Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard linked with the Newcastle managerial job
Newcastle United have been linked with multiple managers since their takeover went through and Steve Bruce is expected to be relieved of his duties before the end of the season. According to reports from the Telegraph, the likes of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are potential candidates to replace Bruce at St. James’ park. The Magpies are currently languishing in 19th place and it is hardly surprising that the new owners are already looking to get rid of Bruce and bring in better managers. It has been reported that the Magpies are planning to bring in quality players as well and they will have to bring in a managerial upgrade as well.

Antonio Conte not keen to become manager at Newcastle United
Antonio Conte, who was most recently the manager of Inter Milan, is reportedly not interested to become the next boss at Newcastle United. The current Magpies’ manager Steve Bruce is said to be in an uncertain position after the club’s £300 million takeover by the Saudi Arabian-backed consortium. The new owners are said to be keen on hiring a new football coach to turn the Tyneside club into serious Premier League challengers. And Antonio Conte is reportedly one of the obvious names for the job, given his success with many top European clubs in the past. The 52-year-old has the distinction of winning many prestigious titles with Juventus, Chelsea and most recently Inter Milan. Given the financial might of the Magpies now, the former Blues boss could expect to ...
