Zico talks up Newcastle job

Brazilian legend Zico has admitted he would be interested in signing for Newcastle as their new manager if the opportunity arose. The former Japan and Fenerbahce coach is considering a move to the Premiership.

"The Newcastle job is one that I would be very interested in taking. It would be a privilege and an honour," he told the Daily Mail.

"I've always wanted to experience the Premier League as I believe I could enjoy much success coaching in England.

"I am used to working alongside technical directors so this isn't an issue for me. It's normal for me to work in those conditions."
