Uncategorized NEWS THAT BREAK: Fabrizio Romano and several other reports this morning claim that Southampton has reached a consensus while identifying a new coach to replace the current one; an announcement is expected soon…. admin September 24, 2024 Newcastle United reach agreement as club identify replacement – announcement imminent Newcastle United are set to confirm Diarmuid O’Carroll as their new under-21s head coach. Head of coach development Jack Ross and professional development coach Neil Winskill have been in interim charge since July after Ben Dawson left to join Steve Cooper’s backroom team at Premier League rivals Leicester City. Two months on and Newcastle have found Dawson’s successor after agreeing a compensation package for St Mirren assistant manager O’Carroll, who missed The Saints’ 2-1 win over Hearts. “He is speaking to someone else at an Under-21 position,” said manager Stephen Robinson. “Obviously, we’ve shown today that we’ve got that staff in place to step up if that should happen. “(First-team coach) Brian (Kerr) has come in and done great for me. Him and Jamie Langfield were a big part of the set-play. Credit to both of them, they’ve worked on the set-plays all week.” Although O’Carroll’s move is yet to be announced by either club, St Mirren have quickly pressed ahead with his replacement. As per the Daily Record, Brian Kerr will make the step up from his current role as head of academy. O’Carroll is a big loss to St Mirren and to Robinson with the pair also working closely together at Motherwell and Morecambe. The 37-year-old was on the books of Celtic as a youngster before and representing the Republic of Ireland at under-21s level, although was part of Michael O’Neill’s backroom team at Northern Ireland during the qualifying campaign for Euro 2024. O’Carroll could take charge of the under-21s for the first time on Friday when they host Blackburn Rovers at Whitley Park, though that will be dependent on when his appointment is announced. read more: Liverpool already discussed about signing Milos Kerkez According to Caught Offside, Liverpool held discussions with Bournemouth over left-back Milos Kerkez during the summer transfer window. The Reds currently have Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas as their left-back options, but the club could make a change next year. Caught Offside now report that Liverpool held talks with the Cherries regarding Kerkez this summer when they were considering loaning out Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Reds had planned to send Mamardashvili on loan after signing from Valencia, but the Georgian goalkeeper will now officially join the club at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Liverpool did not advance with talks for Kerkez, but he is one of the left-back options on their radar when the time comes to replace Robertson in the role. Big potential Kerkez joined the Cherries from AZ in the summer of 2023 and he has already made a huge impression. The 20-year-old has accumulated 31 appearances in the Premier League. He has yet to make a direct goal contribution for the South Coast outfit, but he has impressed with his tackling, clearances, ball-winning ability and knack for winning ground duels. The Hungarian, who is a ‘very good‘ talent as per Fabrizio Romano, should only get better with age and experience on his side. Bournemouth are aware of the same and they have apparently set a huge price tag of £42 million for him. Liverpool are not alone in the player’s pursuit with Manchester United also admirers of him, but the Merseyside giants could have the edge with their presence in the Champions League. Unlike Liverpool, the Red Devils have been in-and-out of the competition at regular intervals over the past decade and they have been nowhere close to challenging for the English crown. Ultimately, Kerkez may want the assurance of regular playing time at his next club. We don’t see the Reds making an approach for him until they make the decision to part ways with Robertson. Robertson is no longer in the peak phase of his playing career, but he continues to remain a key player in the squad. The Scot could be sold next summer as he enters the last year of his contract.
