Brazil legend Zico admitted interest in taking Newcastle United's hot seat, following speculation linking him with the job. The unemployed Zico, who left Fenerbahce in June, revealed his willingness to work in the Premiership. "The Newcastle job is one that I would be very interested in taking. It would be a privilege and an honor," he told the Daily Mail. "I've always wanted to experience the Premier League as I believe I could enjoy much success coaching in England. "I am used to working alongside technical directors so this isn't an issue for me. It's normal for me to work in those conditions." On the contrary, Deportivo Lacuruna manager Miguel Angel Lotina claimed that he turned down the Toon job as he prefers to stay at Riazor. Poyet Link According to the Sun, Tottenham Hotspur assistant coach Gustavo Poyet is tipped to take the vacant Magpies job after meeting with club officials. The Uruguayan has a strong relationship with Newcastle football director Dennis Wise, thanks to previous alliances in Chelsea, Swindon and Leeds. Poyet was assigned at Spurs, following the arrival of Spaniard Juande Ramos from Sevilla last season.
