Kevin Keegan 'being lined up to make sensational Newcastle return in ambassadorial role' once £300m Saudi-backed takeover goes through

Kevin Keegan could make a sensational return to Newcastle for the third time once Mike Ashley has sold the club, according to reports.

Keegan is adored by Newcastle supporters having made 78 appearances for the club while enjoying two separate spells as manager, having nearly guided them to Premier League gold in the 1995-96 campaign.

Now, according to The Mirror, 'King Kev' will take up an ambassadorial role once the £300million takeover of the club goes through.
