Newcastle's board is expected to make a final recommendation to chairman Yasir Al Rumayyan this week to get the new manager started working during the international match day, the Daily Telegraph reported.
According to the Daily Telegraph, despite disappointing performances against Crystal Palace and Chelsea, Graeme Jones is expected to continue coaching the team in next weekend's game against Brighton. But this game will be his last as interim manager, and everyone at St James' Park has realised that given the club's dangerous league status, there is an urgent need to appoint Steve Bruce's permanent successor.
Although some people criticize the progress of the selection process too slowly, there are many competitive voices in the consortium, and each has its own candidate, so the selection process inevitably becomes complicated. However, this week should be accelerated, the interview for the new manager is about to be completed, and the final decision will be made at the board meeting before the weekend. Subsequently, the proposal will be submitted to the "PIF" (Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund) for signature, and then a quick agreement will be reached with the preferred candidate.
Martinez, a former Everton and Wigan Athletic manager and now head coach of the Belgian national team, has become a favourite with bookmakers. Sources told the Daily Telegraph that he was interested in accepting the job. But the Catalan is also torn between whether he should continue to coach Belgium until next year's World Cup in Qatar. He has been linked to many Premier League vacancies since the 2018 World Cup but has not left the Belgian national team from start to finish. Former Chelsea captains John Terry and Frank Lampard were also asked if they were suitable for the position, while former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe, former Borussia Dortmund boss Falfo and former Roma boss Fonseca were all candidates for the new manager.
Overmars, who currently serves as Ajax' director of football, is considered Newcastle's first choice for a similar role. It would also help Newcastle bring Innhach (the current Ajax manager) to coach, but It's unlikely that Tenhach will leave Ajax before next summer.
It is reported that Newcastle's first choice is to appoint a coach who is currently unemployed and has Premier League coaching experience, and the team is currently under great pressure to relegate and cannot let a coach who has not coached in the Premier League familiarize himself with English football on the job.
