Clubs chase Atletico star Griezmann
BRIEFS
Antoine Griezmann has not signed a new deal with Atletico Madrid and is considering offers from other clubs, according to his football adviser Eric Olhats. France forward Griezmann has enjoyed an outstanding season with Atletico, scoring 32 goals in all competitions, and will be key if they are to defeat arch rivals Real Madrid inSaturday’s Champions League final at San Siro.
Bosz honoured by Ajax appointment
Peter Bosz is honoured to be the new coach of Ajax after signing a three-year deal with the club. The former Vitesse boss took over at Maccabi Tel Aviv in January, helping them to a second-place finish in the Ligat ha’Al. Ajax failed to regain the Eredivisie title from PSV on the final day of the season, with Frank de Boer subsequently agreeing an early termination to his contract at the Amsterdam ArenA. Bosz is delighted to be appointed his successor and is looking forward to start working with the squad on June 27.
Gracia quits Malaga
Javier Gracia has left Malaga after two seasons as coach amid interest from Russian club Rubin Kazan. Malaga confirmed Gracia’s departure on Tuesday after the 46-year-old guided the Spanish team to an eighth-place finish in La Liga. Gracia, who replaced Bernd Schuster in 2014, is now reportedly set for the Russian Premier League via Rubin.
