on from the stands as his side drew 1—1 against everton at goodison park. the 49—year—old austrian replaces roy hodgson, who stepped down on monday. and after everton missed a big chance — with james tarkowski's header well saved — palace opened the scoring from almost nowhere — thanks to jordan ayew. before amadou onana grabbed the equaliser from a header at the back post. a crucial point takes everton out of the bottom three on goal difference, while palace remain five points off the drop zone. former entract frankfurt boss glasner was announced a few hours before kick off. hodgson who's 76, was taken ill during training on thursday last week, amid reports he was going to be sacked. the club say that he is now out of hospital and doing well, but in the same statement announced that his second managerial spell at the club had come to an end. glasner�*s first game will be on saturday against burnley, with hodgsons coaches ray lewington and paddy mccarthy taking charge on monday night:

it's been a tough five days and the most important thing is that ray is on the mend and at home and is positive about the future and that's the main thing, and putting in the performance and we are pleased with that. talking about the bravery to play here when it was different tonight and i think that was a better performance considering the second half and in the end, i think we were at least worthy of a point and another day we could've received it in the second, i thought. girona's unlikely la liga title bid suffered another dent in a 3—2 defeat by athletic bilbao after leaders real madrid were held to a draw by rayo vallecano on sunday. the catalan minnows, who are second, hoped to cut the six—point gap but were beaten, thanks to two goals from alex berenguer. girona have now failed to win any of their last

three league matches. harry kane says there can be no hiding from a tough week with bayern munich's performances, well below the level they expect of themselves. they've lost three games in a row for the first time in nine years. it started with that chastening defeat to league leaders bayer leverkusen, then a first leg loss to lazio in the champions league before going down 3—2 at mid—table bochum on sunday. german football writer and broadcaster rafael honigstein spoke to my colleague olly foster. to lose three games in a row it usually means curtains. the fact that the coaches still there is testament to bayern not having a ready made replacement to come in as an emergency caretaker. otherwise patience would have run out at this point. but they are desperate to finish the season with him and to make

a new start. but the question is with the way that bayern are so devoid of form and confidence and there is no cohesion in the team, so unpredictable even within games, it is hard to see how the season will come to any sort of happy ending. this run started with defeat to the league leaders who are unbeaten under their coach and lo and behold, should that coach be the next person in the hot seat at bayern? they would love to get him and he was a star in this team at the tail end. he left behind lots of people respecting him and everyone sees what he does at his current club and has tremendous form and has made every single player better, all the things you want, combined with the stature that comes with winning the world cup and every trophy there is as a player. still, still a good player himself who takes part in training and plays all these balls to show how things are done.

that would be the preferred option for bayern but they know that they have tough competition in the shape of liverpool and leverkusen themselves who feel confident their coach may stay for another year. but if they had the pick, that coach would be theirs. you have to feel for harry right all of this, the england captain who must�*ve thought the going to bayern munich would probably be a surefire way to end the trophy list run in his career to date. i think he still has time. three years left on his contract to win something. bayern not winning any trophies in the next few years will be inconceivable. this is not the only reason, the main reason he wanted to go was to play in the club that is regularly

challenging for the champions league and bayern are still involved even though they have a deficit to make up for. and to prove themselves but unfortunately with the form collectively tanking in recent weeks he seems to be affected as well because he has not been at his best, missing chances, misplacing passes that normally come off to him. it is no longerjust one or two players, it really is the whole team who look a little out of sorts and unfortunately it affects form as well. now the choice of casement park as one of the venues for the european championship in four years time was a surprising one. the stadium in west belfast has been derelict for the past decade because of planning and funding issues and a backdrop of poltical turmoil in northern ireland. but on monday morning, the diggers moved in, to prepare for the redevelopment, but there's still no guarantee that it will be ready for 2028. mark simpson reports.

just after eight o'clock this morning work started at casement park. a moment in history, or anotherfalse dawn? we will find out soon. decision time is approaching. work is now under way to prepare the old stadium for redevelopment. but the money to rebuild it has yet to be found. what could happen is that the two governments, the executive, the authorities and even the ifa should get together and work through the potential problems that exist. they have shown their own bona fides this morning by starting the maintenance and clearance work and my understanding is that they are paying for that themselves. so that is a good thing. here is the plan. to turn this into this. a state—of—the—art modern sport

stadium with room for more than 30,000 people. ready for a soccer match and the euros in 2028 but primarily for daily games. the current county manager cannot wait. i think there will be great excitement for everybody to have casement park up and running so i hope theyjust get on with it. but there is only so much the workers here can do. the real action in the coming days will be in the corridors of power. in stormont as well as london and dublin as work on a funding package continues. sri lanka beat afghanistan by 72 runs in their t20 cricket match in dambulla on monday to win the series with a match to spare. afghanistan chose to bowl, but the home side were inspired by sadeera samarawikrama's 50 angelo mathews made 42 as well, on their way to their total of 187 for six.

sri lanka now have an unassailable 2—0 lead having struck first at the weekend. and that's after completing a 3—0 series win in the one—dayers. teams around the globe are preparing for the t20 world cup which takes place injune. finally, the australian rider shane rose is back in the saddle after causing a bit of stir earlier this month. the three time 0lympic medallist, donned a mankini, at a showjumping event in sydney where fancy dress is encouraged, but authorities thought the 50 year had gone to far, so suspended him. but his 0lympic preparations can now resume after a review found that he hadn't breached any code of conduct. i thought i would have some fun and a good friend of mine, the team vet is a hairy greek man and he has worn a mankini before. i asked him if i could impersonate him and he said go

for it. we came in with music behind, zorba the greek was playing in the background and there i am pretending to be nathan so i thought i should front up and do the same as he. i did not expect it to create the fuss that i have. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. this round of incredibly mild weather continues as we go through the next few days.

on monday, we saw temperatures reach 15 degrees almost in parts of london. that makes it seven consecutive days of seeing the temperatures of 14 degrees or more and well above the average of 6—8 celsius. but that kind of weather will be back later this week — feels much more like february with temperatures 6—9 degrees for many, which will actually be higher than many have been by night recently. and if that's the case, we start tuesday — 7—9 degrees in western scotland, northern ireland. but it's here where we start to see the rain arrive, first of all. in fact, a spell of at times heavy rain sweeps across scotland, northern ireland during the morning, followed on by sunshine more extensively for the afternoon — a few showers in the highlands and ireland. through the afternoon, though, northern england and wales turn increasingly wet and windy. to the south and east of that, many will stay dry during daylight hours, but fairly cloudy, some sunshine and again, 14—15 celsius will be possible. the patchy rain will, by the end

of the afternoon and evening, edge its way southwards. it looks like it starts to fade, but then regains strength. after some clear skies for a time in the north with a touch of frost, cloud and rain will surge its way northwards later in the night on wednesday and mild weather fights back once again. so it will be a very mild start to wednesday but a thoroughly wet one. these weather fronts bring in outbreaks of rain quite extensively, pushing its way eastwards with some strong and gusty winds throughout the day, too. wettest in the morning for many, and particularly so on hills exposed to those southerly gales brining up from the west later — sunshine and showers — but rain will hold on across shetlands into the middle part of the afternoon and it may never fully clear the channel islands and the english channel. in the sunshine, it's going to be mild. southerly winds, a0 mile an hour winds, if not more. and temperatures again in double figures, if not low teens for the most part. but that milder weather is eventually pushed out the way. this area of low pressure to the north of us, as it works its way eastwards, introduces winds from the north atlantic, and that brings a drop in temperature. clears away the rain

slowly, though, that we see again across england, wales, eastern scotland on thursday. bright conditions into the west, but the showers will be a mixture of rain, hailand on the hills a bit of sleet and snow on the tops, too. temperatures dropping as we go through the day. and that cooler run continues through the rest of the week and into the weekend with further spells of wind and rain at times.
