Newcastle United have joined the race for in-demand managerial target Ruben Amorim as they might seek a replacement for Eddie Howe.
Team Talk insists Newcastle Untied could consider Ruben Amorim as their next manager, with the Magpies open to the possibility of replacing Eddie Howe in the close season. The 39-year-old manager has been on the radar of clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool, with the Magpies now entering the conversation.
Newcastle United eye Ruben Amorim’s move
Things have yet to go to plan at Newcastle United, as they are nowhere close to the success achieved under Eddie Howe last season. The Magpies qualified for the Champions League but were eliminated at the group stages, while they are far behind in the race to finish in the top four.
While Howe has plenty of reasons by his side, such as a lengthy injury list he had to deal with for most parts, as well as the loss of form in some of his key stars. Either way, the Premier League club and their Saudi-based owners may feel the Englishman may need to be a better candidate to take them forward, which could see him leave the side.
Chelsea and Liverpool, target Ruben Amorin, has emerged on Newcastle’s radar ahead of the summer as they could view the 39-year-old manager as one of the candidates to replace Howe. The Portuguese man has shone at Sporting CP and could be on the move in the summer.
Newcastle United might view the 39-year-old manager as someone with progressive ideas ideal enough for their squad, which has a lot of younger players. Signing Amorim will be a difficult task for the Magpies as they are not alone in the race, but they could feel confident enough to present the 39-year-old manager with a brilliant project to consider.
Ruben Amorim in demand
Liverpool were linked with Amorim as soon as Jurgen Klopp announced his intention to leave in the summer. Chelsea are also keen as they might sack Mauricio Pochettino after some dismal performances, as they also had Amorim on their shortlist before they appointed the Argentine.
Barcelona also views the 39-year-old manager as an option to replace Xavi Hernandez, and there are other sides in the mix as well. Overall, Amorim will likely have plenty of offers to consider in the summer. However, he might wait until the season ends to evaluate his options and choose a new chapter in his career.
