Latest Newcastle Manager Betting: Mourinho favourite to take over after Benitez departure

Jose Mourinho is the early favourite to take over at Newcastle after the club announced Rafael Benitez will leave the club on June 30.

The Spaniard was in the hotseat at St James’ Park for over three years but, despite winning the Championship and a pair of impressive seasons in the Premier League with limited funds, has failed to agree a new contract.

William Hill offer 5/1 (6.0) that Mourinho returns to management after over six months out, with the Portuguese having taken a break since being fired from Manchester United in December 2018.
