Newcastle United are considering hiring a La Liga manager to replace Eddie Howe.
Girona manager Michel Sanchez will be in high demand after the season, and the Premier League’s richest team has taken notice of his outstanding work.
Despite just achieving promotion two seasons ago, the Catalan side has astonished Spain this year and will enter the 2024 level with Real Madrid at the top of the table.
While there has been no indication that it will happen soon, Michel has been tipped as Pep Guardiola’s long-term successor at Manchester City – the two are, of course, linked by the City Football Group.
Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Michel has been touted several times as a possible replacement for Xavi Hernandez next summer, should President Joan Laporta lose faith in him. Girona, in any case, will have to work hard to keep him.
Newcastle United, according to Marca, are the latest club to explore him for a future post. Eddie Howe was warmly praised for qualifying Newcastle for the Champions League last season, and despite the fact that injuries have been a big issue, the Magpies are currently in free decline.
With them currently sitting ninth in the Premier League and finishing bottom of their Champions League group, they are likely to miss out on Europe entirely next season.
Newcastle are seriously considering him as a replacement for Howe, according to the Madrid-based newspaper. The Premier League is now dominated by Spanish coaches, with three of the top four sides coached by La Liga exports.
