Spurs sacked Pochettino this week after just five wins in 17 matches in all competitions this season and replaced him with former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho. The 47-year-old’s departure came less than six months after he led Spurs to their first Champions League final, where they were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool. Bielsa, who coached Pochettino as a young player at Newell’s Old Boys and has been credited with influencing his post-playing career, says reaching that final showed just how well the Spurs side had been constructed even in a season in which no players were signed....

Clinton defended president Bush’s decision to go to war, even though no weapons of mass destruction had yet been found....

Belichick tied Bears legend George Halas for second-most wins in NFL history, including playoffs, when the Patriots beat the Browns in Week 6 of the 2022 NFL season.

Belichick doesn’t need to add to his list of career achievements, but he will likely relish a chance to do so anyway....
