Bought last October by the Sovereign Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF), orchestrated by the Crown Prince of the Kingdom Mohammed bin Salman, Newcastle is not necessarily doing much better in the Premier League. The Magpies, now coached by Eddie Howe, are still in 19th place in the Premier League. They will have to work until the end in order to obtain their maintenance in the elite of English football. It is in this sense that the management of the English club brought in Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood this winter, while perhaps waiting for Diego Carlos and other well-known names in the world of football.
The winter break, lasting around 3 weeks, which is coming on the other side of the Channel could do good for the residents of St James’ Park before starting the final sprint in the championship.

The 44-year-old Magpies coach cited better working conditions to justify the move. His troop will leave after the match in Leeds on Saturday (4 p.m., 23rd day of PL). Amnesty International has warned the trip could be “a glorified public relations exercise for the government of Mohammad bin Salman. »
