With the team at the bottom of serie A, Patrick Vieira has agreed to step down as Genoa’s head coach.

Genoa haven’t won a league game this season under the leadership of the Arsenal legend, who took over in November 2024.

Vieira “was no longer the first team’s coach,” according to a brief club statement.

Vieira led Genoa to safety and a 13th-place finish last season, winning eight and drawing nine of his 26 games. The Italian top flight currently ranks Genoa 17th.

His only other victories this campaign have been in Serie A, where he has lost six games, including five of the previous six, in the Coppa Italia.

The club thanked the coach and his staff for their hard work and professionalism throughout their careers, according to Genoa’s statement.

Vieira won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and silverware with AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Manchester City while also winning silver in his playing career.

He participated in France’s 1998 and 2000 World Cup victories.

Vieira left in 2011 and took over as New York City manager in 2016.

He was fired in December 2020 after leading Nice to seventh in Ligue 1 in his first season there.

In 2021, Vieira led Crystal Palace to the FA Cup semi-finals.

Paris Fury gives intimate insight into Tyson marriage as he sends sweet message

As she proudly displayed her most recent business venture, Tyson Fury has gushed over her wife Paris, praising her support, and offering rare insights into their 17-year marriage and extended family.

Tyson Fury has gushed over his wife Paris in a rare admission. The pair, who have been together since 2008 and married for 17 years, share seven children and are known for their playful dynamic on their hit Netflix show At Home with the Furys.

Paris, 35, has now made a rare admission of her own about her boxer husband, 37, revealing how supportive he’s been of her latest business venture. Tyson sent Paris a sweet message while she was on set filming for the upcoming launch campaign of Eternal Collagen.

In a video for her upcoming campaign, Paris stated, “Tyson has been nothing but supportive. He actually sent me a message today. So, as we were talking today, and I was explaining everything, he said, “Just to let you know I’m proud of you for being a good mother, wife, and businesswoman. Keep up the excellent work.

Speaking of the touching moment, Paris adds, “I love being a mother and a wife, it’s my joy and purpose in life. But stepping into my new business era with Eternal Collagen has been so exciting and empowering. To hear Tyson say he’s proud of me means the world. I tell my children every day that they can be anything they want to be and I hope I’m showing them exactly that. I’m juggling mum’s life, our wonderful relationship, and my business ventures, including Eternal Collagen, and I feel really proud of that..”

Only their children were present as witnesses during a private ceremony in the South of France this summer, which the couple had recently renewed their wedding vows for a third time. She continued, “Tyson, I told him I wasn’t doing it this time for anyone else.”

We did it to reaffirm our love and acknowledge how significant our children are to us now. Just for us, really.

It was a far cry from their first lavish wedding back in 2008. Then, as teenage sweethearts who had met years earlier, they tied the knot in Paris’s hometown of Doncaster in front of more than 300 guests in a traditional, no-expense-spared celebration.

The couple’s previous vows have since been renewed in New York, but this time, the attention was firmly on family as the intimate ceremony took place in southern France.

Although their lives appear to be perfect, Paris has previously said that getting married to the heavyweight champion isn’t always simple.

She acknowledged that some of Tyson’s habits are “insane,” saying in an exclusive video, “Tyson loves to wake up at 6 am because he is an early bird and I cannot stick it.” He rises, cheers, claps, and lights up while doing it for me, not in the morning.

He is extremely spontaneous, she continued, “Really, really, really random things.” However, I do enjoy it on some days but not others, so there’s a 50/50 situation. Tyson’s crazy wardrobe, “she revealed,” would be the final word. Tyson believes he dresses quite nice but occasionally a little too flamboyant for me, and I like to think that I like to dress quite nice.

Venezuela, their eldest daughter, recently turned 16; Paris has also been busy planning a significant milestone. When Venezuela’s boxer boyfriend, Noah Price, proposed during the celebration, a surprising turn occurred.

* “We’re all really happy for her and Noah; they’re a great match and genuinely excited about this next chapter in her life,” Paris continued.

She’s young, yes, but we all know that’s in line with our traditions and values. We are not far along in terms of age since I got married to Tyson at age 17; therefore, we are still close.

Where The Broom Cupboard’s Philippa Forrester now – son’s health scare, divorce hell and new job

In the 1990s, Phillippa Forrester was a well-known face on British television, starring in programs like Robot Wars and The Broom Cupboard, but she has since experienced heartache and significant acting change.

The studio lights have been replaced by Philippa Forrester, a well-known face on British television and known for her work on the BBC’s Broom Cupboard in the 1990s.

The former children’s BBC presenter, now 57, was also known for her roles in shows like Tomorrow’s World, Barking Mad, and The Heaven and Earth Show. Her stint as the captivating pit reporter on Robot Wars also captured viewers’ hearts.

Philippa was at the center of the action throughout the first three seasons, the third and sixth seasons, interviewing contestants, showcasing the engineering marvels of the battle robots, and giving viewers a sneak peek into the mechanical mayhem. Philippa resigned from her presenting duties after the show switched to Channel 5.

She and Charlie Hamilton James, a wildlife documentarian, married in 2004 and together founded Halcyon Media, a production company specializing in wildlife documentaries. Halcyon River Diaries, which aired on BBC One in May 2010, was one of their productions.

The couple moved to Wyoming, USA, to support Charlie’s work with National Geographic after giving birth to three children. What was intended to be a temporary stay turned into a six-year stay where former TV star Philippa embraced life in the American wilderness.

Fred, the family’s eldest son, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2016, a difficult time for the family. Philippa told The Telegraph, “His entire body became rigid. His head was slammed against the wall, and his eyes went into the back of his head.

My husband ran to get help after I tried to hold him, but I was unable to hold him. We were taken to a medical emergency room in a rush.

Thankfully, Fred recovered completely from surgery and ongoing monitoring. However, Philippa and James separated in the summer of 2020, causing her to re-enter the country with their three children.

She wished a bear would eat her because she was so devastated by the breakup of her marriage. She remarked, “My return to the UK was utterly depressing, in the middle of lockdowns.” A grizzly bear incident would have been wonderful, but south Gloucestershire’s wilds have provided no such luck.

Philippa described this time as particularly difficult because she had to balance raising her children and rebuilding her career. She promoted women who work for environmental causes with her book Wild Woman: Empowering Stories from Women Who Work in Nature, which honors conservation stories and personal journeys.

Her debuting podcast Conscious also features individuals who are working to make significant changes to the planet. She stated on the program’s website, “I wanted to make this podcast so that we could chat to the unsung heroes, regular people with one thing in common: making change happen and inspiring us in the process,” in response to a tidal wave of environmental bad news.

She has also collaborated with Crowdfunder UK to produce the Podcast on Purpose series, which highlights impactful crowdfunding campaigns and how they have impacted communities. Her commitment to green causes is evident in her social media posts, which frequently feature articles about green initiatives, electric cars, and personal viewpoints.

Army Holds Route March To Deepen Unity Among Security Agencies

In order to promote interagency cooperation and enhance operational readiness among Taraba State’s security forces, the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army/Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS) held a Joint Route March for its own personnel and other security forces in the Jalingo metropolis on Friday, October 31, 2025.

The Nigerian Police Force, Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Nigeria Immigration Service, Taraba Marshal, and Nigerian Red Cross Society all actively participated in the exercise.

The route march was intended to encourage inter-national security organizations to practice physical fitness, teamwork, and intercultural understanding.

Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, the commander of the Nigerian Army/Sector 3 OPWS, stated shortly before the march that the event was one of the numerous training programs the army regularly organizes to ensure officers and soldiers’ physical and mental stamina.

He asserts that today’s route march is not just about fitness. It demonstrates our resolve, strength, and commitment to standing up for our country at all times. It serves as a reminder that our profession still values discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. Let us march with pride, purpose, and mutual respect as we depart, demonstrating to the Taraba and Nigerian public that the security forces are still committed to their work.

The exercise also served as a platform to show how committed all participating organizations are to maintaining peace and security in Taraba State and throughout Nigeria.

Residents who applauded the security personnel’ display of unity and cohesion were drawn to the route march, which covered major Jalingo streets.
