Dalian Professional manager Rafa Benitez has been linked with an interest in becoming Newcastle United boss post-takeover, with the Spaniard reportedly eyeing an emotional return to St. James’ Park.
The Magpies are expected to have new owners this week, with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund looking to complete a £300 million takeover.
Their bid is being fronted by Amanda Staveley’s PCP Capital Partners, and the businesswoman is a huge fan of Benitez.
The former Newcastle manager is very popular with the fans, and a lot of them would love to see the Champions League-winning tactician return.
