Former Villarreal CF boss Juan Carlos Garrido has been confirmed as the new coach of Club Brugge KV, putting pen to paper on a deal until the end of the season.
"Garrido is known to be a strong leader who emphasises the values of hard work," said a Club Brugge statement. "He has a modern vision for the game, he values youth development and his passion for working with players is infectious. He stands for the never-say-die attitude that this club is all about."
Spaniard Garrido, 43, succeeds Georges Leekens who was dismissed on 4 November following a run of four consecutive Belgian First League defeats. Since the 63-year-old's departure, interim coach Philippe Clement has guided the team to a 2-2 UEFA Europa League home draw with Newcastle United FC, as well as overseeing Sunday's 6-1 defeat at domestic pacesetters RSC Anderlecht.
A former Villarreal B coach, Garrido was promoted to the first-team helm at El Madrigal to replace Ernesto Valverde in February 2010. He negotiated a fourth-placed Spanish Liga finish the following season, and also led Villarreal to the 2011 UEFA Europa League semi-finals, before he was eventually sacked in December 2011.
Currently down in eighth place in the Belgian top flight, Brugge are third in UEFA Europa League Group D and host FC Girondins de Bordeaux – whom they trail by three points – on matchday five, 22 November.

After taking a rare four-day break from training to relax both physically and mentally, the Revs resume their league schedule on Sunday night against Chicago
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – With Major League Soccer taking a brief hiatus for the group stage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, a recent four-day break from training provided a unique chance for New England Revolution players to enjoy a rare midseason "vacation".
Veteran defender Cory Gibbs took the opportunity to relax around the house and spend time with his wife, Zena. Rookie left back Seth Sinovic visited family in his hometown of Leawood, Kansas, marking his first trip home since signing his first professional contract in March. Forward Kheli Dube stayed local and simply lounged around the house, using the time to let his body recuperate from a difficult stretch of games in May.
No matter what their activities during the mini-break, each and every member of the Revolution took the chance to refocus mentally ahead of the club's return to league action on Sunday night, June 27, against the Chicago Fire. The match kicks off the unofficial "second half" of the MLS season, as the Revs won't have another break of this length between games for the rest of year.
"I think we needed this break," said Dube, who leads the Revolution with four assists but has been frustrated not to find the back of the net himself after scoring a career-high eight goals last season. "We've been having a tough time in the league and having a break to think about it (was important). Now we can get back and focus on the upcoming game."
The Revs began the 2010 season brightly by winning two of their first three games, but they've gone 1-6-2 in their last nine league matches and have been outscored by a margin of 18-7 in that stretch. They currently occupy sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 3-7-2 (11 pts.).
Their most recent league match was a maddening 3-0 loss to Seattle Sounders FC, a game in which the Revolution registered just two shots, only one of which was on target. By the time the Revs take the field to battle the Fire on Sunday night, it will have been more than three weeks that they've been dwelling on that performance.
"We got a lot of stuff off our minds (during the break), thought about a lot of things," said Gibbs. "We just regrouped. I think the first session back went well. We got a run in and we feel sharper."
After their four-day break, the Revs returned to training on Wednesday morning with a spirited session as they began preparing for the visiting Fire. The workout lasted an hour-and-a-half and while the hiatus was necessary for its physical and mental benefits, it was clear that the players were ready to get back to work.
"I think everybody's anxious to get another game in," said Sinovic, who has a healthy 23-year-old added that in his case the break was needed more mentally than physically. "We want to start putting some wins on the board and see if we can get ourselves back in the playoff race."
It's been nine years since the Revolution missed out on the postseason, and while there's still plenty of time to make up ground in the Eastern Conference, the players are fully aware that a bit of urgency is necessary to avoid falling into an even deeper hole. With the top two teams in the East – the Columbus Crew and New York Red Bulls – already 10 points ahead of New England in the standings, the time is now to turn the season around.
Because this weekend's match begins what is essentially "the rest of the season" for the Revolution following the World Cup break, it's critical that the club gets off on the right foot and sets a positive tone for the remainder of the year.
"It's very important," said Gibbs of Sunday night's game. "This is crunch time. The second half (of the season) is always the most important. We need to start getting points."
Sunday night's meeting with the Fire contains a plethora of storylines, not the least of which is the fierce rivalry between two clubs which have met in the MLS Cup Playoffs for five straight seasons. On top of that, there's the likely return of starting goalkeeper Matt Reis – having recovered from offseason shoulder and knee surgeries – and the recent news that Taylor Twellman has suffered a setback in his recovery from a long-term head injury and has been added to the season-ending injury list.
With so much unfolding, it would be easy to get distracted from the task at hand, but the bottom line is this: if the Revs hope to have any chance at meeting the Fire in the postseason for a sixth consecutive season, they'll have to start picking up three points on a consistent basis.
According to Dube, there's no better time to start than this weekend.
"Right now we've just got to try to grind out a win," he said. "That's what's needed. We don't need any ties, we don't need any losses. We need to work hard and just grind out a win.

Brrr! For a week now, the chilly northeast winds have been blustering. All around me, humans are showing up in corduroy, fleece, wool and down - vests, jackets, hats, and even gloves. We don't molt so much as layer into our winter plumages. And we're only talking 50, not 14 degrees - the Thanksgiving Day high in Nome, Alaska.
I glanced out at my feeders on Nov. 12 and was thrilled to find my FOTS (first of the season) American goldfinch. Last winter, the weather was so mild, even up into New York and New England, that we didn't see goldfinches until mid-January. This year, a poor cone crop, damage from Superstorm Sandy and early snows seem to be combining to send the finches south sooner.
I called my mom the next day.
"I have three goldfinches," I proudly announced.
"I have five orioles," she trumped me with glee.
What a strange juxtaposition! Baltimore orioles are neo-tropical migrants that pass through this area every spring en route to breeding territories up north. Thanks to climate change, more of them are now spending the winter in our area instead of continuing south to Florida and the islands. They seem to prefer yards with winter-blooming flowers such as camellias, and will happily slurp up hummingbird nectar, grape jelly and the juice from cut oranges.
American goldfinches nest and spend most of the year further north, but range into the Lowcountry during the winter. Lately, also because of climate change, it has seemed like more of them are remaining on their breeding territories during the winter, rather than coming south.
I admonished my dad.
"The 'grinches' (our family shorthand for goldfinches) are back. You better get your feeders up."
"I have a bag of nyjer seed out in the garage," he replied. "Do you think it's still good?"
"That depends. Nyjer has oil content. If it dried out over the summer sitting in the heat of the garage, the finches will turn up their beaks. You can test it by putting some on brown paper and pounding it. If you see oil residue, it's still good."
The next day, he reported that his feeder was up, filled with fresh seed, and hosting a small group of American goldfinches.
Many area residents have reported seeing another bird, the same size and shape as a goldfinch, but streaky with a little yellow in the wings and tail. These pine siskins also come farther south when the cone crop is poor in the northern forests. Keep a careful eye on your finches and you may spy some siskins as well as house finches mixed in with your flock.
Back in my yard, I glanced toward the bushes to see another winter friend emerge cautiously from the underbrush. Also brown and streaky, but larger and sporting a bold central breast spot, the song sparrow will never get the "oohs" and "aahs" elicited by a brilliant male Baltimore oriole.
Song sparrows and their cousins, the white-throated sparrows are entertaining, if not glamorous winter visitors, dining on millet below my feeders with a dance step I call the "hop-and-scratch."
Unlike the warblers that flit about high in the tree canopy, sparrows spend most of their time on or near the ground. To blend in with their habitat, they are generally colored in shades of brown. Some twenty species can be found in our area. Besides the non-native English or house sparrow, the sparrow most often seen on bird feeders is the chipping sparrow. Petite at 5.5 inches, this clear-breasted sparrow dons a rusty cap during breeding season. Like goldfinches, they are party birds, dining together in large flocks, either on the ground or filling every perch of a feeder filled with white millet.
Yes, I am excited about the arrival of finches, sparrows, ducks, loons, gannets and even some humans migrating south for the winter. Good birding!

One thing was different in 2015 however. In 2015 I discovered Strava and a great tool for motivating me to get out of bed and on my bike when it was dark, wet, cold or windy or even all four. The result: See for yourself, a huge (for me) annual mileage, a satisfying weight loss too and inevitably some plans to return to the race course next year to see what kind of fitness all this has re-built. In the meantime I'm going to keep chasing PBs, KOMs and weekly mileage throughout the winter, racing myself to try and be a faster me, to enjoy the empty trails when the weather's less than perfect and I'm determined not to let all that riding go to waste.
Oh, and just because, here's a little movie of "Rob's Year On Strava" (bike stats discounting Zwift):

St. Louis Vs New York Battle Turns Out To Be A Disaster! (Murda Mook Tries To Get Things In Control)
GDE Online Magazine reports "The St. Louis vs NYC Battle was supposed to take place at a large venue in Harlem but the cops shut it down and because of a lack of building permits so then it was moved to a small club in another location took place in Harlem, NY but the battle still turned out to be a total disaster!! Officially there was only one battle between two unknown cats some dude named TaeRock and another dude named 4 Fifth... but after that the club owner shut it down and loaded lux was no where to be found my dude Murda Mook said let's just do it outside so he tried to save the show by bringing it outside. Thats when this happened....but by this time all the NYC battle rappers had left the building but the St. Louis dudes still wanted to battle so they saw Goodz and wanted to battle and this is what happened...But Goodz didn't wanna battle so at the end of the Day Goodz never battled or spit a verse and Aye-Verbs had to battle a bronx dude named SB who wasn't even in the battle to begin with but SB held it down. After that there were a couple of freestyles by Crook, Shorty Roc*( www.myspace.com/theblackrocky ), and Kaboom but then everyone went home unsatisfied and $20 short but on the real everybody was there Head Ice, T-Rex, Murda Mook, Serious Jones, and Arsenal but Goodz seems like he was scared to battle the dudes from St. Louis after the whole show was shut down due to poor coordination and a lack of building permits... You decide"
