Scottish Mag 3 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 European Football: Toon In Talks With German Boss? Reports today from BBC 5 Live claim English Premiership side Newcastle United have held talks with German manager Ottmar Hitzfeld over the Toon vacancy. Hitzfeld is currently the centre of a fans campaign and is the fans choice to replace sacked Graeme Souness according to a poll carried out by North East newspaper the Evening Chronicle. The Magpies are also believed to have had talks with former Celtic manager Martin O'Neill but face stiff competition for the services of both managers. O'Neill is to have talks with the Football Association in coming weeks over the soon to be England vacancy where as two-times Champions League winner Hitzfeld is highly regarded by his own FA, the DFB. Former German star Steffan Effenberg claimed last week: "If I was in charge then I would get rid of Klinsmann right away and get Ottmar Hitzfeld in. Other names linked with the Magpies job include Bolton's Sam Allardyce, Wigan's Paul Jewell, former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri, England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson and ex-manager Kevin Keegan. It remains to be seen just who the Geordies appoint but it would now appear to be a two-horse race for a job Chairman Freddy Shepherd claims to be one of the best in world football.

Scottish Mag 3 Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Newsflash: Ottmar Hitzfeld To Sign? [Exclusive] Written by Paul Harbeck Sunday, 19 March 2006 "Breaking News coming out of Germany suggests that Newcastle United have made contact with Ottmar Hitzfeld regarding the managerial vacancy." "The newspaper based at the birth place of Hitzfeld is reporting that the football club have approached Ottmar who has not given them an answer. " "It is well known that Ottmar Hitzfeld does not delay turning a job offer down when he is not interested so this news can only been seen as positive news." Either this is not true, or Newcastle have actually managed to keep this secret.
