According to L’Equipe (via GFFN), Marseille manager Andre Villas-Boas has rejected an offer to succeed Steve Bruce at Newcastle United.
The former Tottenham Hotspur boss is on the radar of the Magpies’ prospective new owners as they look to make major changes to the squad once their £300 million takeover goes through.
However, Villas-Boas currently has plans to see out the remaining 12 months on his contract at the Ligue 1 outfit despite being offered a considerably better salary by the would-be Newcastle owners.
While one ex-Spurs boss has turned them down, another could be taking up the offer and is widely seen as favourite for the job.
