Newcastle United have undergone significant progress under the stewardship of current manager Eddie Howe over the past 18 months. However, this season has witnessed a regression, with the squad often depleted by injuries affecting multiple first-team members for prolonged periods.

Key players like Sven Botman, Callum Wilson, and Joelinton have all grappled with injury woes, resulting in a downturn in Newcastle’s results. Currently occupying the tenth spot in the Premier League, the club finds itself 15 points adrift of a Champions League berth, a considerable gap compared to their previous season’s achievements.
Such performances have fueled speculation regarding a managerial change, with former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann emerging as a potential candidate to assume the reins in the near future. Should Nagelsmann indeed take over at St James’ Park, here’s a glimpse at the potential starting XI he could assemble.
GK – Nick Pope
RB – Kieran Trippier
CB – Sven Botman
CB – Jules Kounde
LB – Kieran Tierney
CM – Tonali
CM – Bruno Guimares
CM – Joelinton
RW – Leroy Sane
