Still without a coach and having already dismissed Steve Bruce, Newcastle now turn to Erik Ten Hag, coach of Ajax, Sporting’s Champions League opponent.
According to the newspaper Daily Mail, the club is ready to offer him a huge contract, which would make him the third highest paid coach in the Premier League, just behind Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) and Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool).
According to the same source, awaiting him will be an annual salary of 11 million pounds (13 million euros), about 7 million euros after tax.
O Daily Mail he says, however, that the 51-year-old Dutch coach will have some reservations about leaving the Ajax project for an adventure at Newcastle, without quite knowing what his role will be. Remember that the magpies are in the penultimate position with just four points added in 9 games.
Paulo Fonseca, Roberto Martinez, Frank Lampard and Lucien Favre are also in the race.
Interim coach Graeme Jones will also guide the team over the weekend against Chelsea.
