A hugely noteworthy occurrence as SvFF has never before fired a sitting manager. Olle Nordin left his position after losing every game of the 1990 World Cup, but he wasn't technically fired. His contract was out after the world cup, and while SvFF had agreed to extend it before the World Cup they merely changed their mind before pen was on paper.

Paris (AFP) – A senior Japan Football Association official has been sentenced to an 18-month suspended jail term in France after viewing images of child sexual abuse during a plane journey, a court official said Tuesday.

Masanaga Kageyama, the association's technical director, was arrested last week during a stopover at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris on the way to Chile to attend the Under-20 World Cup, according to Le Parisien newspaper.

"The facts were discovered by the plane's flight crew, who raised the alarm after noticing that the convicted man was viewing child pornography images on the plane," the court prosecutor's office in Bobigny, north of Paris, told AFP.

The court sentenced the 58-year-old on Monday to a suspended jail term of 18 months and a fine of 5,000 euros ($5,830) for importing, possessing, recording or saving pornographic images of a minor under the age of 15.

His sentence includes a ban on working with minors for 10 years and a ban on returning to France for the next decade.

Kageyama will also be added to the French national sex offenders' register.

The football association (JFA) said in a statement his contract would be terminated with immediate effect.

"The JFA sees this as a deeply regrettable matter and offers sincere apologies for the concern and disruption caused," the association said.

In a news conference in Tokyo, JFA general secretary Kazuyuki Yukawa said: "Football is one part of society. Something like this cannot happen. We must all work together to ensure there is thorough compliance and guidance."

He said Kageyama had not yet returned to Japan and was believed to still be in France.

Le Parisien reported that flight attendants caught Kageyama looking at the images on his laptop in the business class cabin of an Air France flight.

He claimed the photos were art and had been generated by artificial intelligence.

The report said that during his court appearance he admitted viewing the images, that he did not realise it was illegal in France and that he was ashamed.

He was held in police custody over the weekend until his court appearance on Monday. He was released after the hearing.

Kageyama was responsible for implementing measures to strengthen Japan's football teams including the national team, as well as educating coaches and nurturing youth players.

He was a professional J-League footballer himself and also coached several J-League clubs. He had also managed Japan's Under-20 team.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is out of Norway's squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers after injuring his left knee against West Ham United. The midfielder was forced to leave the pitch before half-time for the third consecutive Premier League game, becoming the first player in the league's history to do so. Declan Rice was also substituted in the 79th minute with a back issue.

A medical update from the club read: "Martin Odegaard has been withdrawn from the Norway national team for their upcoming matches against Israel and New Zealand after sustaining a medial collateral ligament injury to his left knee during the first half in Saturday’s win over West Ham United.

"Martin will continue to be assessed and treated by our medical team at Sobha Realty Training Centre during the international window, with the aim of a return to action as soon as possible."

In the aftermath of his 200th win as Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers was unequivocal about the unconvincing standard of his team's displays during their start to the season.

"We're nowhere near our level, I can be clear on that," he told BBC Scotland after his side came from behind to beat Motherwell in stoppage time to settle a five-goal Scottish Premiership thriller.

"Clearly it's a very important win for us," he said. "The players showed an unbelievable amount of heart.

"We showed a real strong mentality and real competitive grit. Even though we're not at our levels we've shown in the past, you still have to win."

“We are travelling down a completely unknown path. As I keep saying, this will be the most difficult season for us because we have to play in the Champions League, and last year we didn’t play any other competition, not even a small cup,” Conte told DAZN via TuttoNapoli.

“I didn’t have a squad that was properly structured to handle these commitments. Compared to other teams, which are already well tested and well structured, with a well-oiled mechanism that has steadily improved over the years, we found ourselves facing a totally new situation with a group of players who, as I keep repeating, last year had a very limited squad.”

“When you bring in nine new players, it means that time and patience are needed,” Conte added.

“Also, many of them are perhaps not ready yet. They still need to get up to speed and fit into certain dynamics.”

Conte initially benched Kevin De Bruyne and changed the system, returning to a 4-3-3 formation with Politano, David Neres and Rasmus Hojlund up front.

“This was the very first time they started together. One of them in particular worked very hard, though he’s not yet used to producing decisive plays,” Conte said.

“Today, it was as if the engine was a bit clogged. Matteo [Politano] came from a tough stretch of matches, even though he was substituted around the 70th minute in every game; perhaps he got to the game a bit tired,” Conte said.

“He felt some muscle fatigue, so I don’t want to get into dynamics that aren’t mine to discuss. Since I’ve been a national team coach myself, I have great respect for the national side and everything related to it. The doctors will speak to each other and assess the situation.

“Lobotka basically slipped on the pitch. His knee twisted open, and he felt a sharp pain around the groin and adductor area. He also needs to be assessed.”

“I repeat. This will be a complex season. At the same time. We must have the spirit to face it because I’m convinced this season will serve as a foundation for the future. We are building from scratch; there were no foundations before.”

The 39-year-old's final match was the 1-1 draw at Falkirk on Sunday, following which he was given a police escort away from the stadium after fans tried to stop the team bus leaving.

Martin had faced mounting criticism and protests from Ibrox supporters amid a poor start to the season.

It took Rangers until late September to win in the Scottish Premiership and the club were humiliated 9-1 on aggregate by Club Brugge in the Champions League play-offs in August.

As the domestic season enters its second international break, Rangers are eighth in the Premiership and trail leaders Hearts by 11 points.

Assistant Matt Gill and first-team coach Mike Williamson will also exit.

Rangers' statement added: "Russell and his staff have worked exceptionally hard throughout their time at the club. We thank them for their efforts and wish them well for the future.

"Further updates from the club will follow in due course."

Barcelona's embarrassing 4-1 defeat at Sevilla on Sunday means Real Madrid are currently leading LaLiga and have all of the momentum ahead of the international break. The team coached by Hansi Flick lost their opportunity to be at the top of the standings heading into the second international break of the season, looking inconsistent in the process. After eight league games, Real Madrid are leading with a two-point margin on Barcelona after Flick's first defeat of the LaLiga season and the second one in a row after the Champions League loss against PSG, 2-1, that took place on Wednesday. The two Spanish giants will meet for the first time this season later this month, on Oct. 26, for what will become a key clash for the title race.

On Sunday, the Blaugrana conceded twice in the first half before Marcus Rashford's goal, but in the second half, Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski missed a penalty, and then the home side managed to score two more goals before the final whistle. Sevilla, which won their first league match against Barcelona in 10 years, did a favor for Real Madrid, who are now back leading the standings after winning on Saturday 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu against Villarreal.

"The first half wasn't good for us. They played one-on-one and were very aggressive. We had no solutions, which isn't good. But in the second half, I really appreciated the team's reaction. I don't want to talk about the two goals, we don't want excuses. We have to focus on the first half, but the most important thing is the reaction. This defeat is important, and after the break, we will fight for all the titles. That's what we want — we're a good team. I'm not angry; everyone saw the situation. I don't want to argue about it. In the second half, we played well. Now we have to keep going. We don't like losing 4–1, it's tough, but in the end, it's just one game."
