Benfica coach Koeman interested in Newcastle job


Benfica coach Ronald Koeman is interested in the vacant Newcastle United job.

The Mirror says Koeman is the latest foreign coach to express an interest in the Newcastle post.
The Dutch boss, now in charge of Champions League quarter-finalists Benfica, is one of a growing list of top bosses Toon chairman Freddy Shepherd has to choose from to fill the St James' Park vacancy.
Koeman has coached Holland, Barcelona and Benfica and is just 43 years old, with a wide knowledge of world football.
