Now that the takeover has been confirmed, it’s time to talk about the shortlist of favorite managers to take on the Newcastle hot seat.
Now that Newcastle has new ownership, it’s time to talk about the shortlist of managers who could take the job next. There are a few coaches who are currently free to coach any club that calls them. Steve Bruce hasn’t done the job that was expected from him and there is a good chance he will get sacked sooner rather than later. Managers who can take the position need to have a deep understanding of the Premier League and the football transfer market in Europe.
The new owners have the goal to hit the ground running as soon as next winter with some world-class transfers possibly coming to the club. Effectively, the Magpies have become the most powerful club in the world if we talk only about money. With a deep pocket coming from Saudi Arabia, we can expect the next manager to spend quite a bit of cash. It has been reported that the coach who comes to take the job will get a €6 billion budget to completely renew the entire squad.
Who is the most likely choice to coach Newcastle United?
According to The Independent, the two most likes managers are Eddie Howe and Chris Wilder. These managers are considered locals and have a great understanding of English football. However, the third option would be Rafael Benitez as he could return to the club for his third spell as the Magpies’ boss. But the Crown Prince wants to get the most impressive manager he can get.
Two of the names who are mentioned the most are former Chelsea coaches with a lot of success with the Blues. One of them is Frank Lampard, who has a large history as a player. But the manager who has the upper hand above the rest doesn’t have a job right now and is considered one of the best in the world. We are talking about Antonio Conte, the reigning Serie A champion. If he comes to coach Newcastle, he will basically have a blank check to sign whoever he wants.
