Newcastle United fans here in the Tavern are delighted with the Magpies’ current league position, as they appear to be heading for another season in the Premier League.
The Magpies will be hoping they can move on from this season’s disasters by securing another season in the Premier League, after giving supporters very little to shout about so far this campaign. Although, their last top-flight encounter certainly raised hopes at St James’ Park, as they picked up a huge three points at the expense of Southampton.
However, there’s still doubts surrounding Rafa Benitez’s future at the club as their Premier League status for next season is still yet to be confirmed, with Mike Ashley still playing in the back of the Spaniard’s mind. Indeed, the 57-year-old has been less than impressed with the lack of funds that the Newcastle owner has provided, and has conflicting thoughts on whether he wants to remain on Tyneside at the end of the season.
Therefore, with Benitez looking for a possible exit at the end of the current campaign, the Magpies may need to start weighing up options from elsewhere as preparation will be required for next season. So, here’s a look at TWO managers that Newcastle should consider…
Eddie Howe
Eddie Howe is one of the most promising young English managers in the game, after a number of successful seasons with current club Bournemouth.
Indeed, the 40-year-old was crowned the Premier League Manager of the Month for January as his hard work hasn’t gone unseen, with the Cherries set for a fourth successive season in the top-flight.
Therefore, Newcastle United should consider Eddie Howe to provide growth at the club with a number of proven signings, as a manager that can ensure progression at the highest level of English football.
Brendan Rodgers
Brendan Rodgers has undoubtedly been one of the most impressive managers in world football over the past couple of seasons, as he remains on course for a treble in the current campaign at Celtic Park.
Indeed, Celtic broke a domestic record by going 69-games unbeaten in emphatic style, as the Northern Irishman has guaranteed the club silverware and plenty of enjoyment since being appointed back in 2016.
Although, there’s no doubt that Rodgers would love a return to the English Premier League after come up short during his time at Liverpool, with Newcastle United offering the perfect opportunity for him to grow and progress in the managerial world.
