Real Madrid will appeal a three-month suspension slapped on assistant B team coach Zinedine Zidane for not having the correct licence, the club said on Monday. The former Real and France midfielder was sanctioned by the Spanish football federation for allegedly acting as head coach of third tier Real Madrid Castilla even while Santiago Sanchez, who was also banned for three months, nominally held the post. In a statement, Real expressed their "absolute disagreement with the decision" and said they would "pursue every available legal avenue so that this decision is overturned". "Not least because Zinedine Zidane has been authorised by the French football federation (FFF) to work as a head coach in the category Real Madrid Castilla currently play in, as the certificate issued by the federation from Oct. 2014 states," they added. A World Cup winner with France in 1998, when he scored two goals in the final against Brazil, Zidane played for Real from ...

People look at Brazilian newspapers reporting on the re-election of leftist Dilma Rousseff as president. Photograph: Vanderlei Almeida/AFP/Getty Images There was a familiar ring to Dilma Rousseff’s victory speech after she won the closest Brazilian presidential election in more than a century. Having scraped back into power with the support of 54.5 million of the 143 million eligible voters, the Workers’ party leader said she recognised the need for change, that her second term would be characterised by dialogue, and that her priority would be political reform – particularly campaign financing and greater representation for women. “Every election has to be seen as a form of change, especially for us who live in one of the largest democracies in the world,” she said. “The heat released in the dispute must be transformed into constructive energy.” This humble message sounded like a sensible way to reunite a nation after a divisive and often bitter campaign. But it was also...

Bellevue Hospital Photo: AP An extraordinary number of Bellevue Hospital staffers called in sick on Friday rather than treat the city’s first Ebola patient — and those who showed up were terrified to enter his isolation chamber, sources told The Post. “The nurses on the floor are miserable with a ‘why me?’ attitude, scared to death and overworked because all their co-workers called out sick,” one source said. “One nurse even went as far as to pretend she was having a stroke to get out of working there, but once they cleared her in the ER they sent her back up,” the source added. Dr. Craig Spencer is being treated by nurses working in teams of two, “with one serving as a buddy watching the other,” said Health and Hospitals Corporation spokeswoman Ana Marengo, who denied there was a sickout. The Doctors Without Borders volunteer — who is in stable condition — has even been putting his medical skills to use, lecturing the staff about proper treatment. “As a doctor, h...

A video obtained by The Post shows a heavily bundled 5-year-old Bronx boy being rushed by workers in hazmat suits to Bellevue Hospital, where he developed a low-grade fever Monday morning and was being tested for Ebola. The boy’s mother can also be seen in the video, emerging with just a face mask on behind her son at the East 172nd Street building. The family returned Saturday night from Guinea, one of three West African countries ravaged by the disease. The child did not have a fever when he was initially examined Sunday night at Bellevue, according to the New York City Health and Hospitals Corp. He developed the fever about 7 a.m. Monday. City Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett said on MSNBC that the boy has a low-grade fever and that the test results are expected by early afternoon. Mayor de​ ​Blasio said Monday morning ​that ​the boy was rushed to Bellevue out of “an abundance of caution” because of his travel history and because he was showing signs of being ill. “...

Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa's father said on Monday that the bullet that took son's life killed a part of him. A visibly upset Sam Meyiwa told reporters outside his house in Umlazi, Durban, that he wanted the men who killed his son arrested as soon as possible. "They [the police] must make sure they get these people who killed my son. I want them in jail. I want them in custody. I want to talk to them and ask them why they killed my son. It's like they killed myself." Standing upright and biting his lips, Meyiwa said his son had been expected to return home over the weekend, but changed his plans. He said he was still battling to comprehend that his son was dead. "I don't know if I'm coming or going. My heart is broken. I'm just finished." The narrow road outside his house in Umlazi's K-section was cordoned off by eThekwini metro police. Relatives and friends were inside the property. Photographers, journalists and ca...

“Didier Drogba, his name up in lights again and doesn’t he know it?!” that was Sky Sports Martin Tyler on the Chelsea striker’s header that gave Jose Mourinho’s side the lead at Old Trafford. The Ivory Coast striker was only starting due to injuries to Chelsea’s other forwards Loic Remy and the main man Diego Costa. There were a few concerns amongst the Blues that Drogba, a player in the final years – maybe final year – of his playing career, leading the line against Louis van Gaal’s expensively assembled squad. It seems they had nothing to worry about as the striker rose highest at a corner to head his side into the lead. No doubt David de Gea will be bitterly disappointed at conceding having pulled off a superb save

AP Photo/Michael Probst The European Central Bank (ECB)  said Sunday  that 25 of Europe's biggest banks have flunked the Eurozone's first year-long financial-health exam that aimed to measure their ability to weather another economic crisis. Ultimately, the 25 banks fell short of minimum levels of capital by a total of more than $31 billion. The assessment was only slightly worse than what was predicted of the 130 banks surveyed, and the ECB said that 12 of the 25 that failed had already made up for their shortfalls during the months the ECB was conducting its review, leaving the remaining 13 with two weeks to come up with a plan to increase their capital buffers. No top-teir banks failed the so-called stress tests   and the failures were concentrated among Italian banks, with nine failures, and Cypriot and Greek banks, with three each. ECB Vice President Vitor Constancio said the stress test was a "unique and rigorous exercise" that will improve public con...
