Those of you who have read CUAS for a long while will know of my amusement at the continued
managerial failures of ex-Holland international Ronald Koeman.
Today, entirely unsurprisingly, Koeman has been sacked by Dutch champions AZ Alkmaar after just
sixteen matches of the 2009/10 season. Their 2-1 home defeat to Vitesse was the final straw and
Koeman leaves the champions sixteen points behind league leaders FC Twente (eleven straight league
wins for Steve McLaren's side, by the way).
The final eight spots in the Champions League Round of 16 will be filled today as the group
stage concludes with a handful of key clashes.
The marquee match-ups reside in Group H, where Inter Milan faces Rubin Kazan, with the loser of
that match set to tumble out of the Champions League.

Anyone who knows me knows I love to travel to Europe to scout and do professional development.
Let's face it, there's a lot we can learn by going over there and seeing how training is done and
what the atmosphere is like. Not that there's anything wrong with American training methods per se,
but you can always learn more, you can always improve, and a lot of Western European teams are at
the place we want to be.
Heading out - Bolat adds to AZ's agony
When Standard Liege goalkeeper Sinan Bolat fired a bullet header past opposite man Sergio Romero in
the dying seconds of his club's final Champions League group game against AZ Alkmaar to snatch a
1-1 draw, it automatically became one of the season's most memorable moments.
