Manager SACKED ahead of Newcastle clash – Big change coming with 4 names in frame….
Away from deadline day and the summer transfer window, Newcastle United fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Champions League football.
With huge games like Barcelona at home and another trip to Paris to face PSG, European nights under the lights can’t come soon enough after the slow start we’ve had to the Premier League season.
In our first foray in the competition under the new ‘League Phase’ format, we’re facing an array of top teams and former champions who will each prove to be a formidable test.
However, big changes behind the scenes at one of our future opponents could swing things in our favour…
German giants Bayer Leverkusen have sacked Erik Ten Hag ahead of their Champions League clash with Newcastle after poor results and reports of issues with the players and club hierarchy.
Newcastle travel to Bayer Leverkusen on 10th December for our sixth of eight league phase games, but they will have a new man in the dugout with Ten Hag sacked after jus two league games.
In their official statement, Leverkusen confirmed that “Training will be taken over by the assistant coaching staff for the time being.”
Having managed just three competitive games for the club, ten Hag has now set the record for fewest league matches in charge before being dismissed in Bundesliga history
