Tottenham marked its return to European competition after one-year absence by overcoming an early red card to beat Qarabag 3-0 in the revamped Europa League.

As part of the relaunch, which will see all 36 teams compete across a single league table before splitting into play-offs and knockouts depending on finishing position, both the Europa League and Champions League have been handed exclusive weeks for their first week of action.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a surprise move for the Italian manager Maurizio Sarri. The 65-year-old Italian manager is currently without a job after resigning from his position as the head coach of Lazio earlier this summer.
