Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos has said he won’t be taking on a coaching role after he retires.


The 34-year-old midfielder, known for his success with both Real Madrid and the German national team, explained his decision in an interview with The Athletic.

“No, I’m not going to be a coach,” Kroos said, even dismissing the idea of joining Carlo Ancelotti’s staff.

He stressed that his decision is primarily based on the extensive travel and time away from home required by coaching.

“It’s not the 90 minutes on the pitch. I could play until I don’t know when if that was all it involved,” Kroos added.

While coaching is off the table, Kroos is open to a potential role as a sporting director. He finds the role appealing because it offers more flexibility and less travel.

“Maybe as a sporting director, you’re a bit freer… but it’s impossible to be a coach.”

Victor Osimhen Warns Doubters: ‘Eni kure, Ogun Will Punish Them’ I don loose respect for Finidi George.

Victor Osimhen, who missed the recent games against South Africa and Benin Republic, expressed his frustration in a live Instagram video, refuting claims made by Finidi and affirming his desire to be with the team during the camp.

He said, “I knew things like these would happen and that’s why I have the videos and screenshots of when I called Finidi while I was with the doctor in Germany.

“I got injured in our (Napoli’s) last game against Lecce and I went to the MRI scan. And I called Finidi there for him to listen to the doctor too.

“I asked Finidi George to allow me stay with the players in the camp, but Finidi asked me not to bother that I should stay with my family.

“I’m not addressing anything, everybody knows I play my heart out whenever I’m playing for the club or national team. I’ll share the screenshot and videos of my conversation with Finidi for the sake of those believing what Finidi said.

“I’ve lost respect for that man because before I disrespect anybody, I always respect them.

“Now after two bad games, everybody is now blaming me.

I know how many injuries I’ve played with for Nigeria and I played my heart out but after two bad games, everybody is attacking me.”

Real Madrid Holds Meeting Amid Kylian Mbappé R@pe Allegations

The French star, who denies the allegations, was visiting Sweden with friends from Wednesday to Friday last week, staying at the Bank Hotel in the city center.

On Monday, Mbappe called a report from Aftonbladet, a Swedish newspaper, “fake news” about an alleged rape at the hotel that took place on Thursday evening.

However, another Swedish newspaper, Expressen, later claimed that Mbappe was being investigated by police after allegations were made against him.

According to French journalist Romain Molina, Real Madrid held a crisis meeting about the allegations on Monday evening.

The Spanish team returns to play on Saturday against Celta Vigo in La Liga, and it remains to be seen whether Mbappe will be involved. Real Madrid has not publicly commented on the matter.

Meanwhile, Mbappe’s representatives told AFP in a statement: “Today, a new slanderous rumor is starting to spread across the web from the Swedish media Aftonbladet.

‘These accusations are completely false and irresponsible, and their propagation is unacceptable.

‘In order to put an end to this methodical destruction of (the) image (of Kylian Mbappe), all necessary legal actions will be taken to re-establish the truth and pursue any person or media involved in the moral harassment and defamatory treatment that Kylian Mbappe is suffering repeatedly,’ the statement added.

Detectives and a forensics team were at the alleged crime scene on Monday, according to Aftonbladet.

The newspaper reported that the alarm about the alleged r@pe was raised when the woman sought medical attention at a local hospital.

Former Super Eagles Star Criticizes Osimhen Following Social Media Outburst

Osimhen criticized Finidi George in an Instagram live video before George resigned as the Super Eagles head coach.

Peterside expressed his disappointment with Osimhen’s behavior and called on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to address such actions to prevent them in the future.

He said, “I think action should be taken, or he should be banned from playing for the national team. If we allow this kind of thing to continue, it would not augur well for Nigeria. The men who have served and given everything to our great country. So sanity must be brought to our football.”

Peterside additionally called on Osimhen to apologize for his actions.

“He (Osimhen) needs to come outside and apologize for the things he said to Finidi, Peterside said on social media.

“Finidi George is a legend, You don’t just widen your mouth and say things that are unpalatable. If you have issues with the man, pick up your phone and call him. That’s what responsible people do.

“Osimhen has just shown a bit of irresponsibility, and that’s unexpected. I think the NFF should call Osimhen and ask him to apologize. He has to apologize for saying things.”

“Our national team is sacred; days when we wore the jersey, we respected it, and people that went before us. He’s not the first, and neither would he be the last. He should come out openly and apologize openly to former footballers, NFF, Finidi, and Nigerians.”

“We both moved on with our lives. In the meantime, Maite came along.

“We decided to do a DNA test, and Maite is not Vinicius’ daughter.
