Conte won’t accept the Newcastle job until next summer
Since Steve Bruce parted ways with Newcastle by mutual consent, his favorite replacement at St. James’ Park is Antonio Conte, but the Italian tactician may not accept the job before the summer.
“
Newcastle United can confirm that Steve Bruce has left his position as head coach by mutual consent,”
an official statement read.
“Graeme Jones will lead the team on an interim basis, starting with the trip to Crystal Palace.”
Following PIF’s takeover of the club, Newcastle can afford to sign top players and coaches. As per many reports in Italy and England,
Antonio Conte
emerges as a candidate for the role.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, the tactician is not willing to accept a new offer before the season ends.
Conte does not like to accept a job when the season is ongoing and Newcastle may have to look elsewhere for an immediate replacement.
Based on reports from Alfredo Pedullà, the Italian will demand a salary of about of £15-20m and more than three or four top signings.
La Gazzetta dello Sport
claims that the ex-midfielder is an option for Newcastle.
