Jose Mourinho is the Longest Serving Coach in the La Liga
Just like that, two seasons and change is enough to make Jose Mourinho the head coach who has been the longest at his current La Liga post. Just goes to show you how unstable the life of a manager is in Spain.

Why Fernando Torres Isn’t as Good as He Used to Be
This is the trajectory of Fernando Torres’ career up to this point: Wonder kid and growing hero for Atletico Madrid, fantastic striker for Liverpool and then a complete flop at Chelsea, not to mention expensive, that everyone keeps believing he’ll bounce back to his old scoring form under the right conditions.

This isn’t the first time over the last few years that a team will finish the season undefeated but out of reach of BCS glory. This isn’t the first time it’s happened to Urban Meyer as well.
