It looks like Nigel Pearson will miss out on the Aston Villa job, but he is now the odds-on to be appointed by Derby County after impressing in his interview.

His success in getting promotion to the Premier League with Leicester City in 2014 was an important factor and an announcement could be made over the weekend. 

Also in contention were Roberto Martinez, Gary Rowett, Steve Bruce, Darren Wassell and Mark Warburton.

Great Britain's Nicola Adams completed her full set of international honours with a flyweight gold medal at the AIBA World Championship in Kazakhstan.

Adams, 33, added the world flyweight title to her Olympic,Commonwealth andEuropean crowns by defeating Thailand's Peamwilai Laopeam on Friday.

The English fighter won the 51kg final in Astana by a split decision.

Adams, who has qualified for the Rio Olympics, had previously won silver three times at the World Championships.

One name being linked to the now vacant managerial position at Reading is former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam., external

Jonathan Chadwick: Do any other Chelsea fans feel like their ex-girlfriend has gone off with their best friend?

Harry Partridge: The 16/17 season's perfectly set up for Wenger to finish above Jose & the other "big names", to prove his doubters wrong.

BFM Freeman: Jose is world class but I'm not optimistic. Hope he proves me wrong. Trophies, good football #MUFC, external way, young lads, good.

Even the Department for Communities and Local Government have got involved...

Ahoy there sub-plots:

• What new moniker will he give himself? (No more Special One?)

• Will there be eye-gouging?
• Who will he sign?
• Who will he get rid of?
• What'll happen to Ryan Giggs?
• And what of the rivalry with Pep Guardiola - at MANCHESTER CITY.

Just dropped in my inbox that Jose Mourinho is 5-1 not to see out next season and Manchester United are second favourites for next season, behind Manchester City...

Now if you were paying attention earlier you'll know the answer to this one...

Have a go here.

JB: I would make sure the hunger, fire and passion was brought back to United. The winning mentality.

Halddi: Get Fellaini to cut his hair.

Ian Stopforth: If I was Jose, I'd have gone to PSG.

Northampton forward Teimana Harrison will make his England debut in Sunday's Test against Wales at Twickenham.

Harrison starts at blindside flanker, while prop Ellis Genge, hooker Tommy Taylor and centre Ollie Devoto are in line for their debuts from the bench.

Luther Burrell returns at inside centre for his first England appearance since last August while Jack Clifford of Harlequins starts in the back row.

Players from Premiership finalists Saracens and Exeter are not included.

England head coach Eddie Jones says the absence of those playing in Saturday's final presents "a great opportunity to expose other players to Test rugby".

The Welsh will announce their XV at 11:00 BST.

Former Manchester United defender and coach Phil Neville tweets...

FullTankard: I would go back in a time machine to when I won trophies.

Mark Cosgrove: I would do as usual, be incredibly successful in year 1, then fall out with everyone in year 2 and leave.

NotSoClever45: Look for a centre half in the Vidic mode.  

We are expecting Jose Mourinho to speak to MUTV at 12:00 BST and we'll bring you the best of that interview when it goes live.

Roberto di Matteo remains favourite for the Aston Villa manager's job,with an announcement expected over the next few days.

The Italian had further talks on Thursday with Villa chairman Steve Hollis - the man who has to officially make the appointment as new owner Dr Tony Xia has yet to have his takeover approved by the Premier League.

It will be Dr Xia's decision, though, and he is impressed that Di Matteo won the FA Cup and Champions' League with Chelsea, even though he was sacked later that year.
