 90 minutes. Kane is next in line, with 12 goals from 23 caps (13 full appearances). Nobody else is in double figures and it is worth bearing in mind that four different England m...

• Ex-PFA chair says England player’s tattoo is his own business • ‘Why not let the guy go about his work in peace?’ Clarke Carlisle, the former chairman of the Professional Footballers’ Association, believes the c riticism of Raheem Sterling’s tattoo of an M16 assault rifle is “unfair” and has called for the England forward to be left in peace as he prepares for next month’s World Cup. Sterling, who is training with Gareth Southgate’s squad before England’s first warm-up match against Nigeria at Wembley on Saturday, featured on the Sun’s front page for a second day in a row on Wednesday despite his explanation that the symbol had been chosen as a tribute to his father, who was murdered in Jamaica when the Manchester City player was two years old.

After all, he’s not exactly the first keeper to make a howling mistake in the biggest game of his life. There’s Sven Ulreich only last month in the Big Cup semi-finals . Oliver Khan in the 2002 World Cup final . Peter Bonetti at Mexico 70 . And the Fiver’s personal favourite, Laurent Di Lorto, in goal for France against Italy in the quarter-finals of the 1938 World Cup, volleyballing a soft shot into his net, then running beak-first into the post . At least Loris didn’t suffer that slapstick indignity upon spiking Gareth Bale’s exploratory waft into the onion bag last Saturday. Then again, Laurent only made the one career-defining error during the 90 minutes. And he was never captured on film shanking a goal kick out for a corner, either. Hmm, this defence of Liverpool’s custodian isn’t going so well, is it. But...

Bates suggested the reason for “all these ancient coming-outs so many years later” was because “the sniff of money is in the air” and said those in question should have found other clubs if the racism they allegedly encountered at Stamford Bridge, from the age of 11 onwards, was so upsetting.

Only John Ruddy kept more clean sheets than his 22. Right-back: Ryan Fredericks (Fulham) His athleticism was key in transforming defence into attack. Brimming with energy, he has been a three-in-one figurine, adventurous and efficient in both boxes; a modern touchline-hugging full-back.

There are so many brilliant players in each position, and that means some great players will miss out. My team is set up in a super offensive formation. We might concede a lot of goals, but we would score so many more. In fact, I can guarantee five goals every game! The best form of defence is to have the ball.
