https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-new-manager-lampard-fonseca-25280445According to Mirror, Paulo Fonseca could be the new manager of Newcastle after their sacking Steve Bruce a few days ago. Fonseca's last club were Roma. And Roma didn't have a very good season before this one. But Fonseca is still a decent manager I believe. But I would prefer to see Gerrard or Emery here rather than Fonseca. I believe that those options would be better for Newcastle's future. Especially Gerrard knows Premier League teams much better.
No way, Newcastle will have to aim to the top - it's way easier to get a good manager to commit to the club than a good player when the team is bad. Fonseca has shown some good patches as a coach but I highly doubt that he's the kind of profile that Newcastle will be looking at.
There is too much speculation about Newcastle's manager (I heard about Marc Overmars too). but like Guardiola said to build a team not only a manager for needed but all squads must be fixed. Newcastle has to lot of squad problems, all line. Jones as interim coach, only able to play draw vs Crystal place, Newcastle still on Degradation zone without any winning. if they aren't available to buy any players on winter windows transfer, the new owner will have a big disadvantage, i.e. playing on division 1 on the next session.
Newcastle to become a strong team does need a lot of changes in all sectors, in addition to the coach and players that must be improved,
Newcastle must fix other sectors including management and directors. Marc Overmars is a strong candidate for director of football, and Paulo Fonseca
as strong candidates to fill the coach. If these two great men succeed in bringing in Newcastle, I think it will make a big difference for Newcastle.
We know how Ajax's performance is currently so extraordinary, it is not only the contribution of Erik ten Hag as a coach, but also the role of
Marc Overmars as director of football for Ajax is quite large. Then many people doubt the ability of Paulo Fonseca, even though if we look at his
overall track record as a coach is quite good. Indeed, when he became coach of Roma did not give any trophy, but when he was coach of
Shakhtar Donetsk for three seasons he managed to give 7 trophies for Shakhtar Donetsk. So if Fonseca becomes Newcastle coach that's a good thing,
I believe Fonseca can get Newcastle out of the relegation zone.
