Andreazzoli was dismissed on Monday - his 65th birthday - with Empoli 18th in the Serie A table after a 5-1 thumping at title hopefuls Napoli in their last match. And the club moved swiftly to appoint a successor with Giuseppe Iachini, who coached Sassuolo last season, confirmed as Andreazzoli’s replacement within 24 hours. Andreazzoli’s colleagues Giacomo Lazzini and Andrea Aliboni have also left Empoli, while Iachini’s first game in charge will be at home to Udinese on Sunday....

Depending on the type of surgery, recurrence of endometriosis may be more common than getting rid of endometriosis completely. Thus, endometriosis can be a chronic condition. This article discusses hysterectomy to treat endometriosis, when to see an endometriosis specialist, other treatment options, and support for ongoing advocacy and help. Hysterectomy: A Last Resort for Endometriosis Deciding whether to get a hysterectomy to eliminate the symptoms of endometriosis is a big decision....

Gareth Southgate’s World Cup semi-finalists came into the match on the back of three consecutive defeats and his much-changed line-up were off the pace at the King Power Stadium. The second half brought a notable improvement and Marcus Rashford netted the only goal from Kyle Walker’s 54th-minute cross. Man-of-the-match Rose was one of the few players to impress throughout and told Sky Sports there were a few home truths between team-mates at the interval....

Cook partnered with several batsmen at the top ranging from Alex Hales to Nick Compton but the truth is that none of those batsmen could solidify their position in the side. Cook’s departure from the set-up meant that the selectors now had the double headache of finding not just one but two quality opening batsmen who could face the moving red ball at the top. It was then when they found Rory Burns, the man who cemented his position in the side following an impressive showing at the 2019 Ashes series....

In case you didn’t know… Wood sees an idol for himself in former England pacer Stephen Harmison, and that is understandable as both people hail from the same place - Ashington, Northumberland. At just 6ft tall, Wood does not possess the stereotypical qualities of English pacers - he likes to generate good pace and bowl at 140kmph+ speeds and is a hit-the-deck bowler. He debuted with the England Test side in 2015 against the Kiwis....

The former Under-21 manager was put in charge for World Cup qualifiers at home to Malta on Saturday and away to Slovenia three days later following the departure of Sam Allardyce after 67 days in charge. Southgate’s initial task is to steady the ship and build on the victory in Slovakia, Allardyce’s only match as manager. Admitting he was as surprised as anyone about Allardyce’s downfall after he was secretly filmed making inappropriate comments during a Daily Telegraph probe into corruption, Southgate said his priority was results....

Former first-choice goalkeeper Hart has been dropped from the squad following poor form at West Ham for Burnley’s Nick Pope , while Arsenal midfielder Wilshere has also been omitted from the group that will travel to Russia. Jordan Pickford and Jack Butland are the other goalkeepers in the squad. Southampton left-back Ryan Bertrand is a surprise exclusion from the defensive line, though Liverpool youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold has been handed his first senior England call-up after a sensational season following his hand in helping the Reds reach the Champions League final....

Timing the contact as late and as close to the body as possible, ability to manoeuvre backfoot/frontfoot play, vigilant concentration and putting a high price tag on his wicket are a few uncommon features that defined Rahul Dravid. Not surprisingly, he enjoyed success on seaming tracks in England on almost every tour. Among the current lot, Pujara’s technique resembles that to the Dravid the most; before the tour commenced, Pujara was touted as the player for the conditions and opposition....

The Test series was the most anticipating contest, and as expected it was worthy of five-match series which provided entertainment throughout the tour. Though India lost the series by 4-1, the scoreline does not justify the competitiveness. Every session in the Test had twists and turn with no team willing to give up. The Indian team failed to capitalize on some of the crucial moments which cost the series. The team missed some of the key players due to injury and many other reasons....

India registered a convincing win in the first match, thanks to Kuldeep’s five for and KL Rahul’s century. In the second match, Indian batsmen faltered on a tough batting pitch. The English batsmen made sure that they do not make similar mistakes and helped their side level the series. India suffered another big blow in the pace department just before the decider in the form of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. In spite of the setback, Indian bowlers were excellent in the death overs and managed to restrict England to a score which was 20-30 short of the par score....

With all of Bilas’ opinions out in the open, Emmert was asked for his thoughts on Bilas at the IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum in New York on Wednesday, defending his ability to do his job and voicing his displeasure with Bilas’ criticism in two quotes. "I appreciate how passionate he is about college sports,” Emmert said. “I don't like the ad hominem (personal) attacks." To which Bilas replied on Twitter: "If by 'ad hominem,' he means many agree with me, he's correct....

The wall-size maps, on display at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, are “as engaging as a good movie,” says curator Paola Antonelli. (The maps, called “New York Time Exchange,” are part of an exhibition entitled “Design and the Elastic Mind,” which runs through May 12.) As flows of telecommunications data change, arcs of light, glowing dots and landmasses expand and shrink. (The maps aren’t quite in real time: data are delayed for two hours for technical reasons....

This could mean that employers are granted stronger powers against employees who do not want to return to the office or workplace in the U.K. Sitting at an employment tribunal hearing in Manchester, Judge Mark Leach also ruled workers could have their pay docked for disobeying calls back to in-person working. The Times reported that the ruling came after a woman, whose identity was not revealed, brought a discrimination claim on the grounds that being forced to return to work was a breach of the Equality Act 2010....

NSC aides say some of the material can be reconstructed from files at the State and Defense departments and the CIA. A holdover NSC staffer says the “presidential” papers were sent to Houston, site of the new Bush library. Other NSC papers went to the federal archives. “Those were the instructions we received,” he said. Washington veterans say the transfer of NSC records is left to the discretion of the outgoing administration....

Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, three Black and mixed-race England football stars, aged 19 to 23, conjured unfathomable strength to take penalty kicks at the death. Thirty million viewers in the U.K., and many more like myself here in the U.S., could barely muster the courage to watch. That they each missed reflects the madness of penalties. That they were then subjected to hateful, racist abuse is a sadly familiar tale in the ugly underbelly of the beautiful game....

“There are a few similarities as to how (Manchester) United play and England play,” Gomes said here. England have already sealed a last-16 berth with a match to spare, following two successive wins against Chile and Mexico. “But when I’m here, we focus on our own identity and style and try to stick to that.” The 17-year-old is one of the most highly-rated youth prospects at Old Trafford and he showed it with a jaw-dropping free-kick conversion to seal a 4-0 rout of Chile....

Suresh Raina top scored with 100, while Rohit Sharma and Mahendra Singh Dhoni made 52 each. Chris Woakes was the most successful English bowler with four for 52.

It was far from a comfortable match for the seventh seed, who won the first set easily but struggled in the second, saving two set points in the 10th game, before running away with the tie-break. Raducanu played some powerful tennis at times but made too many errors at crucial times with her new-found attacking approach. Gauff will now meet the winner of China’s 29th-seed Qinwen Zheng and USA’s Bernarda Pera in the third round....
