ESPN pundit Don Hutchison believes Massimiliano Allegri would turn down the opportunity of managing Newcastle United as he is ‘destined for bigger and better things’.
The Magpies are currently on the verge of a takeover with Mike Ashley having agreed on a deal worth £300m to transfer the ownership to PCP Capital Partners.
This has already led to the speculation that Steve Bruce could be replaced with a high-profile manager and ex-Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is believed to hold an interest in the role.
Speaking on the ESPN FC show, Hutchison said that Lucien Favre (Borussia Dortmund) and Pochettino are the genuine managerial candidates and the latter could be the ideal head coach for the Magpies.
