Paulo Fonseca appears to be readying himself for a move to English football amid links to both Newcastle United and Tottenham.
Spurs joined the Magpies in the search for a new manager after sacking Nuno Espirito Santo on Monday. The Portuguese tactician had been in charge for just for months but failed to make the expected impact. Former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is favourite and reportedly in advanced talks to take over at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Fonseca’s name has also been mentioned. But the 48-year-old has been heavily linked with the Magpies vacancy, which is still open following Steve Bruce’s exit.
Newcastle co-owner Amanda Staveley recently hinted at a “positive change” in the club’s pursuit of a new manager. And Fonseca could be the man they are after.
The former Roma chief was scheduled to speak at the Web Summit Sportstrade conference in the Portuguese capital Lisbon on Tuesday.
