List of Newcastle United F.C. managers
.jpg)
Newcastle United F.C. is a English football club based in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, North East England. Since 1930, there have been thirty-three official managers, with the current incumbent, Rafael Benítez, appointed on 11 March 2016.
Statistically, the club's most successful managers are Benítez and Chris Hughton, with a win percentage of 59.38. The club's longest-serving manager was Stan Seymour, who had three spells managing the club from 1939 to 1958, totalling almost fourteen years, while the most successful manager was Joe Harvey, who won five trophies (albeit that four were minor trophies) and also had the longest uninterrupted spell as manager, lasting thirteen years from 1962 to 1975. All but three of the club's managers – Tom Mather, Norman Smith and Osvaldo Ardiles – have managed the club in the top-flight.
Managerial history
From 1892 to 1929, the team was selected by a committee. It was represented by Frank Watt, who was appointed the club's secretary in 1895. Watt was responsible for the success the Edwardian Newcastle side had in the early 1900s, winning the First Division four times, the Northern League three times and were FA Cup finalists four times (although the team only won once, in 1910). The club's first official manager was Andy Cunningham, who was appointed in 1930, with Watt remaining secretary until 1935. Cunningham was on the club's books at the time as a striker, and initially began as a player-manager but retired the following year to become full-time manager of the club. He won the FA Cup in 1932, but the club was also relegated to the Second Division in the 1933–34 season.
The late 1930s to mid 1950s were to be dominated by one man: Stan Seymour. Seymour played for Newcastle in the 1920s, and was often a crowd favourite. He left the club in acrimonious circumstances, but returned in 1938, as a director. Like Watt, he could not pick the team under the Director's Committee, but he had more influence on who could play (perhaps due to his stature). In 1947, he stepped down to allow George Martin to take over, but was back for a second spell in 1950. During this time, Newcastle won the FA Cup in consecutive years (1951 and 1952), and as a result, he became the first person in English football history to win the FA Cup with the same club as a player and manager. In 1954, Seymour would again step down to allow another man to take the helm, this time, it was Doug Livingstone. However, when the club reached the cup final in 1955, Livingstone attempted to drop Jackie Milburn, and Seymour, who was behind Milburn's successful trial, took affront to this and picked the cup final team by himself. Victory in the final meant for Seymour that he was right, and as a result, Livingstone was barred from any involvement with the first team, resigning the following year. Seymour took over for the third time, but in a cruel twist of fate, the club's form deteriorated rapidly under him, and they avoided relegation on goal difference. This was to be the final straw for chairman and boardroom rival William McKeag, and he appointed Charlie Mitten as Seymour's successor. He would remain on the board until his death in 1978.
In the 1960s and up to the mid 1970s, Newcastle had a steady presence in Joe Harvey. Also a former player, having captained the club to FA Cup success the previous decade, the club were moderately successful under his tenureship. They were the Second Division champions in 1965, and won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final in 1969, the last major silverware that the club has won. He also brought in Malcolm Macdonald, Tony Green, Terry McDermott, Geoff Nulty and Mickey Burns, all of whom at some point, made notable contributions to the club. Harvey resigned in 1975 after a poor season, but his successors did not fare any better, and he returned five years later as caretaker manager for a couple of matches. Arthur Cox, with whom Harvey had a close friendship, was named manager, and would hold that position for the next four years.
In 1984, Jack Charlton took over as manager, having been persuaded to do so by Milburn, his maternal uncle. Although Newcastle had just been promoted to the First Division, club captain Kevin Keegan announced his retirement and McDermott, in his second stint at the club, was released. With a lack of funding from the board, Charlton had little choice to promote youth team players Peter Beardsley, Chris Waddle and later, Paul Gascoigne. The club finished the season in fourteenth place, but Charlton resigned over the departure of Waddle and the failure to sign Eric Gates. Willie McFaul returned as caretaker manager, and was given the job on a permanent basis after a 1–0 win over Liverpool. McFaul decided early on to build the team around Gascoigne, who would go on to score nine goals. The club finished in a respectable eleventh place, impressive, considering the crisis at the start of the season. However, the 1986–87 season started badly, and they were bottom of the table by November. McFaul signed Paul Goddard, who became the club's record signing. Goddard and Gascoigne teamed up well together, with the former equalling a club record of scoring in seven straight games, and the club finished in seventeenth place. Beardsley was sold to Liverpool on the eve of the 1986–88 season, but this was to be Gascoigne's breakthrough season for the club, winning the PFA Young Player of the Year award as Newcastle ended the season in eighth place. He, along with Goddard and Neil McDonald, were sold on, and without players of that calibre, the club's form suffered and McFaul was sacked. His successor, Jim Smith, could not prevent the club from finishing bottom of the league, but did stay on and finished third in the Second Division, qualifying for the play-offs. Newcastle faced their local rivals Sunderland, losing 2–0 over the two legs. Smith resigned the following year.
In 1991, Osvaldo Ardiles was appointed manager; he was the first foreign-born manager of the club. He set about dismantling Smith's team, focusing on promoting the younger players, and steered the club to eleventh place. However, in the 1991–92 season, Ardiles struggled to deliver results in what was the club's centenary year, and as the club found itself in a relegation battle, with a real risk of dropping down to the Third Division, he was replaced in the role by Keegan. The club stayed up on the last day of the season, with a 2–1 win over Leicester City. As the Premier League had been established, the Second Division was renamed the First Division, and Newcastle won the league, eight points ahead of West Ham United. The defence was strengthened by the signings of John Beresford and Barry Venison, and in February 1993, the strike force was bolstered by the arrival of Andy Cole, who scored twelve goals in his first twelve games for the club. In the summer of 1993, top scorer David Kelly was moved on, and Beardsley returned to the club, having spent the previous two seasons at Everton. Gavin Peacock also left the club, he was replaced by Rob Lee, who had joined in the autumn transfer window. Newcastle ended the 1993–94 season in third place, their highest league finish since 1927, and with Cole the top goalscorer. This team was the precursor to the Entertainers side two seasons later. In the 1994–95 season, the best start to any top division season in their history, winning their first six games to go top of the table. They had fallen away by Christmas but were in the running for a UEFA Cup place. The sale of Cole to Manchester United in the new year, affected their firepower up front and the club finished sixth, but made important summer signings in Les Ferdinand and David Ginola.
In the 1995–96 season, Newcastle challenged Manchester United for the title. Their brand of football was thrilling in its reckless abandon, an infamous example of this is the 1996 match with Liverpool, which finished 4–3 to the Merseysiders. During this period, the team were dubbed the Entertainers. Newcastle had led the way from August until mid-March, and were at one point, ahead of Manchester United by twelve points. With two games to go, and after a win over Leeds United, Keegan rose to Alex Ferguson's baiting in an iconic post-match interview declaring, "...and I'll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them. Love it." However, Newcastle squandered their game in hand by drawing with Nottingham Forest, and then drawing with Tottenham Hotspur, whereas Manchester United comfortably beat Middlesbrough to regain the Premier League title. Reasons given for Newcastle's capitulation include three consecutive away losses to Arsenal, Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers, and the mid-season purchase of David Batty, who was shoehorned into a side that had been playing well and now had to consolidate him. Keegan responded to the previous season's disappointment, by breaking the world transfer record to sign Alan Shearer from Blackburn Rovers. Newcastle mounted another title challenge, and won seven matches in a row to go top of the table. However, soon after that they also went seven matches without a win, and although the team had emphatic wins over Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United, Keegan felt he had taken the club as far as he could, resigning in January 1997.
Keegan's replacement was Kenny Dalglish, who came out of retirement to take the job. The club were in fourth place at the time of Keegan's departure, and remained there for several weeks, until they once again finished runners-up to Manchester United, having a better goal difference than Arsenal and Liverpool, who ended the season on the same amount of points. The club also qualified for the Champions League the first time, as UEFA allowed the runners-up of top European leagues to compete in the competition. Over the course of the 1997–98 season, several members of the Entertainers left the club, including Ginola and Ferdinand to Tottenham Hotspur, and Beardsley to Bolton Wanderers. Although Dalglish brought in Shay Given, Temuri Ketsbaia and Gary Speed, he also recruited Stuart Pearce, John Barnes and Ian Rush, all of whom were in their mid to late thirties, and was criticised by supporters for doing so. When Shearer sustained an ankle injury that kept him out of action for half the season, Dalglish turned to Faustino Asprilla as his first choice striker. In their opening Champions League group stage match, Newcastle recorded a famous victory over Barcelona as Asprilla scored a hat-trick, but would finish third in the group behind Dynamo Kyiv and PSV Eindhoven. In January 1998, Asprilla would leave the club to rejoin Parma, with Newcastle struggling in the league. The club would eventually finish thirteenth, and compared to Keegan's style of football, under Dalglish, it was greatly unpopular. Despite this, Newcastle did reach the cup final, but lost against Premier League winners Arsenal. As the Gunners had won the double, Newcastle qualified for the last ever UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. After two draws at the start of the 1998–99 season, Dalglish was sacked by chairman Freddy Shepherd, and was replaced on the same day by Ruud Gullit.
Gullit's first challenge as Newcastle manager came in the Cup Winners' Cup, in the first round against Partizan; the Magpies would lose over two legs on away goals. Gullit had a major public spat with Lee, and in an attempt to appear in control, stripped him of the club captaincy, did not a give him a shirt number and made him train with the reserves. He also froze out Pearce and Barnes, who both assert in their autobiographies that the Dutchman felt threatened by the senior players in the squad, and a possible threat to the manager's position should it arise. Like the previous season, Newcastle finished thirteenth, would reach the cup final, only to lose to Manchester United. Because the Mancunians had already qualified for the Champions League, Newcastle qualified for the UEFA Cup. Gullit also had misunderstood the importance of the Tyne–Wear derby, claiming it was inferior to the Milan derby. It was this attitude that would be his downfall, and after a poor start to the 1999–2000 season, in which Newcastle had yet to win a match, he benched Shearer and Duncan Ferguson, in the 2–1 defeat to Sunderland. Gullit resigned after this match, citing the media's harassment of his family in the Netherlands, rather than the club's form. Steve Clarke was caretaker manager for the next two matches, until the club appointed Bobby Robson. When Dalglish was sacked, Robson had been first choice to take over as manager, but he was two months into his job at PSV, and so could not join his hometown club. In his first match as Newcastle manager, the club thrashed Sheffield Wednesday 8–0, and while they spent the rest of the season in mid-table, finishing eleventh, Robson had done his job which was to keep Newcastle in the Premier League.
Robson's first full season as Newcastle manager saw them finish eleventh once again – more than high enough to avoid relegation, but not quite high enough to get into Europe. In the 2001–02 season, the Magpies participated in the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup, and were co-finalists, but due to the away goals rule, their opponents Troyes qualified for that season's UEFA Cup. Robson decided to base the team around youth, bringing in players such as Craig Bellamy and Laurent Robert, as well as Kieron Dyer, who was signed by Robson's predecessor, Gullit. Newcastle found themselves in an unlikely title challenge, however, they fell short and finished fourth, qualifying for the next season's Champions League. They would beat Željezničar 5–0 over two legs, and were placed in the first group stage against Dynamo Kyiv, Feyenoord and Juventus. With three losses in their first three matches, Newcastle were bottom of the group, but would make a comeback, beating Juve 1–0, Dynamo 2–1 and finally, a 3–2 win over Feyenoord; Bellamy scoring the winner in the last minute. In the second group stage, they were placed with Internazionale, Barcelona and Bayer Leverkusen. Again, the club started badly with losses against Inter and Barcelona, with Bellamy sent off against the former opponents and had to serve a three-match ban. The club would then beat Leverkusen 3–1 home and away, and thus were back in contention to qualify for the knockout stage. They drew with Inter away, but would lose their final match to Barcelona. By this time, Newcastle were in another title challenge. They had started the season badly, only winning once in their first five matches, and then quickly got their form back. The January transfer window of Jonathan Woodgate strengthened the defence, and by March, they were in with a good chance of winning the Premier League. Four losses between March and April, including a 6–2 home defeat to eventual champions Manchester United, put paid to that. Afterwards, Robson's side would be unbeaten for the final four matches, and finished third, behind Manchester and Arsenal.
In the 2003–04 season, Newcastle failed to advance to the Champions League proper, losing to Partizan via a penalty shootout. In the league, Robson's side failed to win a match until October, although they would win every match that month. Newcastle's away form was cause for concern, and in most cases, an inability to hold onto a 1–0 lead cost them dearly. They would only win twice away, and registered twelve draws. In the final matches of the season, Newcastle were in a race to finish fourth, alongside Liverpool. A 3–3 draw with Southampton, their final game in hand, allowed the Merseysiders to take advantage and move above the Magpies. In the UEFA Cup, Newcastle made the semi-finals to face Marseille, but after a spirited goalless draw at St James' Park, the club lost 2–0 at the Stade Vélodrome, and their chance of reaching their first final since 1999 was over. Newcastle finished the season in fifth place, qualifying for the UEFA Cup. The club would have an indifferent start to the season; their first four matches ended in two draws and two losses, with the team again letting leads slip, this time against Middlesbrough and Norwich City. This form and the fact Robson was perceived to have lost the dressing room (Dyer being named as a substitute for refusing to play on the wing against Boro was a notable example), gave Shepherd no choice but to sack him. The relationship between Robson and the hierarchy had been fractured already, due to the summer signing of Patrick Kluivert, and the futile pursuit of Wayne Rooney. Robson was given a £1 million severance payment by the club; it was to be his last managerial role in football.
Robson's successor was Graeme Souness, who was seen as a disciplinarian. The club would go on a ten match unbeaten run in all competitions, beginning with a first round tie against Bnei Sakhnin, but their form would dip soon afterwards. Souness also fell out with Bellamy, after the striker was benched when he refused to play out of position in a match against Arsenal, and was later loaned out to Celtic. He was also reported to have fallen out with Robert, Olivier Bernard and Jermaine Jenas. Injuries often plagued his Souness' tenure at the club, the league form suffered because of it (and with Shearer out of action, some fans questioned if Bellamy's departure was the right decision), the exit from the UEFA Cup quarter-final and the FA Cup semi-final were also blamed on squad members unable to play. Souness' side finished in fourteenth place, and a rift was starting to begin between him and Shepherd. His main gripe was over the state of the club's training ground, which had caused many injuries over the course of the season. The club could have qualified for Europe via the 2005 UEFA Intertoto Cup, but lost the semi-final to Deportivo. Souness decided to break Newcastle's transfer record to sign Michael Owen, who had spent the previous season with Real Madrid. Owen was partnered up front with Shearer, the previous holder of the transfer record, and the two had a good start together, until Owen broke his metatarsal in a collision with Tottenham Hotspur's Paul Robinson, ruling him out until April 2006 and a serious doubt for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. From December 2005 to February 2006, Newcastle failed to win a match, and he was sacked, with the Youth Academy Director Glenn Roeder taking over on a caretaker basis. Souness' time on Tyneside was not only compounded by injuries, but also poor singings (including the much maligned Jean-Alain Boumsong, a free transfer the previous summer, but was bought by the Scotsman for £8 million) and the lack of acceptance from the supporters.
