Reiten joins Gotham FC from Chelsea

'Shaw close to extending City deal amid Chelsea interest'

Khadija Shaw is close to extending her Manchester City contract despite interest from WSL champions Chelsea, according to The Guardian

Talks between City and the striker, who is out of contract at the end of the season, have progressed in recent weeks, this report claims, increasing confidence that Shaw will stay at the WSL leaders.

Shaw, who has scored 15 goals in 16 league games this season, is on course to win the WSL's Golden Boot for a third consecutive campaign. 

'Murillo on Man Utd's centre-back shortlist'

Manchester United are considering a summer move for Nottingham Forest defender Murillo, according to the i Paper.

Lisandro Martinez's patchy injury record has reportedly forced United to look to the market for more reliable options in defence.

United's centre-back issues have been compounded by a mystery back problem that has kept Matthijs de Ligt out since November. 

A decision also needs to be made about Harry Maguire, whose contract is up at the end of the season.

Forest's Brazilian defender Murillo is among those on the shortlist at Old Trafford, according to this report.

At 23, Murillo is a player with a lot of Premier League experience that also has his best years ahead of him.

The Forest defender has a contract until the summer of 2029 after extending his deal in January 2025.

Relegation fears forced Aberdeen to change tactic on managerial search

Latest from Your Site News' Anthony Joseph:

Aberdeen could get dragged into the relegation battle, which has forced the club to act now - rather than wait until the summer to make an appointment on a new head coach.

Sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel has been leading the process, since Jimmy Thelin was sacked in January.

As Your Site News revealed last month, Robinson made the final five shortlist for the Dons - but he was not the number one target.

The Dons were close to appointing Eirik Horneland last month, but the move stalled due to uncertainty around personal issues he has.

Aberdeen then made a move for former New York Red Bulls boss Sandro Schwarz, who visited Pittodrie and watched their 2-1 defeat to Celtic last week.

Schwarz wanted to join in the summer and the Dons hierarchy were willing to wait. Chairman Dave Cormack even described him as a top candidate last week in a club TV interview.

However, recent results under the interim management team - including being knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Championship side Dunfermline - forced the club to change their position.

Robinson came highly recommended by CEO Alan Burrows, who worked with him at Motherwell. Its believed Burrows has convinced Cormack that Robinson is the right man to come in now to steer the club away from any relegation threat - and also take them forward.

Its understood the Dons believe Robinson can add stability to the squad for the remainder of the season, as well as provide experience and knowledge of the Scottish game to help them build for the future.

Constantine appointed Rwanda head coach

Englishman Stephen Constantine has been appointed as the new head coach of the Rwanda national team.

He has signed a two-year contract and will also take charge of the Rwanda's U23 team.

The 63-year-old returns to the job he left in January 2015.

Constantine has previously managed Pakistan, India, Sudan, Malawi and Nepal.

Robinson named Aberdeen head coach

Aberdeen have named Stephen Robinson as the club's new head coach.

The 51-year-old joins from Scottish Premiership rivals St Mirren, where he had been in charge for over four years.
