Newcastle begin hunt for new boss

---

Newcastle have begun their search for a sixth manager in four years after the resignation of Kevin Keegan, reports BBC. brEverton boss David Moyes and former Juventus coach Didier Deschamps are among the names being considered, BBC 5 Live's Jonathan Legard understands. brMoyes was previously mentioned as a possible successor to Sam Allardyce when he left Newcastle in January. brDeschamps, a former Chelsea team-mate of Magpies executive director Dennis Wise, is available at present. brBut Legard believes a link-up between Wise and another former Chelsea team-mate, Gus Poyet - currently assistant manager at Tottenham and the bookmakers' early favourite for the job - is not on the cards. brKeegan confirmed he was leaving St James' Park Thursday evening after days of speculation about his future.brIt leaves Magpies owner Mike Ashley looking for his third manager since taking over in June 2007 - and the club's eighth in 11 years since Keegan's first reign ended in 1997. brMoyes, who has yet to sign a new contract with Everton, was among those considered before Keegan returned to St James' Park in January. brLegard said Sources in the North-East claim Moyes' name is again in the frame, particularly as his new Everton contract remains unsigned, although I am told that is set to change imminently. brWhether Moyes would want to work in tandem with Newcastle's director of football Dennis Wise is another matter. brAnd whatever his frustrations with Everton's transfer budget, he'll have seen that Newcastle's recent spending power has been flyweight by comparison.
