Newcastle United are aiming to unveil their new manager during the upcoming international break – and a new favourite has emerged to take the job.

Plenty of coaches seem to be intrigued by the prospect of leading Newcastle into a new era. Paulo Fonseca was a frontrunner for the job and had a plan to make five transformative signings in January.
He was then overtaken in the owners’ order of preference by Lucien Favre, who was said to find the job an “enticing” proposition.
