Newcastle United are on the hunt for a new manager.

According to The Mirror (print edition, page 73, June 29, 2019), Newcastle United Managing Director Lee Charnley wants to appoint a new manager before the players fly out to China next month.

Newcastle will fly out to China the week after next, and the Magpies reportedly plan to have Rafael Benitez’s successor by then.

The Premier League club’s Managing Director Charnley plans to hold personal meetings with several managerial candidates before then, according to the report.

Newcastle are on the hunt for a new manager following the announcement that Benitez will leave the Magpies at the end of the month when his current contract runs out.

Big decision

Benitez was a massive success at Newcastle, and with a limited budget, the former Liverpool and Chelsea manager made sure that the Magpies stayed up in the Premier League for two successive seasons.

It is going to be really tough for the Magpies to find as good a manager as Benitez. and it will be interesting to see who gets the role at St. James’ Park.
