European football witnessed a remarkable day as three recently appointed managers experienced defining moments in their respective leagues. Just a week after Chelsea, Manchester United, and Real Madrid reshuffled their coaching staff, all three clubs were back in action — and the results delivered a mix of triumph and tension.
At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s new boss Liam Rosenquist secured his first Premier League win after a disappointing FA Cup exit earlier in the week. Goals from João Pedro and Cole Palmer sealed a 2-0 victory, giving the Blues a much-needed lift.
“𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒈𝒖𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒏, 𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒏𝒔,” 𝑹𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉.
Derby Glory and Birthday Delight Europe
The spotlight then shifted to Old Trafford, where Michael Carrick enjoyed a dream debut in the Manchester derby. United defeated City 2-0, marking their first home derby win since January 2023. Second-half strikes from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu ensured Carrick’s first outing in the dugout ended in celebration.
Meanwhile, in Spain, Alvaro Arbeloa’s journey with Real Madrid took a dramatic turn. After a disappointing Copa del Rey setback earlier in the week, the former defender guided Los Blancos to a 2-0 league win over Levante. Kylian Mbappé and Raúl Asensio found the net, making it a perfect birthday gift for the 43-year-old coach.
“𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒃 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚,” 𝑨𝒓𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒂 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔.
As the dust settles, the three coaches now look ahead to building momentum — each carrying fresh confidence from a day that will be remembered across Europe.
