Newcastle United's new owners are reportedly interested in appointing either Frank Lampard or Lucien Favre as the club's new manager with Steve Bruce's departure imminent.
The Magpies were subject of a highly-publicised £305m takeover from the Saudi-led consortium last week and reports indicate that they are ready to appoint a new manager, with Bruce's days numbered.
And they are considering ex-Chelsea player and manager Frank Lampard and former Borussia Dortmund boss Lucien Favre as their first appointment, according to The Telegraph.
The same report details that Bruce is expected to be sacked in the next 48 hours, ahead of Sunday's home game against Tottenham.
