British football administrator, Chief Executive of Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are pursuing aggressive recruitment amid mixed 2025-26 seasons. Spurs have spent club-record sums, chasing European qualification under Roberto De Zerbi, while Chelsea have secured Morgan Rogers and are prepped for further signings as they reshape for a return to Europe.
Spaniard Olid has been appointed to replace Marc Skinner as Manchester United Women’s head coach, four weeks before the 2026-27 WSL season. She arrives from Hearts, where she led the SWPL club to a first league title and domestic final. United have moved to a youth-focused recruitment strategy amid a quiet transfer window.
The Brazil international has secured a 2-1 win for Tottenham over Chelsea in a pre-season friendly in Sydney, scoring the 92nd-minute winner after Tottenham were reduced to 10 men. De Zerbi has suggested Richarlison’s future remains uncertain, with Spurs’ transfer activity intensifying this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur have completed a major transfer window, signing Marmoush on a permanent deal and securing Savio in a high-value package from Manchester City. The signings bolster an attack-wide squad as De Zerbi eyes one final addition before the deadline. Kudus could return and Sarr’s departure remains under consideration.
Nottingham Forest and Tottenham played to a 0-0 draw as VAR decisions overshadowed the match. A disallowed Williams goal for handball is at the centre of dispute, with managers and pundits arguing over the consistency and threshold for intervention. A separate incident at Arsenal-Villa also prompts calls for clearer guidelines.
