Manager Tony Pulis has left Stoke City following talks with chairman Peter Coates on Tuesday. Pulis’s future has been in doubt for some time and he has been told the club feels the time is right for him to leave after seven years in charge. The 55-year-old was appointed Potters boss for a second time in 2006, and two years later he guided the club to the top flight after a 23-year absence. Stoke have just finished 13th in their fifth Premier League campaign. The Potters have not yet commented on the news or confirmed Pulis’s departure.

Paris St-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was named the Ligue 1 Player of the Year  as the Swede and his team-mates dominated the awards. Ibrahimovic, 31, has scored 29 top-flight goals on the way to the ambitious capital club winning their first French title since 1994. Salvatore Sirigu was given the best goalkeeper title, with Carlo Ancelotti jointly named best coach. In total, seven PSG players featured in the Team of the Year. The Player of the Year award had been won for the past two seasons by winger Eden Hazard, who left Lille for Chelsea in a deal reported to be worth £32m in June. Ibrahimovic joined PSG from AC Milan last summer for a reported £15.7m. Their title victory was the eighth of his trophy-filled career – with a further two stripped because of a match-fixing scandal with Juventus.

Manchester United drew 5-5 with West Brom in Ferguson’s 1,500th and final game in charge of United. The 71-year-old, who won 38 trophies in a 26-year reign at Old Trafford, will be succeeded by Everton’s David Moyes, who takes over on 1 July.
