From the editor… Thirty is the magic number: 30 MLS teams in the 30th MLS season. Since its inaugural campaign back in 1996, Major League Soccer has been on a rollercoaster journey.

In this issue… It’s not every day that the FA appoints a new England manager, and far less a German one, so Thomas Tuchel draws much of our attention for this issue.

Face to Face: Birmingham City manager Chris Davies - World Soccer
As Davies settles on the sofa and into his story, he leans forward and turns off the switch at an empty plug socket. I mention this reflex action of clearly a hugely meticulous individual. “I just don’t think we need to have that on!” Davies smiles. “Save a bit of money, get a few more […]

From the editor “Chaos reigns at Olympiacos”, ran the headline of World Soccer’s review of the 2022-23 Greek season, as Nick Bidwell described a campaign of “wall-to-wall chaos” at the Piraeus outfit.

From the editor History, they say, doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes. And football is no different.

The foremost […]
Out now: World Soccer October 2023 - World Soccer
From the editor No summer transfer window is complete without a long- running saga hanging over it, and this year’s Harry Kane plotline was more thought provoking than most. Is it better to chase trophies or goalscoring records? To remain a legend at one club or compete with the elite? Stay at home or test […]

From the editor Football is dead, long live football.

Out now: World Soccer, May 2023 - World Soccer
From the editor It is not normal for a 24-year-old to be approaching a decade spent in the global public eye. Then again, Martin Odegaard is not a normal footballer. True, plenty of players have been hyped and heralded as teenagers, but few have experienced it to the same extent as the Norwegian. Fewer still […]
