Unai Emery will remain coach of Villarreal CF. After the information that came from England in which they placed the Spanish coach very close to becoming Steve Bruce’s replacement at the helm of Newcastle, with the Magpies willing to pay his termination clause of € 6M, the technician of the yellow submarine issued a statement on his personal Twitter account confirming his continuity at the head of the groguet bench. That is why, with Emery’s option ruled out, Newcastle would welcome the ‘low cost’ option they had alongside that of the Spaniard at the negotiating table: Eddie Howe.
The English technician, as reported talkSPORT, has become the main favorite to land on the Newcastle bench. In the case of the portal Football Insider, this affirms that “a total agreement has not yet been reached”, but the conversations are advanced. Despite the fact that Howe accumulates more than a year away from the benches once he left Bournemouth in August 2020 after almost 8 years in charge of the team and 355 games, his background at the head of the Cherries soon placed him in the league. candidate list. And is that Howe was named the best coach of the decade of the Football League (includes Championship, League One and League Two) after managing to lead Bournemouth from the fourth division of English football to the Premier League.

Despite the good work that the Briton did at the helm of Bournemouth, a team that currently plays in the English second division, the new Newcastle directive has several names of greater international renown in the bedroom, such as Roberto Martínez, current coach of Belgium; or Paulo Fonseca, former Roma coach who came close to signing for Tottenham before the arrival of Nuno Espírito Santo. Although there are English media that speak of Rafa Benítez, Everton coach who was already in charge of Newcastle for three seasons, also as a candidate, the return of the Spanish coach, who recently arrived in Liverpool this year to direct Everton, has long since been in charge of Newcastle. Benítez himself ruled out that possibility.
