The Lazio manager speaks ahead of the match against Milan at the Olimpico

Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri has cast serious doubt over his future in Rome following a toxic atmosphere during their recent Serie A victory. Furious with the club's transfer policy and the ongoing fan boycott against the president, the veteran coach delivered a scathing assessment of the board, admitting he no longer understands his reasons for remaining at the Stadio Olimpico.

The 2026 winter window closed on Monday, with Jorgen Strand Larsen's £48 million move from Wolves to Crystal Palace the biggest deal done on deadline day. Truth be told, though, it was a pretty tame end to what's been a fairly quiet month in the transfer market. Indeed, aside from Manchester City, most of Europe's top teams did next-to-no mid-season business, while there was very little movement at all in France, Germany or Spain - which wasn't that surprising, given January is traditionally a tough time to find good value for money.

Bayern Munich's unbeaten record in this season's Bundesliga is gone! The Bavarians were upset at the Allianz Arena by Augsburg, although the German champions are still eight points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table, meaning it's unlikely to adversely affect their chances of retaining their title. However, things are getting very interesting in England, where we thought Arsenal were almost home and hosed only to suffer a wobble that has made things very interesting, given Manchester City and Aston Villa are both closing in on the Gunners.
