Newcastle Next Manager: 5 Best Choices To Replace Steve McClaren

3. Michael Laudrup

The former Swansea manager brought a fluent style of football to the Liberty Stadium before he was rather surprisingly let go by the Welsh club. He was also the man in charge when the Swans signed Jonjo Shelvey and knows what it takes to get the best out of the 23 year old. With the other attacking threats the Magpies have in their ranks, the Dane may be able to get the best out of an inconsistent bunch of underachievers - most notably Moussa Sissoko. Currently without a club after his departure from Lekhwiya SC, he would be available straight away if the club's hierarchy decided it was time for change.
