It’s nothing new for Chelsea to sack a manager – especially one that has delivered silverware in recent times. So it was hardly a surprise to find out on New Year’s Day that the Blues had given Enzo Maresca his marching orders. One win in seven and Maresca’s own mutterings about discontent behind the scenes were enough for the Chelsea hierarchy to act and, while a permanent replacement is sought, U21s head coach, Calum McFarlane, has been put in charge. And what a way to start. A trip to the Etihad is a massive baptism of fire although at least…
Venezuela has declared a national emergency, denouncing “extremely serious military aggression”
The Evolution of Trump’s Venezuela Policy President Donald Trump’s approach to Venezuela has undergone a dramatic transformation from diplomatic pressure and economic sanctions to direct military intervention and regime change. The capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on January 3, 2026, represents the culmination of a carefully escalated strategy that began during Trump’s first term and intensified significantly after his return to office in January 2025. During Trump’s first administration (2017-2021), the United States imposed comprehensive economic sanctions on Venezuela, recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as interim president, and indicted Maduro on narco-terrorism charges in March 2020. However, these measures…

No manager has ever been sacked twice in a single Premier League season. No manager has ever been directly linked with two relegations in a single Premier League season. No manager, presumably, has ever been disposed of within hours of pushing his club to invest in £47m worth of survival gear. Yet here lies Nuno Espirito Santo, first of his name, first to be dazed by Wolves this campaign, and a man who could have been feasibly dispensed with by the end of the first half at Molineux. Except there sit West Ham, an increasingly desperate, perplexing and self-mutilating institution,…
The Rise of Nicolas Maduro Nicolás Maduro Moros was born on November 23, 1962, in Caracas, Venezuela, into a working-class family. His father, Nicolás Maduro García, was a prominent trade union leader and militant member of the Movimiento Electoral del Pueblo (MEP), who died in a motor vehicle accident in April 1989. This working-class background would shape Maduro’s political identity and trajectory throughout his career. Maduro attended Liceo José Ávalos, a public high school in El Valle, where his introduction to politics began through his school’s student union. According to school records, Maduro did not graduate from high school. After…
US Military Operation Captures Venezuelan President The United States conducted a large-scale military strike on Venezuela early Saturday morning, January 3, 2026, and successfully captured President Nicolás Maduro along with his wife, Cilia Flores. President Donald Trump announced the operation via social media, declaring that Maduro was flown out of the country aboard the USS Iwo Jima and would face narco-terrorism charges in New York. The Delta Force, the US military’s elite special mission unit, executed the capture operation at Maduro’s presidential palace in Caracas, which Trump described as a “fortress”. Explosions were reported throughout the Venezuelan capital, including strikes…
