Atalanta announced the arrival of Raffaele Palladino as coach on Tuesday, following on from the sacking of Ivan Juric.The 2024 Europa League winners said in a statement the former Italian international had signed a contract until June 30, 2027. Palladino, 41, cut his coaching teeth at Monza, first with the youth teams before taking charge of the first team in 2022 and competing in two seasons in the top flight. <div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>He then joined Fiorentina, finishing sixth in Serie A before surprisingly departing last July after only one season in charge. Palladino arrives at a club that has not recovered from the departure of its iconic coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who left in the close-season after nine years in Bergamo to join Roma. Struggling Atalanta have won only four matches this campaign -- two in Serie A and two in the Champions League -- out of a total of 15 played. In the league, they have lost two games in a row and lounge in 13th place after 11 rounds, with only six points separating them from the relegation zone. Atalanta said in a statement that Juric and his coaching staff had all been dismissed on Monday as they became the fourth Serie A club to change coach this season after Juventus, Genoa and Fiorentina.

Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso on Monday called for "maximum commitment" from his side as the Azzurri's bid to qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup is no longer in their hands.Italy play away in Moldova on Thursday and host Norway in Milan on Sunday. The Italians are second in Group I three points behind leaders Norway."This won't be a simple outing; I want to see maximum commitment to continue what we started in September," Gattuso told a pre-match press conference. <div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>"Against Moldova, we'll try out players who haven't had much playing time, but we have to think about ourselves and not about what Norway will do," he continued. "The match against Moldova is the most important because the one against Norway is easier to prepare for. We know that this Norwegian team can cause us problems, with their speed, their physical presence, their exceptional style of football," the former AC Milan and Napoli coach said.Italy failed to reach the last two World Cup tournaments. They are guaranteed to reach the play-offs as second in their group.And they can still mathematically finish first, and qualify directly for the next World Cup in north America, by beating Moldova and Norway. However, they would need to win by scoring a lot of goals in each match to overtake Norway, who have a significantly better goal difference. Gattuso will be without Fiorentina striker Moise Kean, who has scored six goals in his last four appearances for the national team, and was injured while playing for his club.Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa has decided against playing for Italy during the November break. Chiesa has not played for the Italy national team since the 2024 Euros.Since succeeding Luciano Spalletti, who was dismissed after the 3-0 defeat in Oslo in early June, Gattuso has revitalised Italy, who have now racked up four consecutive wins with 16 goals scored. The former AC Milan star also clarified that the training camp initially considered to prepare for the playoffs at the end of March could not take place "due to a lack of available slots in the schedule". "It's up to us to do our best by scouting players both in Italy and abroad," he added.

Sanchez nodded home at the back post after he was left completely unmarked, to become the first player to score against Diego Simeone's side in four league matches.The coach sent on Atletico talisman Griezmann just after the hour mark and the 34-year-old made an impact just a few seconds later.Griezmann tapped home from close range after Marcos Llorente cut the ball back for him to give Atletico the lead once more.Goduine Koyalipou came close to an equaliser for Levante but Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak made a fine save to keep out his header.Griezmann grabbed his second with 10 minutes remaining after Ryan denied Julian Alvarez but the loose ball sat up nicely for the French forward to lunge in and turn over the line.Levante's Carlos Alvarez curled home a low free-kick in stoppage time but the goal was ruled out for offside against Matias Moreno who tried to kick it just in front of Oblak.

Arsenal's 10-game winning run in all competitions was ended by Brian Brobbey's stoppage-time equaliser that salvaged a 2-2 draw for Sunderland on Saturday.The Gunners had not conceded for eight games before Saturday but could only extend their lead at the top of the Premier League over Manchester City, who host Liverpool on Sunday, to seven points.Dan Ballard ended the Gunners' run of clean sheets since September 28 to fire the Black Cats in front.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Victory would have lifted newly-promoted Sunderland into second, but thunderous finishes from Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard turned the game around for Mikel Arteta's men in the second half.They could not close out a vital three points, however, as Brobbey outmuscled the normally imperious Gabriel Magalhaes to hook in Ballard's flick on.Arsenal dropping points is a welcome boost for their title rivals ahead of their showdown at the Etihad on Sunday.City and Liverpool have dominated the English top flight over the past decade and both sides would have been heartened by rare signs of cracks in Arsenal's facade.Liverpool sit fifth, now eight points off the top."We conceded two similar goals, which is not good enough for ourselves," said Arteta."But it's true that the team showed an incredible resilience and courage to come back from that result, to score the equaliser, to score the second one that we were pushing for, and, even at the end after we concede the goal, we have a massive chance as well to win it."I can only be proud of the team."Sunderland went into the match unbeaten at the Stadium of Light on their return to the top flight and their physical approach unsettled the visitors.Former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka relished the challenge of trying to knock the visitors and his old team-mates off their stride.<h3>Ballard heroics</h3>The league leaders have relied on their strength from set pieces to catapult themselves into pole position for a first league title in 22 years.Yet, this time they were the ones to concede from a free-kick.Ballard blasted into the roof of the net beyond David Raya to open the scoring on 36 minutes after bursting onto Nordi Mukiele's header."It's a good morale boost to show we can go against a really top team - probably one of the best in Europe at the minute," said Ballard, who began his career at Arsenal."But it is just one point and we've got a lot of work to do to achieve our goal of staying up this year."Arsenal emerged a more purposeful attacking threat in the second period.Rice robbed Enzo Le Fee in midfield to begin the move for the equaliser before Mikel Merino teed up Saka, who fired low and hard past Robin Roefs on his weaker right foot.Martin Zubimendi hit the bar as the Arsenal pressure mounted and eventually told in spectacular fashion on 74 minutes.Trossard used the decoy run of Riccardo Calafiori to open up space on the edge of the box before unleashing a drive into the top corner.Sunderland showed the spirit that has seen them get off to a flying start to their first Premier League campaign in eight years.Ballard beat Zubimendi to a cross into the box and Brobbey showed a combination of strength and skill to hold off Gabriel and hook the ball beyond Raya.There was still time for more heroics from Ballard as he blocked Merino's goalbound effort after Roefs parried Calafiori's header.A point takes Sunderland level with City and above Liverpool and Tottenham.

Ruben Amorim said Manchester United are "in the beginning of becoming a very strong team" after extending their unbeaten run to five Premier League games with a dramatic 2-2 draw at Tottenham.The Red Devils looked set to go second in the table as they led through Bryan Mbeumo's first-half header for nearly an hour.However, Spurs struck twice in seven minutes to turn the game on its head through Mathys Tel and Richarlison.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Despite going down to 10 men as Benjamin Sesko limped off after Amorim had made his five allotted substitutions, the visitors still fought back to rescue a point through Matthijs de Ligt's towering header in the 96th minute.Amorim praised his side's resilience, but believes they should have gone on to win after bossing the first half."During the game you feel that the three points were there," said the Portuguese."If you look to the game and if you feel the environment, we have so much to grow as a team because today was our day to win this game."Amorim added: "If we have um a a little bit more bravery, we can kill this game."A share of the points leaves United down in seventh and they could even drop out of the top half before the end of the weekend if other results go against them.But Amorim sees progress during his longest unbeaten streak since taking charge at Old Trafford just over a year ago."I understand that this is just the tip of the iceberg. We are just in the beginning of becoming a very strong team, so we have a lot to do," he said."We believe in our capacity to score goals until the last minute and we did that."

Matthijs de Ligt salvaged a 2-2 draw for Manchester United at Tottenham in a frantic finale as both sides missed the chance to go second in the Premier League on Saturday.Spurs looked to have secured a dramatic victory, having trailed with six minutes to go, as Mathys Tel equalised before Richarlison headed home in the 91st minute.However, De Ligt powered in a 96th minute header to extend United's unbeaten run to five games.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>"Luckily we got a point, I think we deserved more the way we played," De Ligt told TNT Sports."I'm proud of how the team fought back and got a point at a difficult stadium."Both sides move onto 18 points from 11 games but goal difference separates Spurs in third from United in seventh.The Red Devils have now failed to beat Spurs in their previous eight meetings, including a 1-0 defeat in the Europa League final in May.As a result, Spurs qualified for the Champions League, while United missed out on European football altogether.Despite the huge blow to the United's finances and prestige, Ruben Amorim is making the most of having more time on the training field to finally build some momentum after a tough first year at Old Trafford.Unlike most of United's big money signings in recent years, Bryan Mbeumo has proved his worth since a £65 million ($86 million) move from Brentford in July. The Cameroonian was named Premier League player of the month for October and took his tally to four goals in as many games when he headed in from Amad Diallo's cross on 32 minutes.<h3>Spurs come to life</h3>Spurs were booed off after a woeful attacking display in losing a London derby 1-0 to Chelsea last weekend.After another dreary first 45 minutes, the hosts came to life early in the second period.Senne Lammens produced a brilliant stop to turn Cristian Romero's flick behind.The Belgian goalkeeper was quickly called into action again to parry Joao Palhinha's effort.Brennan Johnston, who scored the winner when the sides last met in Bilbao, was then denied an equaliser by the offside flag.Tottenham's burst of attacking threat quickly fizzled out, though, and discontent among the home fans with manager Thomas Frank showed when his decision to replace Xavi Simons was roundly booed.However, the Spurs boss can claim his changes turned the game around.Destiny Udogie crossed for fellow substitute Tel to turn and fire into the top corner via a deflection off De Ligt.Wilson Odobert, introduced off the bench at half-time, then curled a shot towards the far corner that Richarlison flicked in to leave Lammens helpless."I take a lot of positives out of this performance," said Frank. "There is definitely something to build on, but we want to do so much better."Richarlison tore off his shirt and was reduced to tears in his celebration.Yet, it still was not enough to earn Tottenham a first home league win since the opening weekend of the season.De Ligt was offered too much space at the back post from Bruno Fernandes' corner and his header was too powerful for Guglielmo Vicario.

Serie A strugglers Genoa on Thursday named Daniele De Rossi as coach to replace Patrick Vieira, who left the club at the weekend.Genoa said in a brief statement that it was "extending a warm welcome to Daniele De Rossi", who was to lead an afternoon training session.He will hold his first press conference on Friday.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Genoa were winless in Serie A when Vieira agreed to leave on Saturday morning, but Roberto Murgita and under-17 coach Domenico Criscito led the club to a 2-1 win at Sassuolo on Monday night that lifted them off the bottom of the table.Rossi, a rugged midfielder who won the World Cup with Italy in 2006, played 17 seasons for his home-town club Roma and won 117 Italy caps. He had brief stints as a coach at second-vision Spal, where he lasted 17 games in 2022 and then 30 at Roma.He took Roma to the 2024 Europa League semi-final but was fired after four winless games at the start of the following season.Last week, Genoa also sacked sporting director Marco Ottolini and have replaced him with Spaniard Diego Lopez.

Leroy Sane has been recalled and Said El Mala received a first call-up to Germany's 25-man squad for the November World Cup qualifiers, coach Julian Nagelsmann announced Thursday. El Mala, 19, was named despite playing just nine Bundesliga games. Promoted with Cologne in the summer, El Mala has four goals in the Bundesliga this season.Newcastle defender Malick Thiaw was also recalled after a two-year absence, while Brentford forward Kevin Schade was named for the first time since 2024.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Four players -- Robert Andrich, Robin Koch, Angelo Stiller and Maximilian Beier -- were dropped from the October squad. The former Manchester City and Bayern Munich winger Sane, who moved to Turkish side Galatasaray in the summer, last played for Germany in June.

Several first-team players are still missing with injury for Germany. Forwards Kai Havertz, Jamal Musiala, Niclas Fullkrug and Tim Kleindienst are out while goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen and defender Antonio Rudiger are also on the sidelines.

Slovakia are level with Germany on nine points in Group A, with Nagelsmann's side narrowly sitting atop the group on goal difference.
