Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho have been touted as potential replacements for Rafa Benitez at Newcastle United IF the Bin Zayed Group's takeover is completed.
Benitez is edging closer to make a decision on his contract offer from the Magpies, and has been spending time in Spain during the Champions League final weekend.
However, a report in the Sunday Mirror suggested that Sheikh Khaled could be looking for a new manager.
Mourinho has grabbed the attention of some observers by suggesting he would be open to managing a "non-winning" club.
He told Calcio Mercato: "I want to be happy, not necessarily win, I want to be happy and I don't want to accept a proposal without being convinced of it, that's what I've always thought, that's why if they told me 'today there are no conditions to win, but we want you to create the conditions to win', then I would evaluate it.
"So I'm absolutely calm, because I know that if it doesn't happen now, it will happen later. If I don't have what makes me happy, I don't go. I think I earned the right to think like this "
However, Wenger was a little more guarded when asked on BeIN Sports and he said: "I'm very generous and I would love to give you what you want, but I cannot give you what I want because I don't know what I do."
