Future in focus for star managers, Balotelli after weekend around Europe
There was an FA Cup shock that made front-page news, but the biggest story in England continues to revolve around the future of Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager.
It’s been a week for managers above all: a similar tale, though one with more trophies involved, is playing out at Barcelona, whose Champions League defeat might spell the end for Luis Enrique. Bayern Munich needed a late late goal to salvage a point at Hertha Berlin while a return to the bench for Zdenek Zeman helped Pescara to an astonishing first legitimate win of the season. In France, time is ticking on the career of Mario Balotelli who was sent off again for Nice.
