The team did lose former first base coach Clayton McCullough, who was named manager of the Miami Marlins after the 2024 season. McCullough was replaced by Chris Woodward, who returned to the Dodgers organization in 2023 after a stint as manager of the Texas Rangers. It appears the Dodgers are losing another member of their coaching staff to the Marlins as catching coordinator Craig Driver is set to be named Miami's new first base coach, via Craig Mish of SportsGrid:

Inter are tied for first place with Roma, and are leading the league despite defeats against Udinese, Juventus and Napoli. Milan are in third and two points back despite stumbles against Cremonese, Pisa and Parma. The Nerazzurri have struggled in the two big matches so far, while the Rossoneri have been the best in the league. Chivu's side are beating the 'lesser' teams with regularity, while Allegri's team continue to drop frustrating points due to defensive lapses.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New York Jets come into Thursday's game riding a two-game winning streak, and they are tasked with trying to prevent the New England Patriots, who are on a seven-game winning streak themselves, from ending the night with the NFL's best record. The Jets (2-7) and Patriots (8-2) are having a polar opposite season as they head into this Week 11 matchup.

Dan Fiorito, the club's minor league outfield/infield coordinator, will be promoted to the big league staff. It was reported last month that the Yankees would be moving on from a few coaches, including first base and infield coach Travis Chapman. Per Joyce, Fiorito has been hired to replace Chapman at first and is expected to take over the infield coaching duties as well.

Snitker, 36, is the son of former Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker and spent nearly a decade in the Houston Astros organization. He joined Houston in 2016 and became the club's major league hitting coach in 2019, helping guide one of baseball's top offenses before being dismissed following the 2025 season. Snitker was reportedly a leading candidate for the Mets' vacancy as the team overhauls its coaching staff under manager Carlos Mendoza.

I really don't pay too much attention to prognosticating because especially in this day and age, I don't even know the names of the players (on the teams),

Harkey, 58, has served two separate stints as the team's bullpen coach. His first stint was from 2008-13, which included the World Series winning 2009 season. After spending 2014-15 as the pitching coach for the Diamondbacks, he returned as the Yankees' bullpen coach in 2016 and had been in that role ever since, until today's news. The club has generally churned out a strong relief corps in those ten seasons.

Stefanski on Monday said he will call plays in Sunday's Week 7 home game against the 1-5 Miami Dolphins ( 1 p.m. ET, CBS). "I'm going to keep calling plays," Stefanski said, "but I want to stress that we have to get better in so many areas and that includes coaching, that includes how we teach our guys, how we put them in different formations, the ways you run the ball, ways you pass the ball. All the above."

GM Dana Brown and manager Joe Espada are sticking around, but that doesn't mean the Astros aren't making big changes. The team is parting ways with hitting coaches Alex Cintrón and Troy Snitker, catching coach Michael Collins, head athletic trainer Jeremiah Randall, and assistant GM Andrew Ball, as relayed by Brian McTaggart of MLB.com and Chandler Rome of The Athletic. It's no shock that the Astros are looking for new blood.

The Pirates are making several changes to their coaching staff. Pitching coach Oscar Marin will not have his contract renewed, as first reported by Jon Heyman of The New York Post. Assistant pitching coach Brent Strom and third-base coach Mike Rabelo will also not be returning, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. It was earlier reported that GM Ben Cherington and manager Don Kelly would remain in their current roles.

The White Sox announced today that manager Will Venable's coaching staff will be overhauled this winter. Specifically, the club announced that they will not be renewing the contracts of pitching coach Ethan Katz, hitting coach Marcus Thames, first base coach Jason Bourgeois, and catching coach Drew Butera. James Fegan of Sox Machine adds that Sergio Santos, who manages the club's Triple-A affiliate in Charlotte, will also not have his contract renewed.

That was a huge blown opportunity. The Cards had a chance to take sole possession of first place in the NFC West. Yet, they somehow couldn't stop Mac Jones from putting together a ten-play, 63-yard drive in 1:46 that led to the 49ers kicking a game-winning field goal. That is a major red flag for a head coach who is supposed to be a defensive specialist. This loss might end up being the difference between Arizona making and missing the 2026 NFL Playoffs.

Venezuela were beaten 6-3 by Colombia on Tuesday ending their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Venezuela has sacked its national football coach, Fernando Batista, a day after the team's FIFA World Cup qualification dream ended following an intervention by the country's president. News of Argentinian Batista's sacking on Wednesday night, alongside his entire backroom staff, came after President Nicolas Maduro called for a restructuring of the technical staff.

Louis Rees-Zammit's unexpected departure from the NFL back to rugby union was influenced by injuries, coaching changes, and emerging options in rugby, enhancing his career prospects.

"He's obviously got a bank of experience and I'm very excited to continue working with him and to have him on my side," Raducanu told Sky Sports.

Nahas took over as interim coach in the fall of 2021 following the firing of Paul Riley, who allegedly sexually coerced former players and was eventually banned for life from the NWSL.

Florida has the talent to make another title run. Before UConn won the national championships in 2023 and 2024, men's college basketball hadn't seen a repeat title winner since Florida in 2006 and 2007 -- but Todd Golden's Gators have the players to make it a trend. Alex Condon withdrew from the NBA draft to return to Florida, Rueben Chinyelu and Thomas Haugh are also back, and top transfers Boogie Fland and Xaivian Lee were added in the portal.
