After his 27-month spell at St. James' Park, Steve Bruce is no longer in charge of Newcastle United. The club's new owners have higher expectations and they are ready to make huge investments to see the desired result. The appointment of The Magpies' new boss is the first step in their plans, and now some names have already been linked with the team. Let's take a look at six possible candidates that could take the managerial job at Newcastle United, taking into consideration Vbet odds.

5. Steven Gerrard

Ex-Liverpool man and current Rangers boss has been eyed by various clubs, with both Newcastle and Aston Villa being on the list. Since being appointed as Glasgow team's new boss, Gerrard's stats were truly impressive. His side's European record was 24 wins, 15 draws, and only six defeats in 45 games. While Gerrard could be considered as a future Liverpool boss, one of the world's best former midfielders could try his best in the Premier League earlier, joining the Magpies.

Reports in Germany link the Borussia Dortmund boss with a job at Newcastle United. Under the 63-year-old manager, Hertha Berlin advanced their position from 12th to fourth within two seasons, Borussia Monchengladbach avoided relegation in Bundesliga, while Dortmund secured second place behind German giants Bayern Munich.

Roberto Martinez is already familiar with the Premier League. He has experienced relegation with Wigan, though lifting the FA Cup trophy with them in 2013. Later he moved to Everton, while currently, he is in charge of the Belgium national team. The Red Devils are five points clear at the top of Group E, and two more points would secure their place in Qatar 2022.

2. Paulo Fonseca

Fonseca has also been named among the favorites to make a move to St. James' Park amid Aston Villa interest. The Portuguese boss' tactics especially worked well when he managed the Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk back in 2016. He could guide his side into a league and cup double win in each of his three years at the club.

Newcastle board are interested in the 48-year-old for a potential appointment, the rest is yet to be seen. Image Source: Getty Images

1. Eddie Howe

Howe is reportedly on a two-man shortlist for the Newcastle job. He is currently without a club after being sacked by Bournemouth following the club's relegation to the Championship in August 2020. However, it should be noted that it was him that helped the Cherries to advance to the Premier League from the bottom of League Two for the first time in the club's history back in 2008. The 43-year-old used to work with Callum Wilson, Ryan Fraser, and Matt Ritchie, so it would be easier for him to link up with the players once he joins Newcastle. Image Source: Getty Images
