Newcastle United today appointed Joe Kinnearr as the temp manager of the club while they search for a full time manager
Newcastle have named former Wimbledon and Luton manager Joe Kinnear as their interim boss until the end of October in a shock new twist at St James’ Park.
The Magpies have been without a manager since Kevin Keegan quit on 4 September, slumping to three straight defeats.
But Kinnear, 61, believes Keegan, and possibly Alan Shearer, could take over once the club is sold to new owners.
The Irishman, who has been out of football management since 2004, said: “I am very excited by this challenge.”
And he told BBC Radio 5 Live: “I am aware that the new owners have Kevin Keegan and possibly Alan Shearer parked around the corner.
“I understand investors are about to buy the club, (current owner) Mike Ashley told me openly. I will be here for six to eight games.”
So who saw this one coming? I don’t think anyone did! Weird choice but we will see what happens.
