She is an agent for the stars and is about to take her role temporarily Switch between the footballing elite who is immersed in the color, noise and general madness of the Edinburgh Festival.

Having reached the largest podium in the competition, which began by standing face to face with Sir Alex Ferguson, Laura Doyle will temporarily be in the spotlight in Scotland.

She is an international player manager at Stellar Group, one of the best sports agencies in the UK, and Doyle admits that she is in a role where anything can happen the day she supports footballers who may not be familiar with speak culture or English.

Preparing to be a star in the Brazilian jazz show & The 39 River & # 39; in the capital next month, it is somewhat fitting that her debut in soccer teamed up with star twins Fabio and Rafael da Silva when they joined Manchester United from the South American country in 2008.

And as far as the start of life in a new job is concerned, a meeting with formidable Scotsman Sir Alex certainly awaits her a role at the top of the game.

& # 39; I started with the Da Silva twins & # 39 ;, said Doyle. & # 39; They were my first born, if you want! They came from Brazil and that's how I got into football because I was hunting for the Stellar Group.

There was no one in the club who spoke Portuguese, so I had this baptism of fire because I was account manager at a marketing agency, but I speak a number of languages.

"As far as football is concerned, I was involved from the first day in meetings with Alex Ferguson, the coach, physio, the doctor.

" to work. If I had come in and it was Iggy Pop, I would have found it a bit daunting! I was a football fan but not mega immersed in it. I just continued my work.

& # 39; I don't think I appreciated the size of the deal at the time. Alex Ferguson was an absolute gentleman and the players loved him – absolutely loved him.

& I was with the players and we were all new to this world at Manchester United. We all felt welcome, happy and settled.

& # 39; I could immediately see why he became the success he was. I worked in PR and marketing and that is all about managing the personalities and characters of people. His skills in the field of man management with everyone were incredible. Everyone loved him. & # 39;

Doyle currently works with Marcos Rojo and Tahith Chong in Manchester United and Yan Valery in Southampton.

Previously, she assisted in the mega relocation of Gareth Bale from Tottenham to Real Madrid in 2013.

& # 39; I was also contacted by Alan Stubbs and helped him his compile book & # 39; "How Football Save My Life" about how he treated cancer twice, "said Doyle of former Celtic and defend Everton.

" He was about his passion for football and his drive to stand up And he saw through to play again. 21 coach at Everton the team. & # 39;

Doyle admits that she can't wait to go to Edinburgh with her show. As far as she is concerned, there is no better location to go to this summer. And one day she did not rule out what Scottish football has to offer in her role with Stellar, who also employs former Hearts to defend Allan Preston.

& # 39; It is the only place in August in the world. It is unbelievable! & # 39; added Doyle.

& # 39; I would like to go to a game in Scotland. Many of my colleagues are there, including Allan Preston. If my players go on loan there, I hope to catch a game there if I can. & # 39;

ROME | Fognini fires up Foro Italico crowd with win over Thiem

ROME | Fognini fires up Foro Italico crowd with win over Thiem

ROME (AP) — Fabio Fognini got the Foro Italico crowd fired up Wednesday with a 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 win over sixth-seeded Dominic Thiem in the second round of the Italian Open.

Italy’s top player came out wearing a black shirt with a red lightning bolt design down his chest and he was energized from the start, grazing the flower beds lining the court to return Thiem’s high-bouncing topspin serves and frustrating the Austrian with well-placed lobs and touch volleys.

“I played very well today,” said Thiem, who beat Rafael Nadal in the Madrid Open semifinals last week. “It was just him, he was very pumped playing at home.”

Nadal, a seven-time Rome champion, routed 31st-ranked Damir Dzumhur 6-1, 6-0.

While Fognini drop-kicked his racket onto the court after a miss early in the third set, it was Thiem who ultimately lost his cool. In the final game, Thiem smashed his racket into a mangled wreck and handed it to a befuddled fan in the front row.

When Thiem netted a service return two points later to end it, the White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army was blasted over the stadium sound system and the crowd began singing along in an atmosphere that more closely resembled a soccer game than a tennis match.

“We’re finally connecting and I think that’s the most beautiful thing,” Fognini said of the crowd, which whistled him off the court following an erratic performance a few years ago. “They finally understand me.

“I beat a top clay-courter,” Fognini added. “I think I deserved it at the end. … I ruined a few flowers but I think the federation can afford to buy some new ones.”

Thiem was already looking ahead to the French Open, which starts on May 27.

“It’s a loss which is not too painful, which is just motivating me for the next weeks,” the Austrian said.

Also on the red clay of the Foro Italico, Albert Ramos-Vinolas rallied to beat eighth-seeded John Isner 6-7 (5), 7-6 (2), 7-6 (5).

In women’s action, Simona Halep routed Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-0 for the first of two wins she needs this week to hold on to the No. 1 ranking.

Halep needs to reach at least the quarterfinals or risk losing the top spot to Caroline Wozniacki.

It was a sharp turnaround for Halep from when Osaka lost only three games against her in the Indian Wells semifinals in March — when Osaka went on to win her first career title.

Osaka wasted four break points and a chance to take a 2-0 lead in the first set, then lost 11 straight games.

“For some reason, I couldn’t get a ball in the court after that, on my backhand side,” Osaka said. “And she was playing very solid. And I knew she knew I couldn’t hit a backhand, so we were just having backhand rallies.

On Halep’s first match point, the 21st-ranked Osaka didn’t even make a move for Halep’s return of her second serve.

Last year in Rome, Halep rolled her ankle in the final and lost a lead and the championship to Elina Svitolina.

Maria Sakkari of Greece rallied past sixth-seeded Karolina Pliskova 3-6, 6-3, 7-5.

At 5-5 in the third, Pliskova got engaged in a lengthy argument after she had an overhead smash called out. The chair umpire

acknowledged that she “lost” the ball mark and therefore said the point should be awarded to Sakkari. On the next point, Sakkari converted a break then served it out.

Also, U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens held off a comeback from Estonian qualifier Kaia Kanepi in a 6-0, 5-7, 6-4 victory; seventh-seeded Caroline Garcia defeated Timea Babos 6-3, 6-4; and 14th-seeded Daria Kasatkina eliminated American qualifier Danielle Collins 6-2, 6-3.
