Sanchez Flores - moving on.
SANCHEZ FLORES TO LEAVE ATLETICO

Atletico Madrid coach Quique Sanchez Flores has revealed he will leave the club at the end of the season.
Sanchez Flores will bid farewell to the club's fans in Sunday's Primera Division clash at home to relegated Hercules.
"It's my last game at the Vicente Calderon," the coach said.
"The Atletico fans have always given me their whole support. It will be hard because I will experience strong emotions."
Sanchez Flores, who has been linked with a move to Sevilla, says he hopes to go out on a high by clinching a place in Europe.
"It's a sacred aspiration," he said.
"It seems as if it's a failure to play it (the Europa League), but it's important and players like (Fernando) Torres left the club without knowing what it was like to play in Europe."
Sanchez Flores, who previously coached Valencia and Getafe, enjoyed spectacular success in his first season as he led Atletico to the Europa League and Copa del Rey finals, winning the continental competition against Fulham and losing the domestic title to Sevilla.
A European Supercup also followed with victory over Inter Milan, but this season has been disappointing and the coach has been widely tipped to move on for some time now.

Guillem Bauza - Exeter move.
GRECIANS LAND BAUZA Exeter have made Spanish forward Guillem Bauza their first summer signing.
The Grecians have snapped up the free agent after his two-month loan spell at League Two side Northampton finished at the end of the season.
Bauza, 26, is keen to make an impression at St James's Park and believes his natural ability will enable him to fit in nicely.
"I feel very excited for the team and for what will happen next season and I'm looking forward to the start," he told the club's official website. "I'm hoping to bring all my skills, all my professionalism and also try to bring my personality to the side.
"I've seen the DVDs from the manager (Paul Tisdale) and I saw the first half against Plymouth. Exeter are a team that play good football - that sometimes try to play the ball from the keeper.
"That's good for me. I'm Spanish and I've grown up playing that type of football. I have to thank the manager because I think that will really help my type of game."

Sami Hyypia - preparing to say farewell.
'PERFECT ENDING' FOR HYYPIA

Bayer Leverkusen defender Sami Hyypia admits his two-year spell in the Bundesliga has provided him with the "perfect ending to my career" as he prepares to hang up his boots this weekend.
The former Finland defender has decided to bring the curtain down on his career after Sunday's game against Freiburg and he admits there could be no better way to bow out.
"For me personally, these have been two fantastic years and a perfect ending to my career," he told sport1.de.
"The Bundesliga is on a very high level and it is a sporting challenge to make the breakthrough in Germany.
"And the infrastructure is exceptional - where else do you get such stadia which are practically always sold out?"
Hyypia had a contract until 2012, which he signed only a few months ago, yet he has decided not to fulfil that deal since his body is starting to warn him that enough is enough.
"I considered my decision very carefully, but my fitness in recent months has not been what it should be to continue performing at a high level," said the 37-year-old.
"We have controlled my training intensity and dosed my appearances, but in my opinion it was better to retire."
By bowing out today, Hyypia also misses out on one last challenge for the Champions League which he won with Liverpool in 2005.
However, he said if he is not fit enough for the Bundesliga, "then I am certainly not for the Champions League".
Hyypia has played a total of 53 matches for Leverkusen, scoring three goals.
