Porto Manager Sergio Conceicao 'Interested' in Replacing Rafa Benitez at Newcastle

FC Porto manager Sergio Conceicao is 'interested' in succeeding Rafa Benitez as the next manager of Newcastle.

On Monday, it was revealed that the Magpies would not be renewing Benitez's contract, after failing in their attempts to tie him down to a new deal at the club following three years in charge.

Since then, the hunt for a successor has been on, with plenty of names - including Mikel Arteta, Jose Mourinho, Claudio Ranieri and David Moyes - linked with the job.

The latest of these is the Porto boss, who has made his interest in the position known, according to a report from Sky Sports.
