Paulo Fonseca is inching closer towards taking the Newcastle manager’s job following a disagreement at board level, according to a report.
The Magpies have continued to search for a new head coach while installing Graeme Jones as caretaker boss. The 51-year-old has revealed that he will manage the team for the next two games.
However, in the longer-term, Newcastle want a manager who can keep them in the Premier League.
The 19th-placed club have yet to win this season, with three points coming from draws. Indeed, relegation would set their ambitious project under new ownership back.
Earlier this week, former Roma boss Fonseca emerged as the frontrunner for Newcastle. He impressed board member Amanda Staveley in his interview. As such, she is willing to offer him £6million per season.
