Newcastle United legend Alan
Shearer is ready to jump back into management.
The Sunday Mirror says the BBC Match Of The Day pundit
has decided to throw his hat in to the football jobs market with
immediate effect.
And the availability of one of English football’s most admired
characters will no doubt cause interest in boardrooms up and down
the country, with Shearer even prepared to consider a fresh start
outside the Premier League.
Close friends believe he’ll be back working as a boss before the
end of the season.
One associate said: “Alan has decided after enjoying his short
taste of management at Newcastle that is the direction he’d like to
go in.
“He was hurt and frustrated by the way things ultimately ended
there, but has bounced back with an enthusiasm and a desire to find
another manager’s job.
“The BBC have always been very supportive and sympathetic to his
ambition in that direction and, although he has a contract until
next year, they wouldn’t stand in his way although they would hope
he was available for next summer’s World Cup.”
Hull City are one top-flight
club who could soon be looking for a new manager, with Phil Brown
under fire.
