Lehmann ponders retirement
Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has hinted he could retire after this summer's European Championships - but still believes he has a part to play in the Gunners' end-of-season push for honours.
The Germany international has spent much of the season on the Arsenal bench after losing his place to Manuel Almunia, but he remains confident his experience can help Arsene Wenger's side as they attempt to win both the Premier League and the Champions League.
"I don't know what I will do after the summer," he told www.fifa.com.
"I will play the European Championships and then it depends on whether I get a good offer. If I do, I might play on another two years, and if not, I probably might retire."
Bilic wants Eduardo at Euro 2008
Croatia coach Slaven Bilic is hoping Arsenal will allow injured striker Eduardo da Silva to join up with the squad for this summer's Euro 2008.
Bilic says Eduardo is determined to join the squad in Austria and Switzerland and that all the players want to see the 25-year-old part of their group.
"I am speaking to him every couple of days and the players are really close to him and are talking to him as well," Bilic told Sky Sports News.
"We would like to have him from day one of Euro 2008 but Eduardo is Arsenal's player."
Buffon targets European final
Gianluigi Buffon has revealed his belief that Juventus could find themselves in a Champions League final within the next two years.
The Bianconeri look to be returning to Europe's biggest club competition after their demotion to Serie B in 2006 robbed them of European Cup action for two seasons.
"I believe in the Champions League final," Buffon told Tuttosport.
"When? In two or three years, because I think this team can return given time. We display strong character, grit and determination - this allows us to overcome any technical deficiencies that we may have."
Colantuono replaces Guidolin
Palermo have sacked coach Francesco Guidolin and reinstated his predecessor Stefano Colantuono.
"Palermo felt that, in the light of the events of recent days, the conditions did not exist to confirm faith in Mr Francesco Guidolin who, therefore, is relieved of the post of coach of the first team," read a statement on the club's website. "The position has been entrusted to Mr Stefano Colantuono."
The end of Guidolin's fourth stint on the Palermo bench comes after three consecutive league defeats and a series of public spats between the coach and club president Maurizio Zamparini over the last week.
Keegan keen to tie up Owen
Newcastle United manager Kevin Keegan has urged the club's owners to agree a new contract with striker Michael Owen to prevent him being tempted away by a better offer.
Owen's current deal expires at the end of next season. "I've already started to say we should be talking to Michael now, not next week," said Keegan.
"Michael's not going to stop scoring, he's not going to stop catching the eye and Michael is going to be wanted by other clubs. But at the moment he's here."
