Gus Poyet could be forgiven for thinking this managerial lark is a piece of cake – birthday cake perhaps. The Brighton manager, in his first game as a No1 following spells behind the scenes with Dennis Wise at Leeds and Juande Ramos at Tottenham, watched his side score three glorious goals here yesterday to secure a crucial win, their first over their south-coast neighbours since 1981. "I'm...

The young Barcelona coach has quietly turned a team of underachievers into world-beaters Pep Guardiola sits in the Barcelona dressing room listening, rapt, to some harpsichord variations by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Last autumn it was the turn of Juande Ramos to be burnt at the stake.Well, Avram Grant's corpse had been licked clean, so we needed a new heretic. By Christmas Phil Scolari was sitting on the ducking school. Come the summer, when Arsene Wenger sold two stars to Manchester City, he was dragged into the stocks. And now Rafa Benitez lays on the rack, flames licking around his tootsies.That's a recent...

Following the ill-fated reigns of Zico and Juande Ramos, CSKA Moscow finally believe they have the right man in charge ahead of tonight's game at Old Trafford In retrospect, CSKA Moscow's decision to appoint Zico always seemed doomed, for it broke two immutable laws. The first is that Brazilian coaches (with the exception of Otto Glória at Benfica in the 1950s) are never successful in European...

One more win will be enough for United to clinch the first place in the group and Sir Alex Ferguson’s men want to achieve it in this match. CSKA gave them a tough time in Russia and we expect a very similar game to that in Moscow, especially since the Army Men need something from this match in order to remain in contention for the second place in the group. United back in business It didn’t...
