☆ Xabi Alonso becomes Europe’s most wanted coach as Bayer Leverkusen runs away with Bundesliga
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-04 | by ( Ben Morse | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

Xabi Alonso was appointed the club’s head coach in October 2022, with Leverkusen languishing near the bottom of the German table. Prior to being appointed Leverkusen’s manager, Alonso had coached Real Madrid’s Under-14 team and Real Sociedad’s B team. We have seen in the past what else can happen,” Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tag told Dazn after the victory over Köln. There are 10 games remaining in the Bundesliga season and Leverkusen is the strong favorite to win its first ever league title. And with Leverkusen in semifinals of the domestic cup and the round-of-16 stage of the Europa League, Alonso could cap off a memorable second season in first-team management with a hat-trick of trophies.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany hired Julian Nagelsmann to lead the men’s national soccer team on Friday, entrusting the former Bayern Munich coach with doing a better job than the last Bayern Munich coach who tried. Political Cartoons View All 1173 ImagesNagelsmann previously took over from Flick when he became Bayern coach in 2021 with Flick leaving to coach the national team. Germany national team sporting director Rudi Völler took over as interim coach and oversaw a morale-boosting 2-1 win over France in its next game. Völler, who was Germany coach from 2000-04, had made clear he only ever wanted to take over again on a temporary basis. Before coaching Bayern, Nagelsmann enjoyed success in charge of Leipzig and Hoffenheim, where he became the youngest coach in the Bundesliga in 2016.

☆ Review: Problematic Attachments in ‘Aspects of Love’
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-26 | by ( Houman Barekat | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

For those who find regular love triangles too pedestrian, quadrangles and pentagons are also available. Unconventional arrangements are the order of the day in a dynamic revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Aspects of Love,” which opened on Thursday at the Lyric Theater in London. (It is a lot raunchier than Lloyd Webber’s most recent work, which invited the audience to “sing unto the Lord with the harp” during the coronation of King Charles III.) This “Aspects of Love” is exquisitely produced and superbly performed, but — like many a real-life libertine — it eventually buckles under the weight of its excesses. Alex, 18, invites Rose to stay with him at a villa owned by George (Michael Ball), his rich uncle, and the two fall in love.

☆ Ford October sales slide 10% largely due to supply chain issues
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-02 | by ( Michael Ballaban | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +1 min

New York CNN Business —Ford saw its October US sales slump 10% over the last year as the company continued to battle supply chain difficulties. Ford sold 158,327 vehicles last month, down from almost 176,000 vehicles in the same period last year, the company said Wednesday. Not all automakers saw sales declines, however. Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia reported strong sales for the third month in a row, and Japanese automaker Toyota saw year-over-year sales rise 28% in October. Issues getting cars delivered to customers aside, “Ford continues to see strong demand for its vehicles,” Ford’s vice president in charge of sales for gasoline-fueled vehicles, Andrew Frick, said in a statement.

☆ Elon Musk said Tesla could be the biggest company in the world. He's also about to sell more shares
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( Michael Ballaban | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

On Wednesday evening’s earnings call, the Tesla CEO claimed that his company, a maker of niche luxury cars, would someday be worth more than Apple and Saudi Aramco. Tesla’s market value is $650 billion – down 7% after the company walked back a projection of 50% growth this year. Musk said the Tesla Model 3 would cost a mere $35,000, and it does not. Musk later apparently came off this idea, saying “robots are very bad at picking up fluff.”The point is, Elon Musk promises a lot of stuff. That does not exactly add up to a company that beats Apple and literally Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil company.

☆ O mișcare de protest împotriva restricțiilor COVID, pusă sub supraveghere în Germania

Gruparea Querdenken 711, care a organizat în ultimele luni numeroase manifestaţii împotriva restricţiilor stabilite de guvern pentru a combate pandemia, devine din ce în ce mai radicală şi a fost „infiltrată” de extremişti, susțin responsabilii germani. Fondatorul mișcării, Michael Ballweg, un antreprenor din Stuttgart, a respins acuzaţiile că mişcarea sa este alimentată de teoriile conspiraţiei şi extremismul de dreapta. „Suntem o mişcare paşnică şi nu un partid politic”, a declarat recent Ballweg pentru dpa, insistând că antisemitismul, violenţa şi extremismul nu-şi au locul în cadrul protestelor. Numărul 711 din denumirea ramurii din Baden Wurttemberg a mişcării Querdenken face referire la prefixul telefonic pentru Stuttgart. Au fost înfiinţate filiale ale mişcării şi în alte părţi în ţară.
