A journalist exclaimed “Why in God’s name would he go to Newcastle” when referencing an in-demand manager, instead insisting he should wait to scoop the gig at Manchester United.
Newcastle are on the hunt for an elite level manager to lead the early years of their new project. The club are expected to splash the cash in the winter window, but precisely who will be tasked with managing the chequebook is currently unknown.
Newcastle must appoint both a sporting director and manager as their first and second acts. A recent report indicated Ajax’s Marc Overmars was on their radar for the former role.
The ex-Arsenal winger has delivered the goods in Amsterdam and had even been linked with joining Edu at the Emirates.
