Claudio Ranieri wants to rejoin the Premier League with Newcastle
Newcastle appears to be working fast behind closed doors in the wake of Rafael Benitez’s departure from the club.
No less than 24 hours ago was it sadly announced that Newcastle and Rafa have parted ways from each other. It comes as no surprise as a contract extension was not forthcoming.
Rafa’s end to his tenure as a Magpie was met with dismay after he mastered another English Top Flight stay in the unforgettable circumstances Mike Ashley left him in.

If so is this a good move for the club?
His last two spells give a mixed review on whether he’s an upgrade to Rafa or not. The Italian took Fulham from relegation to relegation. Moving nowhere in his short spell at the club.
The mission initially was to save and rescue the Cottage. The mission was a massive failure and aborted with the club returning to the Championship with immediate effect.
Though, in saying this, he inherited a squad unable of regaining confidence. The task was far from an easygoing one for any manager to take on.
Eight days following the Craven Cottage exit he had a similar quest in his homeland and the purpose there was to save Roma. He did it with love!

Yet, this did not hamper his decision to take leave from there as well, confirming three weeks afore the season conclusion he will bid farewell to the Romans.
So a free man and a free team with plenty of time left ahead of the new season kickoff. Could be the best fit for all. Others rumoured to be interested, Jose Mourinho and Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
