Newcastle United are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world following their takeover and they plan to win major trophies and build a formidable squad in the coming seasons.
Football Insider claims that they are taking a keen interest in bringing Jose Mourinho to the club and the Portuguese manager is very keen on the job as well.
Eddie Howe is under a lot of pressure right now after a series of disappointing performances from his side. Newcastle were expected to push for Champions League qualification this season, but they have dropped to 9th in the league table. The Magpies have lost four of the last five matches across all competitions, and a club with their resources should be doing better.
If things do not improve quickly, Howe could easily find himself out of a job and it will be interesting to see if the Newcastle owners can convince Mourinho to take over.
The 60-year-old has proven himself in the Premier League in the past. He has won multiple trophies with clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United. The former Premier League winning manager is a proven winner at the highest level and he has won the biggest trophies in club football.
He has the experience of managing the biggest clubs in the world as well and Newcastle could certainly benefit from his quality, experience and mentality.
The opportunity to return to England can be quite tempting and therefore it is no surprise that Mourinho is very keen on taking the Newcastle job. With the right backing in the transfer market, there is no reason why a world class manager like him cannot turn them into title contenders.
Would Magpie fans embrace the turgid football he will serve up? I doubt it. Mourinho is not up to the job these days.
The opportunity to return to England would be purely for money and the chance to beat Spurs.
No thanks
I agree wholeheartedly with you. The chosen one is no longer up to the required standard, just the Italians!
He’ll also bring you less entertaining foot ball ? If you remember a George Graham style ? Hitting teams on the break after defending for periods of the game and it took a French man to show that club how the game can be played and still win things ?
If he does take over as the manager of Toon I could see him attracting the better quality players which has to be a good thing for the club
mr lovehimself no good for us we already have the pest dont need the pest
Past his best I’ll not support Newcastle if he goes there.
He only wants a job to get sacked again for another big payout
Is this the year they sang boring boring arsenal and 1-0 to the Arsenal!
This is not a job he can buy success with without breaking FFP, if our hands weren’t tied by this, I believe Eddie could do the same, it’s always been said it’s a long term project and not a quick buy to win
Total shite journalism he is trying to get job in Saudi Arabia
The media have Howe sacked allready for a big name to fill his boots shame like Howe Everton fan…..
