Arsenal's Santi Cazorla: 'David Moyes will have difficult start at Manchester United

The Premier League champions have started a new era following the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, who stepped down from his role after accumulating 38 trophies in 26 years at Old Trafford.


"The most radical change is at Manchester United because Ferguson has been there for so long," Cazorla told the official Arsenal Magazine.

"It will be a little difficult at the start for a new manager but I don't think it influences too much in terms of being an advantage for other teams. There are great managers at those clubs and I'm sure [the title race] will be just as difficult."

Roma employ former Lille coach Garcia

Roma employ former Lille coach Garcia

Rudi Garcia – the man who, in 2011, guided LOSC Lille to their first Ligue 1 championship in 57 years – has been installed as AS Roma coach on a two-year contract.

AS Roma have appointed Rudi Garcia as their new coach on a two-year deal.

The Italian outfit moved for the 49-year-old, who left LOSC Lille last month, after deciding not to renew the contract of Aurelio Andreazzoli. Andreazzoli succeeded the sacked Zdeněk Zeman in February but could not secure European football next season for the capital club. Roma finished sixth in Serie A and lost to city rivals S.S. Lazio in the Coppa Italia final.

"We are happy and optimistic about the decision to hire Garcia," said Roma president James Pallotta. "He has already proved to be a winner and we like his football vision. We believe he fits perfectly into our blueprint for the future."

Garcia, the first Frenchman to occupy the Giallorossi dugout, took charge at Lille in 2008 and guided Les Dogues to the Ligue 1-Coupe de France double three years later. Like Roma, Lille ended the 2012/13 campaign in sixth position.
