Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Timbers named Cameron Knowles as an assistant coach Thursday. Knowles, 29, played for seven seasons, including four with the Timbers. During his time with Portland, Knowles was a three-time USL First Division all-league selection. This will be his first season as an assistant.

"I'm very excited about the transition into coaching," said Knowles. "It is an honor to be a part of the Timbers once again."

Lecce, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Inter Milan will attempt to get back to winning ways on Sunday at Lecce after the club saw its eight-match winning streak halted in the Coppa Italia by Napoli in midweek. The 2-0 setback prevented Inter from reaching the semifinals of the competition for the first time in nine years, but Claudio Ranieri's men will turn their attentions back to the league in an effort to continue their climb up the Serie A table.

Juve secured a place in the last four of the Coppa Italia by handing Roma a 3-0 defeat on Tuesday, and the club enters the weekend one point clear of second-place AC Milan.

Roma sits three points back of Lazio and will be trying to keep the pressure on its rivals with a win at home against Bologna, while Napoli has fallen to seventh in the table after two league wins in its last six matches and travels to Genoa.

The other match on Saturday features mid-table sides Parma and Catania getting together with the two teams separated by one point.

Bremen, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Werder Bremen announced Friday that it has signed Austrian midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic from FK Austria Vienna on a three- and-a-half-year deal. Junuzovic, 24, will undergo a medical on Monday before being presented to the media at the Weserstadion.

Junuzovic made 19 appearances in the first half of the Austrian Bundesliga season, tallying six goals and eight assists. He has also amassed 16 caps for Austria, netting just once.

Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - PSG signed Brazil defender Alex from Chelsea on Friday on a 2 1/2-year deal. Alex, 29, left Brazilian club Santos in 2004 for Chelsea, and remained at the English Premier League club - with the exception of a loan to PSV Eindhoven - until the switch to France.

"I knew the greatness of the club and I wanted to logically come. I spent two years under the direction of Carlo Ancelotti in London and I am very happy to be here in Paris."

He follows Brazilian defender Maxwell to PSG this January. Maxwell joined from Barcelona earlier this month.
