Newcastle United's incoming owners are ready to move for former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Should the deal go through, it is expected that wholesale changes and investment will be in the offing, including a change in management.
Sky Sports says boss Steve Bruce is likely to be given until the end of the season by any new owners, however, for the long-term vision of the club, it is likely that change will be sought - with Pochettino one of the names in the frame.
The Argentine is in fact the club's first choice, with a £19m-a-year deal thought to be being prepared to entice the former Tottenham boss to Tyneside.
That figure would make him the third-highest paid manager in the world, with only Atletico Madrid's Diego Simeone and Pep Guardiola at Manchester City earning more.
