The third person in the Premier League?The local tyrant team considered firing Eddie Howe after 4 defeats in the last 5 rounds, and the La Liga god coach replaced
In the Premier League this season, two clubs, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest, have changed managers halfway, and a third club considering a change of manager has also surfaced.
On January 4, Beijing time, a report from the well-known British media "Daily Mail" said that Newcastle, a local team in the English Premier League, is seriously considering whether to fire coach Eddie Howe and replace it with La Liga Girona coach Michel Sanchez.
As a cutting-edge "local tyrant team" with Saudi Arabian tycoon investment, Newcastle, which entered the Champions League last season, has performed poorly after multi-front battles this season, and is at the bottom of the Champions League group stage, while the league has lost 4 of the last 5 rounds. In particular, the loss to Luton Town and Nottingham Forest, two relegation teams, made manager Eddie Howe even more questionable. At present, Newcastle has only 29 points from 20 rounds and is in 9th place in the league. Eddie Howe's performance was even worse than that of the much-maligned Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
It is reported that the Newcastle boss is considering sacking Eddie Howe 'very seriously' and handing the seal to Girona boss Charles Michel, who is considered a strong candidate to replace him if Eddie Howe is removed.
This season, Michel led the dark horse Girona to soar in La Liga. After beating Atletico Madrid 4-3 in this round, Girona has tied the points of leaders Real Madrid. Michelle's abilities have earned him widespread recognition, and he has also entered the radar of several big clubs in Europe.
La Liga giants Barcelona are considering replacing Xavi with the former Rayo Vallecano boss, while Girona's ties with Manchester City could also see Michel as a replacement for Pep Guardiola. For now, Newcastle intend to take the lead and grab people with a generous annual salary. After Girona's great success, Michel is also expected to become another Spanish coach in the Premier League after Pep Guardiola, Arteta and Unai Emery.
