Coleman on shortlist for Blackburn job

Latest from Your Site News' Alan Myers, Adrian Kajumba and Amar Mehta:

Former Wales manager Chris Coleman is one of the candidates being considered for the vacant Blackburn head coach job, Your Site News understands.

The club sacked Valerian Ismael on February 2, after almost a year in charge, with the club languishing in the relegation zone and three points away from safety.

Coleman, 55, has had managerial stints at Fulham, Coventry and Sunderland. He also managed Wales between 2012 and 2017, where he led them to qualification for Euro 2016, their first tournament since 1958.

Wales reached the semi-finals during that tournament but resigned in November 2017 after they failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

Most recently, Coleman managed Greek side Asteras Tripolis and left after a year in charge. Coleman spent two years between 1995 and 1997 at Blackburn toward the end of his playing career, featuring 32 times.

Votikova has 56 caps for the Czech Republic and will wear the No 13 shirt.

Arsenal sign Dixon from Stoke

Arsenal have confirmed the signing of teenaged defender Jaden Dixon from Stoke City.

The 18-year-old, who can play at centre-back or right-back, joins as an academy signing.

Dixon made six senior appearances for Stoke and featured 49 times for their U18s and U21s.

He has represented England at U17, U18 and U19 level and previously played in Tottenham's academy.

Dixon's arrival at Arsenal follows the signing of 18-year-old forward Ewan Mooney from St Mirren on Monday.

Ex-Man Utd defender Williams leaves Hull

Former Manchester United fullback Brandon Williams has left Hull City by mutual agreement.

The 25-year-old joined Hull in August 2025 on a one year deal but just featured once in all competitions.

Williams spent almost two years out of the game following a loan stint at Ipswich Town. 

During that time he was sentenced to 14 months in jail, suspended for two years, after being convicted for dangerous driving.

He left Manchester United at the end of his contract in 2024 and had a spell at Norwich City.

"We would like to thank Brandon for his efforts during his time at the MKM Stadium and wish him all the best for his future career," said Hull in a statement.
