The 71-year-old Scot entered retirement having watched his Premier League champions draw 5-5 at West Bromwich Albion on the final day of the season having led 5-2 with 11 minutes to go. Before the game he had spoken of his desire to go out on a high after more than 26 years in the job but he was not really referring to the type of score. ...

MADRID, May 19 (Reuters) - Champions Barcelona moved a step closer to matching Real Madrid's La Liga record of 100 points with a 2-1 win over Real Valladolid, that was the prelude to a title party at the Nou Camp on Sunday. Tito Vilanova's side wrapped up their fourth league crown in five years last weekend, but still have the chance to equal the mark set by Jose Mourinho's victorious side last season.

By Daniel Alvarenga LISBON, May 19 (Reuters) - Porto coach Vitor Pereira may not be as loved as predecessors Jose Mourinho and Andre Villas-Boas but his staying power helped his team retain their Portuguese league crown by turning around a season that looked set to end empty-handed.

"They arranged so many funerals for us along the season... ...
