Neymar might have played his final match for Brazil, with the Selecao s joint-record goalscorer suggesting he may not return to the international stage.

Brazil crashed out of the World Cup with a 4-2 penalty shoot-out defeat to 2018 runners-up Croatia in Doha on Friday.

Their shoot-out heartbreak followed a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes at Education City Stadium, with Neymar opening the scoring midway through extra time before Bruno Petkovic hauled Croatia level.

Neymar s wonderful goal, which came at the end of a sublime move, took him level with the great Pele on 77 for Brazil.

The 30-year-old had hinted this World Cup might be his last, though with the next Copa America coming in 2024, it had not been expected he would retire.

However, Neymar is un…

According to a recent report from The Independent, Rafa Benitez is a possible option to become Leicester City’s caretaker manager.

Now that Brendan Rodgers has left the club, Leicester’s search for a new boss has begun. The belief is that Thomas Frank and Graham Potter are long term choices once the season is over but for now, the priority is bringing someone in who can ensure the Foxes’ survival in the Premier League.

Martin O’Neill, who won the League Cup twice with the club, is one option in mind. However, he hasn’t held a role since leaving Nottingham Forest in summer 2019.

Freddie Ljungberg admitted he cannot spend months and months as Arsenal s interim head coach without adequate support staff.
