# Newcastle United: Fans destroy Andre Villas-Boas as he responds to manager link

**Loads of Newcastle United fans have been destroying former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas after he responded to reports linking him with the manager job at NUFC.**

As per [Foot Mercato](https://www.footmercato.net/a4498301535794977366-exclu-fm-andre-villas-boas-et-lucien-favre-en-cas-dechec-de-la-piste-mauricio-pochettino) the 42-year old, as well as Lucien Favre, has been lined up as a potential alternative if the Tyneside club are unable to persuade Mauricio Pochettino to take over from Steve Bruce at St. James’ Park.

However, AVB has played down suggestions that he could become the club’s next coach, as he told [RMC Sport](https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/) (via [ChronicleLive](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-takeover-saint-maximin-18199460)) that he does not want to return to the Premier League.

Indeed, the Portuguese boss has managed 81 games in the top flight, winning 42, drawing 19 and losing 20, with his teams scoring 128 goals and conceding 99, accumulating 145 points in the process, according to [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.com/andre-villas-boas/leistungsdatenDetail/trainer/1696/plus/0?saison_id=&verein_id=&liga=&wettbewerb_id=GB1&trainer_id=).

These members of the Toon faithful destroyed the link on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/ChronicleNUFC/status/1257739207457603586), with a couple of Magpies suggesting that they would rather have Bruce or ex-manager Alan Pardew at the wheel:
