Reports broken by Bild in Germany suggested Bayern have selected Kovac to be the replacement for Jupp Heynckes when the veteran leaves the Bundesliga champions at the end of the season. Thomas Tuchel was reportedly in the running for the vacancy only for Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge to confirm the former Borussia Dortmund coach - strongly linked with Paris Saint-Germain - has agreed to move elsewhere. But despite Kovac seemingly being the next man in the Allianz Arena dugout, Bobic, who is the member of the club’s management board overseeing sport, says he is unaware of a deal being done for the 46-year-old Croatian....

How could he top that in 2017? Well, it doesn’t look like he will, at least not with a league-wide honor.

There were a lot of players who posted more gaudy statistics, which, for most observers, made Bryant just another player who had a nice regular season. To his fans and teammates, though, it was much more than that....

Bell made the revelation on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, revealing to guest host Chelsea Handler that during the pandemic they “were at each other’s throats” and decided to go to the same therapist separately so they “could talk s*** about each other.” The celebrity couple have been together for over a decade now and appear to be one of Hollywood’s closest items. Starting from their first meeting to now, let’s take a look back on the relationship timeline of Bell and Shepard....

Zidane has come under fire after Madrid’s struggles in La Liga this season, with his side sitting 17 points behind leaders and rivals Barcelona. A 3-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie is sure to ease the pressure on the Frenchman. But Kroos dismissed any criticism of Zidane, who has led Madrid to eight trophies since taking the helm at the start of 2016....

It comes as no surprise that Kobe Bryant won't play for Team USA at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. He will, however, spectate and watch Lakers teammate Pau Gasol "win another silver," he told reporters Monday. Bryant, 35, recently signed a contract extension that will keep him in purple and gold through the 2015-16 season. His basketball future in the NBA, let alone the Olympics, is questionable beyond that. The veteran guard's role on the 2012 London squad was reduced from that of 2008 in Beijing, where he scored 20 points in Team USA's 118-107 win over Spain in the gold metal game....

Shaq’s son, Shareef O’Neal, is a 6-9 prospect set to graduate from high school in 2018. And in an attempt to hone his guard skills, Shareef will train with Bryant this summer.

Everton were soundly beaten by a side returning to European competition for the first time in 26 years as the home team’s dominant first half set up a comfortable 3-0 victory. Everton 17/2 to beat United The Toffees conceded all three goals in a ragged first 45 minutes and never threatened a comeback, instead limping to a third straight defeat in all competitions. Koeman, who presided over an expensive influx of new faces over the close-season, shouldered the responsibility for the performance despite suggesting his team needed to display more fight....

Many Southampton supporters were angry at the time but the Dutchman, who led them to a sixth-place league finish and a spot in the Europa League, was unrepentant on Friday. “I understand different opinions and (crowd) reactions. I am not afraid of that,” he told a news conference. “It’s time to think about Everton. I made the choice and I’m really happy. It’s a big club with a big history....

Moments earlier, Koepka had been brought to his knees at Carnoustie amid a wild stretch of six dropped shots in five holes that left the U.S. Open champion unusually flustered at the British Open. Just when his opening round looked like it was unraveling, he fought back. Koepka reached the turn in 41 before rallying with a stunning 31 on the back nine for a 1-over 72 on Thursday. It left him six shots off the lead and with his ambitions of back-to-back major victories just about intact....

There is no mistaking him in a major. Koepka bullied rain-softened Bellerive on Saturday in the PGA Championship, building a five-shot lead until he had to scramble to avoid a slide on the back nine. He settled for a 4-under 66 and a two-shot lead over Adam Scott going into the final round of the final major of the year. At stake is a chance to win three of the last six majors he played, and to join an elite list — Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen — as the only players to win the U....

New Delhi, May 12 (PTI) Royal Challengers Bangalore lived to fight another day in the Indian Premier League as the star duo of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers shared a scintillating 118-run stand off 64 balls to script a five wicket win over Delhi Daredevils here tonight. Thanks to Kohli (70 off 40) and de Villiers (72 not out off 37), RCB raced to the 182-run target in 19 overs despite being reduced to two for 18 in the third over....

While Kohli joining the London-based team was an open secret, the county officially announced the deal today on their official website. “Surrey County Cricket Club are delighted to announce the signing of India captain Virat Kohli for the month of June,” the club announced on their website www.kiaoval.com. Speaking after signing for the club, Kohli said: It has long been an ambition of mine to play county cricket and I am thankful to Alec Stewart and Surrey for allowing me the opportunity to join them during their 2018 season....

Kojima shared this unique pitch on Twitter, leading many to question whether he was joking or serious. Kojima explained that he not only had, but currently has “a number of ideas” that feature Mikkelson as the main character. The Mads Max game was apparently one of these ideas. While Kojima doesn’t detail what the project would actually be about, the Mads Max title implies it would be directly inspired by the George Miller Mad Max films....

Kolarov missed City’s high-scoring triumphs against Monaco in the Champions League and Huddersfield Town in an FA Cup replay due to a hamstring complaint. Europe’s Team of the Season so far Centre-back Kompany, who was initially expected to play a part in the fifth-round tie against the Championship side, remained on the sidelines after an unspecified leg injury proved to be the latest frustrating setback of a nightmare couple of years on the fitness front....

Kompany joined City from Hamburg in 2008 and has been an integral part of their three subsequent Premier League triumphs. The Belgium international started back-to-back league games for the first time since August as the reigning champions claimed a vital 2-1 win over Liverpool in the title race last week. Kompany was arguably fortunate to avoid greater punishment when he was booked for a heavy challenge on Mohamed Salah during the first half but went on to turn in a commanding display at the heart of the City defence....

Konami also made a series of drastic business shifts too. Despite Silent Hills being one of Konami’s most highly anticipated games, the game was cancelled, the P.T demo was taken down, and director Guillermo Del Toro considered leaving the games industry for good as a result. Then, Konami delisted themselves from the New York Stock Exchange and CEO Hideki Hayakawa announced that their “main platform” would be mobile. Understandably, this led to some serious concern and even anger amongst Konami’s fanbase....

The France defender, who can play at left-back or centre-back, was announced as an €80million signing from Atletico Madrid on Wednesday after Bayern triggered his buyout clause to smash the Bundesliga’s transfer record. Lucas will not play again for the LaLiga side as he went under the knife to resolve damage to the medial collateral ligament of his right knee. The 23-year-old will undergo rehabilitation in Germany under the watch of chief medical officer Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt but Kovac cannot guarantee Lucas will be ready for pre-season....

Americans Kraft, Fathauer and Poston are a shot clear of the chasing pack at five under to upstage the likes of Sergio Garcia and defending champion Jordan Spieth on Thursday.

Fathauer and Poston recorded a bogey each in otherwise perfect rounds in Fort Worth, Texas....
