According to Sky Sports, Newcastle United head coach Steve Bruce is set to remain in charge till the end of the season as the club’s would-be owners want to give him a chance to prove he can lead the team to Europe post-takeover.
The likes of Mauricio Pochettino, Max Allegri and Rafa Benitez have all been linked with the Newcastle job as a £300 million takeover by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund edges closer, but none of them has been approached yet as they want Bruce to prove his worth.
The Toons are currently 13th in the Premier League table after nine victories, eight draws and 12 losses in 29 games.
