The Premier League has a new member in the club of the super-rich: Thanks to its sheik, Newcastle United now wants to get involved - and get a German coach.
Munich / Newcastle - From now on Newcastle United will be involved in the concert of the greats.
From now on, at least financially, the Magpies are well positioned.
After the takeover by a Saudi Arabian consortium a few days ago, there will be one or two personnel changes in Newcastle.
Money does not matter, the new owner is four times as rich as that of champions Manchester City *.
Since the transfer window is already closed, mega deals will be rather difficult for the squad.
But a new coach will soon swing the scepter on the bench.
According to
The Telegraph,
current coach Steve Bruce
will soon be fired - a German coach is being traded as his successor.
Ralf Rangnick should therefore take over at Newcastle United!
The ex-coach of RB Leipzig * is currently the sporting managing director in Russia at Lokomotiv Moscow.
Since, according to
Transfermarkt.de
, he should only work as an independent consultant in this role, he could get out of his contract with Lok, which runs until 2024, and switch to the Premier League.
Provided that Rangnick wants that.

Newcastle and its new owners have deliberately targeted Rangnick.
After all, he has proven at TSG Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig that with a patron and a lot of money in the background, he can build a club and lead it into the international class.
But whether Rangnick will cancel the project in Moscow after such a short time remains to be seen.
In and of itself, the role at Newcastle should be quite appealing for the 63-year-old.
On the other hand, he's just building something up at Lok.
Before joining Russia, Rangnick made it clear that he would only return as head coach or sports director in exceptional cases.
"I just have the feeling: With the total package of all-round support that we will be offering in the future, I can give something back to football," says Rangnick: "To get me away from this task - that should be a very special offer."
A few days ago he brought Markus Gisdol to Russia as a coach.
He once worked under Rangnick's coach for the second team in Hoffenheim and as an assistant coach at FC Schalke 04.
Should Rangnick cancel the Magpies, according to the
Daily Mail there is
a long list of coaches who could be considered for the engagement.
This is another former Bundesliga coach, Lucien Favre *.
The Swiss was at Borussia Dortmund until December 2020 and had recently canceled Girondins Bordeaux and Crystal Palace.
