Although football is currently on hold, there is no shortage of action at Newcastle United camp. The English media unanimously trumpet that the legendary English club will soon have new owners. It is claimed that for around £300 million, an 80% stake in the club will be bought by a representative of the Saudi Arabian royal family, Mohammed bin Salman. The family's trillion-dollar wealth should contribute to the revival of Newcastle United if negotiations are successful. The tabloids announce that the future leadership of the "Magpies" will shake up the player market as soon as the transfer window opens this year. However, no less important task is to select a new coach. According to "The Sun", basing on bookmakers' forecasts, football experts such as Massimiliano Allegri, Roberto Martinez, Mauricio Pochettino and others are named as candidates to take the helm of Newcastle team. R. Benitez, who has previously worked at the club and, in the opinion of the majority, was wrongfully dismissed by Mike Ashley's decision, is considered the main favorite. Betting companies offer odds of 4.00 for the return of the Spaniard to the coach's seat. M. Allegri unexpectedly finds himself in second place with odds of 7.00. The following names follow: Steven Gerrard (12/1), Sean Dyche, Roberto Martinez, Mauricio Pochettino (all - 14/1) and Eddie Howe (16/1).
