Only 6 managers have ever won domestic leagues in 4 different countries. Only 5 managers ever have won the European Cup with 2 different clubs. Only 3 names feature in both these lists – Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Ernst Happel.
Born in Vienna in 1925, Happel made his debut aged 17 for local club Rapid Wien. Over the years he would establish himself as a club legend, winning 6 titles and 1 Austrian Cup until his retirement in 1959. In between he would also finish 3rd with Austria in the 1954 World Cup.
Remembering Jean-Pierre Adams, the former French footballer whose life was tragically impaled by medical negligence.

Adams passed away 3 days ago in Nimes, France, where he had been in a comatose state for over 39 years. Upon the news of his death, tributes poured in from all over France.
Born in Dakar, Senegal in March 1948, Adams was raised by a devout Catholic family, who prioritized his education above anything else. With this aim, they sent a 9 yr old Adams to Loiret, France, where he could pursue high quality education while being fostered by a local family.

Beatlemania, Miguel Muñoz & Spanish league domination. [THREAD]
#PausaHistoria
1959, Beatlemania was about to take Europe by storm. In Madrid, Miguel Muñoz – ex-Real Madrid player & captain of the club not too long ago was preparing to take over full-time managerial duties after a short stint with the academy.
The faith that club president Santiago Bernabéu showed in Muñoz was very unusual. Bernabéu had sacked 13 managers in 17 years, including during the era in which the team was winning the European cup yearly.

Simferopol is the 2nd largest city in the Crimean peninsula. It was named by Russian Empress Catherine the Great in 1784. The name comes from Greek as Συμφερόπολις (Simferopolis) and translates to “the city of usefulness”, highlighting its strategic importance.
In 1958, the city witnessed the birth of a football club named Avanhard Simferopol. Around 5 yrs later, it was renamed to Tavriya Simferopol. Their time would be spent between the Soviet Union’s 1st and 2nd divisions in the years to come with them winning the 2nd division in 1980

1962 – India and China fight a bloody war. It’s also the year Jakarta, Indonesia hosts the 4th edition of the Asian Games. Sound like two very unrelated things, right?
However it’s not so. Politics affecting sporting events is not a rare thing and the 1962 games were no exception. Indonesia had barred the participation of Israel and Taiwan as they considered themselves the allies of China and the Muslim countries in the Middle East.

Just days ago, Deportivo La Coruña were due to face Fuenlabrada but a number of covid +ve cases from the Madrid side meant that the match had to be postponed. The Federation allowed the other games to go ahead & wins for both Albacete and Lugo sent Deportivo down to the 3rd div.
While the Dépor fans today are pained by what’s going on at the club right now, a lot of that pain has been built up over years of contemplating “what could have been”. Because for some time, Dépor were not just any team but THE TEAM in Spain.

11 March 2011, a few days before the J-League season is due to start, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hits the towns of Okuma and Futaba where the Daiichi nuclear power plant is located. Winds blowing to the north and east prevent a major calamity from reaching the capital, Tokyo.
It instead affects only 20-30 kilometres in and around the coastal towns of Okuma & Futaba. Nearly 15,000 people lose their lives and more than 300,000 are forced to evacuate & abandon their homes and become refugees, finally resettling in government-built shelters.
