Villarreal president Fernando Roig has insisted that he does not think manager Unai Emery will leave and move to Newcastle.
The Magpies have endured a long search for Steve Bruce’s successor, but their deadline for doing so is drawing closer. Indeed, the club reportedly want a new coach in ahead of the international break from next week.
While the likes of Paulo Fonseca and Lucien Favre once looked like firm candidates, links with them have now faded.
Instead, former Arsenal boss Emery has now emerged as the most likely candidate to take up the job. The Spaniard also reportedly has his first January signing in mind.
However, Villarreal president Roig has insisted that he thinks Emery will stay put and said he has not heard of any approach from Newcastle.
