The latest Newcastle United exclusive reveals that the club will be keeping close tabs on Jose Mourinho over the next few weeks after he was sacked by Roma on Tuesday (16th Jan).
Jose Mourinho Admired By Newcastle With Pressure On Eddie Howe
Jose Mourinho’s Roma sacking will lead to increased scrutiny around Eddie Howe’s job security at Newcastle United. While fans remain totally onside with Howe there has been a feeling within the game that the manager is entering a key time in his tenure at St James’ Park.
Newcastle have been in bad form across the last ten matches, with their only wins coming against ten-man Fulham and Championship side Sunderland.
There is still an expectation that Howe will be given the rest of this season at Newcastle, but well-informed figures with a good insight on the situation have hinted recently that they believe a managerial change is becoming possible for the summer.
And news of Mourinho’s availability on the market is going to bring that idea more firmly into view.
Howe has done a fantastic job in the early stages of Newcastle’s dream to become one of the world’s biggest clubs under their Saudi ownership. Yet the ambition remains sky-high and the likelihood has always been that a marquee name would eventually land in the dugout.
Mourinho Could Be Key To Newcastle Winning Silverware
Jose has a winning mentality that Newcastle crave, having not won major silverware since lifting the FA Cup in 1955.
The Special One also has a magnetism to attract top names to the club and grow the team’s global profile – which is going to become important over the next five years.
Mourinho has previously seemed unlikely to return to the Premier League but there is also an emotional pull at Newcastle, given it was the home club of his mentor Bobby Robson.
