Graeme Souness neuer Manager von Newcastle

[Savio]

Graeme Souness has quit as Blackburn manager to take over at Newcastle, BBC Sport can confirm.

Blackburn have revealed Souness has left Ewood Park and that he has agreed terms to succeed Sir Bobby Robson.

Newcastle had targeted Birmingham's Steve Bruce and Aston Villa manager David O'Leary, while talks were held with Terry Venables.

But the former Rangers and Liverpool manager is set to be officially unveiled at St James' Park on Monday.

O'Leary appeared to be favourite for the job after Bruce insisted he would be staying at St Andrews.

But Souness, regarded as an outsider for the post, is poised to take over at the troubled Tyneside club after talks with chairman Freddy Shepherd.

If Souness's appointment is confirmed in time, his first game in charge will be against his former club Blackburn at St James' Park on Saturday.

War für mich eigentlich schon eine Überraschung. Ich ging fest davon aus, dass David O'Leary den Job übernehmen würde.

na hoffentlich gelingt ihm am samstag schon der erste sieg gegen seinem ex-klub, bei dem er immerhin 4 jahre tätig war.

Ich hoffe er gewinnt für allem gegen einen ganz anderen Ex-Klub! Gemeint ist derjenige, bei dem er bisher überhaupt am längsten war!

So tief sitzt dir die Angst vor uns schon im Nacken ?

Aber ich hoffe für Newcastle, dass er dort als Manager bessere Arbeit als bei Liverpool leistet, denn als Spieler unbestritten Weltklasse, war seine Karriere als Coach eher durchwachsen . Vor allem die Geschichte rund um den Hillsborough JAhrestag lief nicht besonders gut für ihn...
