According to le10sport, Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino is very close to signing a deal to become new Newcastle United manager, with negotiations between him and the club’s would-be owners at a very advanced stage.
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund are edging close to securing a £300 million takeover of the St. James’ Park outfit, and boss Steve Bruce isn’t expected to be in charge next season.
Former Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez is also on their radar, but it appears that Pochettino is now huge favourites to succeed Bruce.
The report claims that the ex-Spurs boss is almost guaranteed to become the next Magpies boss, with only a late change of heart between both parties the only obstacle than can stop it from happening.
