Newcastle have set a deadline of the next international break to have a new manager in charge at St James’ Park, a report has claimed.
The Magpies search for Steve Bruce’s successor is still ongoing, despite several hints at progress. Indeed, a number of names have had mentions as targets and some have gone a step further.
Former Roma boss Paulo Fonseca reportedly impressed in his interview. He outlined his plan for five January loan signings and therefore believes he may get the job.
However, other names remain in the frame. Talk of Ajax’s Erik Ten Hag moving to Newcastle has grown stronger in recent days.
The Magpies reportedly have a plan to tempt him to the club by snapping up Ajax’s director of football Marc Overmars. The pair have a strong working relationship, not just from within the Dutch giants.
