"Newcastle United" to "Crystal Palace" following Alan Pardew's departure would like to replace him with former "Mainz" coach Thomas Tuchel, as reported by The Guardian.
The German left his former club in May and is currently on vacation. Tuchel is considered one of the most innovative strategists in the field of tactics.
The 41-year-old specialist meets the requirements of "Magpies" owner Mike Ashley, but has decided not to take on any work until summer. It is not clear whether the "Newcastle" officials will be able to convince the German to come to the "Premier" league already this winter.
Tuchel managed the "Mainz" team since the summer of 2009, and at the end of last season he was sought after by Gelsenkirchen's "Schalke" and Leverkusen's "Bayer". Last year, the club led by the strategist finished in seventh place in the "Bundesliga" and earned the right to compete in the UEFA Europa League.
