Steve Bruce sees the writing on the wall, and history has indicated when takeovers of this kind have happened before the first out the door are the underwhelming managers these owners inherit. Bruce with very little case, has Newcastle in 19th place and on the road towards relegation with rumors from AS stating he could be fired as early as next week.

Newcastle will be changing a lot of things over the next few years, the first is how they invest and purchase talent as a substantial upgrade is expected, they will also try to have the right manager calling the shots once the cash starts being spent, here are the reported managers Newcastle is said to be looking at.

Steven Gerrard

Steven Gerrard is currently with Glasgow Rangers in Scotland and recently won the Scottish Premier League, with very little left to do at Rangers a move back to the bright lights of England could be in the cards for the former LA Galaxy and England midfielder. Gerrard was once rumored to be in consideration for the Newcastle job a few seasons back.

Antonio Conte

Antonio Conte is on the shortlist of almost every team with a coaching vacancy and money. Conte would bring credibility to the Newcastle project and would be able to sway players to take a chance and call Newcastle home. If one thing these projects have proven before, despite the big money takeovers, it takes time for big names to make that leap of faith. A good manager is an important start to go A-list.

Frank Lampard

Frank Lampard had a disastrous run as Chelsea manager, and Newcastle is the right job for a second chance. Lampard showed a lot of courage and had a good run at Chelsea but the weight of managing a big club with big ambitions eventually caved in on him. Will Newcastle take that gamble?

Brendan Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers is one of the most solid coaches in the UK, and if Newcastle want to tackle getting the best in the Premier League before trying to get the best in global soccer, Brendan Rodgers could be that nexus. Rodgers is a big club manager and Newcastle would provide new ground and a chance to build the squad he wants with near limitless resources.

Spurs would have made the effort, as it might be the only way for them to finally achieve titles. Paying exorbitant figures to big-name players or coaches not always proves to bethe onlyway to reach the top, but many times it pays off.

If not, just take a look at the list of the best-paid managers in the league, according to The Sun. Not all of them had succeeded as expected, but they have earned the right to receive such wages. Moreover, it would besafe to say that some of these deserve to be paid even more.

6. Thomas Tuchel (Chelsea)

Annual salary: $8.5 million

The Champions League-winningcoach has seen an increase in his salary after leading Chelsea to European glory. The German boss originally signed an 18-month deal in January which had an extension optionshould the Blues won the continental prize. Still, it seems like Thomas Tuchel deserves a bigger reward, which he might earn if his teamkeeps on succeeding.

5. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (Manchester United)

Annual salary: $9 million

The club idol has strengthened himself at the position after impressing in his first months replacing José Mourinho at the end of the 2018/19 season. Even though Manchester United had setbacks and failed to claim trophies in Solskjaer’s era so far, the Swedish coach has been securing Champions League soccer for them and the upcoming season mightbe crucial for his future.

4. Marcelo Bielsa (Leeds United)

Annual salary: $9.7 million

The highly praisedArgentine coach has been granted a lucrative wage in Leeds United even though that has not beenhis priority throughout his career. After taking the Whitesback to the English top-flight for the first time in 16 years, Marcelo Bielsa gotthe recognition he deservedat Elland Road and he is expected to stay for at least one more season in charge of the team.

3. Brendan Rodgers (Leicester City)

Annual salary: $12 million

Brendan Rodgers has redeemed himself in the Premier League with Leicester City. His tenure at Liverpool didn’t end well and he had to start from scratch in Celtic before returning to England. The Foxes couldn’t be happier with him, as the 48-year-old boss led them to their first FA Cup triumph in history and was also close to getting them into the top-four last season.

2. Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool)

Annual salary: $18 million

Klopp, 53, hasbrought glory days back toLiverpoolleading them to two straight UEFA Champions League finals, winning the second one, and turning them into an unstoppable force in the Premier League 2019/20, in which the Reds were crowned for the first time since the tournament’s inception in 1992.Last season wasn’t the best at Anfield, though, and they have plenty of work to do to bounce back.

1. Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)

Annual salary: $24 million

One of the best managers on the planet – and for many people one that haschanged the game forever – Pep Guardiola was appointed by Manchester City to make them one of the most powerful sides in the world, a task he has certainly accomplished so far. He couldn’tfulfill the club’s main obsession, though, which is securing its first Champions League trophy. His squad came up short recently, but he still has two more years of contract to keep on chasing that long-awaited goal.

According to various news sources in England, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is already thinking about replacing the three-time Premier League winner. A change would be costly as Mourinho has two years left on his current deal, but according to sources the upper management at the club are not satisfied with where Spurs is at.

José Mourinho’s career as a manager is nothing short than hall of fame, but his most recent stints at Manchester United and now Spurs have been the lowest in terms of championships. The Special One has not won any silverware with Spurs and only managed three second tier titles at Manchester United. Here are the possible 5 candidates to replace Mourinho at Spurs!

Brendan Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers has done an amazing job at Leicester City as the Foxes sit third in the Premier League and eliminated Manchester United in the FA Cup this past weekend. Rodgers almost won a Premier League title with Liverpool and is one of the best managers in England.

Massimiliano Allegri

Timing is everything and former AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri just stated to the media that he’d love to return to coaching. Allegri last coached Juventus to 11 titles during his five years in charge of the Italian Old Lady.

Julian Nagelsmann

The current RB Leipzig manager, Julian Nagelsmann has done wonders with the German club. At 33 he would be a gamble for a club like Spurs but as one of the best young managers in Europe, Nagelsmann plays a much more fluid style than Mourinho’s and is the kind of soccer Spurs fans like.

Rafa Benitez

Rafa Benitez has a resume that would make him a no-brainer to coach Spurs if need be. The question is if he still has it? At Liverpool and in his heyday the Spanish coach won the Champions League, FA Cup and UEFA Super Cup. Benitez last coached in China and may not be the first choice for the Spurs brass.

Ralph Hasenhutt

This one looks like a long shot, but the Southampton boss is looked upon with good eyes at the Spurs boardroom as they see him as a new kind of Mauricio Pochettino given the right personnel. The question is, how does the Spurs brass convince a fanbase that a manager near relegation is the right man to manage Tottenham?
