Newcastle United are reportedly prepared to make Mauricio Pochettino one of the best-paid managers in the world, should the impending takeover go through.
According to Sky Sports News on Wednesday, Pochettino is wanted by the North East club who are currently the subject of a £300million bid, led by Amanda Staveley and backed by the wealth of the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
Should the deal go through, it is expected that wholesale changes and investment will be in the offing, including a change in management.
Current boss Steve Bruce is likely to be given until the end of the season by any new owners.
