Koeman, 48, said he had the players to cause a surprise in the league after Feyenoord finished 10th last campaign, their worst result since 1989-90.

Sion have been charged with fielding ineligible players against the Scottish side during their two-legged play-off, which they won 3-1 on aggregate.

As a result of, Celtic have been awarded two 3-0 wins as the matches have been forfeited.
Sergio Aguero s brace salvaged a 2-2 draw for Manchester City at QPR as the champions lost further ground in their title defence.
Aguero famously scored an injury-time winner against Rangers to seal the 2011-12 Premier League title for City, but similar celebrations appear increasingly unlikely this time around as Manuel Pellegrini s team lie eight points behind leaders Chelsea after 11 games.
Charlie Austin had time to net two disallowed strikes before his sixth goal of the season gave QPR a 21st-minute lead, with City threatening to crumble under a ferocious early onslaught.
The visitors were indebted to a moment of brilliance from Aguero, who levelled the contest after 32 minutes, but a Martin Demichelis own goal meant a repeat of the scoreline City suffered a…
Bulgaria have sacked head coach Luboslav Penev after a poor start to their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.
Bulgaria have taken just four points from their four Group H fixtures so far, but their 1-1 home draw with Malta last Sunday saw the gap to third-placed Norway widen to five points.
And that proved to be the final straw for the Bulgarian Football Union (BFU), who opted to dispense of Penev s services on Thursday.
In a statement, BFU president Borislav Mihaylov said: I m sorry I have to part with Luboslav.
I m angry because he did many good things at the head of the national team, but now there are no results and my colleagues in the Executive Committee shared the view that it cannot continue.
Penev is not the only culprit, a lot of playe…
