Leeds coach: Leeds United have appointed former Manchester City striker Uwe Rosler as their fifth head coach in less than a year, the Championship club announced yesterday. The ex-Brentford manager has signed a two-year contract at Elland Road after being sacked by Wigan Athletic in November following a poor start to the season.

De Gea: Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has been crowned the club’s players’ player of the year for the second season in a row. The Spain international, who also made it into the PFA team of the year and the six-man shortlist for the PFA player of the year award, has kept 10 clean sheets behind a shaky United backline this season. His stellar performances have not gone unnoticed and he has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer.

Nice gesture: Sunderland striker Danny Graham has put his hand in his pocket to help save a fellow footballer’s career. The 29-year-old Black Cats frontman has donated £2,690 to a fund set up to raise funds to cover the cost of an operation for Gateshead midfielder JJ O’Donnell, who is suffering from the rare foot condition sesamoiditis. Supporters of the Tyneside club, which plays in the Vanarama Conference, initially set out to raise £5,000, but Graham’s contribution has boosted the total to in excess of £7,000, around the full cost of the treatment.

Sheringham: Teddy Sheringham could be about to take his first job in management after being given permission to speak to Stevenage. Reports said the former England striker has been given the go-ahead by West Ham, where he is attacking coach, to speak to the League Two side. Stevenage dec-lined to comment on the reports.

Sinclair: Aston Villa winger Scott Sinclair is looking forward to next season after completing his move from Premier League rivals Manchester City. The 26-year-old is committed to the club for the next four years after initially signing on loan for the rest of the current campaign. “We’ve had a fantastic end to the current season – and now I am already looking forward to the new season starting,” he said. “It was important for the family to have that stability and I’m thrilled it’s with a club like Villa.”
