Newcastle United was recently acquired by Mohammed bin Salman, a billionaire politician from Saudi Arabia. His net worth is around €260B, turning him the richest football club owner. With this amount of money, it was expected for them to sack Bruce and place a coach with a higher profile like Conte, Zidane, or Pirlo, but what are the options that Newcastle has to name as their new coach? Just 13 days behind a new owner Bruce left in mutual consent, and this is the options to replace him:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paulo Fonseca
Paulo Fonseca, the favorite to fill Bruce's shoes is a former Roma and Shakhtar manager who was close to getting appointed at Tottenham last summer. He may not have a huge name that the fans were expecting but his type of football may be exactly what Newcastle needs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Antonio Conte
Antonio Conte, ex Inter and Chelsea manager is also an option to take over St James' Park. He has proved at the highest level and is a safe choice. The Italian has a huge reputation and is also close to joining Manchester United and replacing Solskjaer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucien Favre
Lucien Favre is also on the Radar to coach Newcastle, he is a hugely experienced manager, and could help the locker room during this economical transition the club is having. He would probably be a short-term solution for the Magpies. The Swiss manager speaks fluid English, an aspect to keep in mind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steven Gerrard
The Liverpool legend is also a great candidate, he is more of a gamble because of his little experience managing a club, his first and only team to coach is Rangers Football Club, from the Scottish league, but his talent is clear. He won the league unbeaten last year and won both derbies against Celtic.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graham Potter
Graham Potter, an impressive curriculum with a modern and fast type of football could also join Newcastle. He has unconventional ideas, as his 3-5-2 formation focused on possession. His proposal is interesting and may benefit the now richest football club.
