The FA Cup final took place on Saturday night Mens Nike Air Presto Green Australia , but it was anything but a joyous season finale for winners Manchester United. Despite winning their record-tying 12th FA Cup, United's managerial controversy erupted once more as reports said beleaguered manager Louis van Gaal would be axed and Jose Mourinho appointed as his replacement. By the time this article is published, Van Gaal will very likely not be United's manager anymore, but one thing is clear: United's managerial situation has once again become a fiasco.

Despite reports surfacing Saturday night, the whole situation became a drawn-out saga that was still ongoing as of press time on Monday.

I am no defender of Van Gaal, but it is sad to fire a manager right after a Cup final Mens Nike Air Presto QS Blue White Australia , especially after United won. It is disrespectful to keep a manager in the dark over his firing, so much so that he had to endure days of press rumors before actually hearing from the club -directly. Van Gaal has had to manage for over half the season with persistent -rumors and possible attempts to sack him, leading him to accuse the press of sacking him several times already.

While Van Gaal was not without his flaws during the past two seasons, having displayed a lot of haughtiness in his behavior to the press and to some of his players, United should never have let it come to this. Especially when one considers previous United manager David Moyes, whose term came to a sad end by being sacked just 10 months into his first season Womens Nike Air Presto Purple Australia , which he first learned of from the press.

Perhaps United top management had that in mind when prolonging Van Gaal's tenure rather than sacking him earlier this season, when United played some atrocious soccer and got knocked out in the Champions League group stage. Back in December, there were already rumors that Van Gaal was to be fired and Mourinho would replace him. Van Gaal survived that as well as further low periods in January and in later months, though fan dissatisfaction and criticism from the press and former United stars never left him.

On the weekend, Van Gaal refused to go down without fighting and at the post-match press conference on Saturday night, he defied reporters who suggested he was facing the end of his reign. But despite his intransigence Nike Air Presto Burgundy Australia , Van Gaal seemed to indicate he was done for on Sunday when, according to the Guardian, he told a -reporter, "It's over."

United should have either fired him earlier or let him finish out the season. And they should have been decisive about it. Either way, they have shown they did not learn from the Moyes firing debacle. It is not what one would expect from one of the world's biggest and most storied soccer clubs.

MILAN, Italy NIke Air Presto Comft Red Australia , June 8 (Xinhua) -- ""It is very interesting to see what China has brought to the Expo,"" Ireland Pavilion Commissioner John Kennedy told Xinhua shortly ahead of the China National Day that was celebrated at the world exposition in Italy's Milan on Monday.

""Even before the Expo started there was a sense of anticipation about what China would bring,"" Kennedy said. ""I think anyone who cares about Expo would realize that the Chinese participation is now one of the exposition's cornerstones,"" he added.

Kennedy said this for many people is a unique opportunity they get to interact with China. ""And it is wonderful that China made the commitment to send a strong representation to boost her profile and introduce herself to the many countries that are here. China National Day would be a great success,"" he stressed.

In fact, China National Day was a great success Mens Nike Air Presto QS Grey Australia , Alessandra Spalletta, a columnist of AGI news agency told Xinhua, after raising of the flag and opening ceremony. ""I heard many colleagues and friends of mine speaking very positively about the China Pavilion, and so did many visitors on social media,"" she said.

""I see there is a clear will from the Chinese government to increase exchanges with Italy and better know our country. I wish there will be a strengthened vision and strategy also from the Italian side to boost collaboration in many fields, starting from the cultural one Womens Nike Air Presto White Australia ,"" Spalletta added.

Carlo Capria, an official of the Italian presidency of the council of ministers, on Monday visited the China Pavilion, where an exhibition of photos celebrating the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Italy and another one dedicated to the beauty of Chinese countryside were on stage for the occasion.

""Italy shares with China thousands of years of history. Today we know well both the potential of the Chinese market for the export of made-in-Italy, but recently we are also appreciating the quality and excellencies of the made-in-China that we want to import into Italy,"" he explained to Xinhua.

Capria also insisted on the importance of collaboration at the university level between the two countries in order to form ""cross-cultural managers"" able to ease communication between China and Italy.

""China is a great country that I visited several times and would like to know more and more. China is now more technologically advanced than Europe thus can be our partner in many fields Womens Nike Air Presto Black Australia ,"" said Paolo Besozzi, CEO of Concessioni Autostradali Lombarde, a motorway concession company in Lombardy region, whose capital city is Milan.

Besozzi told Xinhua that he eyes a growth of Chinese investments in Italy, including in the sector of infrastructures, also fostered by the recent birth of an alternative international bank Nike Air Presto SE Woven Black Australia , the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
