Former AC Milan, Rangers and Italy midfielder Gennaro Gattuso is the latest high-profile name being ‘considered’ by Newcastle to become their next manager.
Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb claim super agent Jorge Mendes has been ‘pushing’ for the former Milan and Napoli boss to take over at the Magpies.
And the report claims their position in the bottom three of the Premier League ‘discourages a top profile’ coach from joining them now.
Gattuso - who has been out of work since leaving Napoli last season - is wiling to join on a short-term deal in a bid to steer the club out of trouble.
