Some quotes from Wales manager Chris Coleman, who, as we mentioned at 13:06, has signed a new two-year contract extension to remain in charge of the national side.

"I'm delighted that we've come to an agreement so I have the honour of leading my country in another campaign - a World Cup campaign," said Coleman who has guided Wales to the 2016 European Championships.

"We need to build on what we have achieved and I'm looking forward to the challenge. It is a big challenge, but one I think we can conquer. I'm honoured to be in charge of Wales for two more years."

Stoke defender Marc Wilson has been ruled out of the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2016 campaign because of a long-standing knee problem.

Wilson has not played a senior game for club Stoke since damaging knee ligaments in January and limped out of a behind-closed-doors friendly last month. 

Raman Iyer: LVG arrested many of United's issues in the first year. In the second, there are clearly more sad times than happy. Inevitable. Time's up.

Edwin Scott George: Man United turning into a Real Madrid with sacking managers after every 1-2 years... success wont come just like that.

John Service: As a lifelong Manchester United fan, the treatment of LVG by the club/media this weekend has been disgraceful. Jose isn't the solution in my opinion.

So Moyes now drops out of contention for Villa - would have been a good choice for them. Always thought Derby County would be good for him.

We asked if former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was the right man to replace Louis van Gaal at Manchester United.

Well, you have been voting in your thousands and the results are in. 

It seems that Mourinho's first job at Old Trafford will be to win over the doubters as 53% of you don't think he is the right man for the job.

Thanks to everyone who voted.

So why has Louis van Gaal been sacked by Manchester United?

BBC Sport reporter Simon Stone, who helped break the story, has given his thoughts on Van Gaal's sacking in a video posted on BBC Sport's Facebook page.

Rajiv Rajaram: Sorry but Louis van Gaal has to go. His tactics against the lower half of the Premier League has been horrible. He will be missed though.

Paul Burrows: I think it's right for Louis van Gaal to go but the way he's been treated is poor. Mourinho is a great signing and will be brill for United. 

Joseph Whittaker: Why does everyone think Jose is old and boring. He won the Premier League with the youngest ever team and consistently scored lots of goals.

Jonny Utah: No manager could fix Man Utd as long as the greatly inept Woodward is there, we will continue to lack class and miss targets.

nate: Don't get people doubting Mourinho. You have to be ruthless to succeed and if Utd adopt that mentality, it can only get better.

Chinedu: It's about time we said goodbye to philosophy but has boredom come to stay?

Unsurprisingly almost two-thirds of tweets have a negative sentiment.

John Kingston: Sack LVG? Crazy decision, Utd will regret Mourinho in the long run. Sad that 4th in the PL is better than winning the FA Cup.

Mufc believer: On what grounds should a club like United, with all its traditions and enormity, appoint an inexperienced man like Giggs?

"The Villa job ticked several boxes for Moyes - including working again with Keith Wyness, soon to be appointed chief executive, a role he filled at Everton for five years, working harmoniously alongside Moyes until 2009. 

"The two have since kept in touch, but in the end Moyes felt he had to pass on Villa, even though sorely tempted.

"The field has narrowed now to Nigel Pearson - the preferred choice of the current chairman, Steve Hollis - and Roberto Di Matteo. 

"Each is available and have been interviewed by both Hollis and the recruitment team of the new owner, Dr Tony Xai. He will sanction the appointment although Hollis will seal the deal as Dr Xai is still not technically the Villa owner pending Football League approval.

"Villa still hope to confirm their new manager by the end of this week."

"David Moyes has dropped out of the running for the Aston Villa manager's job. On a short list of three, Moyes was strongly tipped to be the new manager after being interviewed last Thursday night, but after mulling over the challenge this weekend, decided to rule himself out.

"I understand the fundamental issue for Moyes was dropping down to the Championship and he had reservations about Villa wanting a swift decision, with a hectic summer ahead for the club's football department."
