…football could do more with mavericks, motivators and thinkers like Marcelo Bielsa. Column. 2/2 open.substack.com/pub/henrywinte…

Marcelo Bielsa is revered for many reasons. Perfectionism. Dedication. Style of football. Unpretentiousness. Murderball. Bielsa is revered because he’s true to himself, to his methods and to his principles… 1/2

"It is one of the most beautiful memories football has given me" Marcelo Bielsa talking about Leeds United at today's press conference. #LUFC

The 2026 Patriots coaching staff 🙌

Every time I’ve watched England Under-21s train at home or abroad over the past five years, Ashley Cole was out there early, laying out the balls and cones (pic below), discussing the session with the head coach Lee Carsley. He gave individual instruction to defenders like Levi Colwill and Tino Livramento. They spoke highly of Cole’s counsel and desire to improve them as players. His work ethic and humility inspired them. In matches, Cole would sort the subs with the fourth official. No airs or graces, even though Cole was a genuine superstar as a player. He was the most consistent of the Golden Generation, England’s greatest ever left-back, seventh on his country’s all-time appearance list with 107 caps, winner of seven trophies with Arsenal, nine with Chelsea. He stood up to Cristiano Ronaldo and Arjen Robben. He nailed his two shootout penalties in the 2008 and 2012 UCL finals. He was an elite competitor and winner. After retiring at 38, Cole could have played golf or gone into punditry. Instead, he’s built a coaching career. Along with some other reporters, I helped Cole do the media module of his Pro Licence at St George’s Park. Cole's attention to detail and desire to deliver in his second career was very clear to us. Cole worked his way up, assisting Frank Lampard at Derby, coaching in Chelsea’s academy when Lampard went to the Bridge, and then assisting Lampard at Everton. He assisted Wayne Rooney at Birmingham City. He also assisted Carsley in his six games as caretaker of England’s seniors before becoming a full-time FA coach. Cole, 45, now takes on his first managerial role – at Cesena in Serie B. It’s only until the end of June but an experience, an education and with the possibility of a longer stay. Good luck to Cole. He’s earned the opportunity. He’s grafted for it.

Kevin Byard says signing in New England was a “fairly easy decision:” “I definitely knew that, obviously if I wasn’t gonna be back in Chicago, this was my top destination to go to. Not necessarily just because of the relationship I got with Vrabes…I think the pieces that they have in place, with the quarterback, the secondary and all those things, I think it makes it very attractive to any free agent to wanna come here…” @WEEI #NEPats

Thank you for an unforgettable season, K’Lavon and Jaylinn! 🫶

Kevin Byard on signing with the #Patriots: “This was my top destination to go to… the culture of this team, this organization, it’s obviously a winning culture. I think the pieces that they have in place… It makes it attractive for any free agent to wanna come here.”

"You may not look at him in the wide receiver picture overall in the league as a true number one, but he has number one versatility." @LRiddickESPN highlights how Romeo Doubs is exactly the type of receiver the Patriots need on offense.

Romeo Doubs has been one of the better red zone receivers over the last three seasons. He also had his two best games in the playoffs. Now, he joins Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III on the depth chart masslive.com/patriots/2026/…

BREAKING NEWS: "Romeo Doubs reached agreement with the New England Patriots" @AdamSchefter #PMSLive

It's a 4-year $70M deal for Romeo Doubs 💰💰 #PMSLive

From the #Raiders:

Opinion/analysis: Increasing tenders for restricted FAs ($3.52 million for right of 1st refusal) leads to multi-year deals like this. In this case, DeVito gives up a chance at unrestricted free agency in 2027. But possibly strengthens his long-range staying power by doing so.
