Although Eddie Howe has been the face of the modern revival of Newcastle, a certain change in the global vision of the owners has put a legendary name at the top of their wishlist; Yankee Scores reports on the “tectonic” management change that is currently being considered behind the scenes at St. James Park.

Jose Mourinho might have a sensational comeback to the Premier League with the hierarchy of Newcastle United contemplating a new manager.

Mourinho Emerges as Top Contender

The ex-Chelsea and Manchester United manager is among the top contenders to the Magpies. And in case they decide to part with Eddie Howe this summer, Mourinho is top on the wishlist.

The Geordie faithful are on tenterhooks: Eddie Howe’s reign at Newcastle United is under intense scrutiny. The whispers of a truly monumental change is growing louder. The question is – could Jose Mourinho, the ‘Special One’, be St. James’ Park bound?

This possible management tsunami is shaking the Premier League. The ambitious owners of Newcastle are in need of a leader to take their project to the next level.

The End of a Howe Era?

The atmosphere surrounding St. James Park is tense. Although Eddie Howe is still said to have the support of the board, a poor spell of results has led to a massive increase in fan pressure.

The vision of ordinary European football is fading. Newcastle’s Saudi owners are targeting a manager with an international profile.

Yankee Scores gathered that the owners of the club are not only considering options, but Howe himself may be contemplating his future. Should he believe that he has stretched this squad to its breaking point, a respectable departure might be in the offing, which would pave the way to a tectonic change of management at Newcastle United.

The Portuguese maestro is currently in charge of Benfica. He has never been afraid of his love of the Premier League and, in particular, Newcastle. His mythical relationship with Sir Bobby Robson created an enduring attachment to the North East.
