Newcastle’s owners reportedly have a plan in mind to convince manager target Erik ten Hag to leave Ajax, amid his major fear about the job.
The Magpies have still not found their long-term successor to Steve Bruce, who got the sack earlier this month. The Magpies’ Saudi-led consortium of owners want a manager who can keep them in the Premier League, before building from there.
Former Roma manager Paulo Fonseca looked to be the leading candidate at one stage.
However, ex-Dortmund boss Lucien Favre is also reportedly on Newcastle’s radar. Now, though, Ten Hag has not gone away as a consideration.
Still, the Sunday Mirror reports that Newcastle will have to do something spectacular to convince him to leave Ajax.
