Newcastle have been linked with a move for Mauricio Pochettino for a while now.
As per Record (via Daily Star), the former Spurs boss could be edging closer to the Newcastle job now.
Apparently, Pochettino has rejected an offer from Portuguese giants Benfica and he is willing to stay out of work for a little longer in order to attract the right move for himself. The report adds that Pochettino wants a job in the top five leagues.
Newcastle are in the middle of a takeover and once the formalities are complete, they are expected to bring in a quality manager and invest in top players.
