Will Óscar García lay the foundations for an Ajax rebuild? And, on the eve of Valentines day, what is the most romantic European stadium to visit?

Who could have known that after all this time, it is us who moves the thumb to signal the demise of managers in Europe. After Jonathan Johnson joined Andy earlier this week to discuss Marseille's mauling at the Parc des Princes, Roberto De Zerbi has left the Stade Vélodrome by mutual consent.

Today however, it's Lars Sivertsen who accompanies Dotun and Andy to discuss the news of his departure. Plus, Antonio Conte puts a penny in the swear jar after Napoli's Coppa Italia exit, and the title race heats up in the Primeira Liga.

Le Classique is rarely a close affair, but 5-0 is a result that nobody could have predicted. Marseille totally outclassed by PSG in a night that could have some serious implications.

Jonathan Johnson joins Andy to assess the current state of the Ligue 1 title race, the future of Roberto De Zerbi, Pablo Longoria & Medhi Benatia at Marseille, and whether we still have a title race in France.

In 2018, FIFA member states voted overwhelmingly to give the USA, Canada and Mexico hosting rights for the 2026 World Cup, a decision hailed as historic for the sport's breakthrough into the US mainstream. Eight years later, there are renewed calls for UEFA to boycott the tournament after Donald Trump made clear his intention to potentially invade Greenland - but how realistic is this prospect?

Miguel Delaney joins Dotun and Andy to ruminate on that. Also on the show, will we see the N'Golo Kanté of old at Fenerbahçe? And can Sporting capitalise on a Porto loss as they approach a crucial six-pointer?
