Welcome back friends. Shimer and I have been taking it easy the last few weeks but it's time to get back in the groove. Some coaching and injury news today; the European Leagues have been on hold the last few weeks with Euro 2012 qualifiers but everything will get rolling again this weekend.
We'll start with the news that Argentina interim coach Sergio Batista (wish he still rocked a beard like that) will stay with the national team through the end of the year.
It's apparently a reward for his good work so far: a 1-0 win over Ireland in his debut and a 4-1 win over Spain on Tuesday.
As we all remember, he replaced Diego Maradona after Argentina's choke job at the 2010 World Cup vs. Germany.
Argentina has games against Japan and two against Brazil remaining in 2010.
Luis Segura, a high-ranking member of the Argentine Football Association, confirmed after Tuesday's victory that Batista will stay on in the job. He said other candidates will be evaluated at year's end.
Others thought to be in the running are Alejandro Sabella of Estudiantes, Miguel Angel Russo of Racing Club and Carlos Bianchi, who is without a club.
