PREMIER - Newcastle targeting Luis Campos as next top exec

Looking for a sports director to lead their ambitious new project, Newcastle are thinking of Luis Campos, according to Sky Sports latest reports. Recognized for his ability to find talent and generate great capital gains, the Portuguese has been free since leaving Lille last season. The native of Esposende, who played an important role in the French league titles won by AS Monaco (2016/17) and LOSC (2020/21), would be a major asset for the Magpies.

Last working for Les Dogues, former Real Madrid scout, once acting first-team manager for a bunch of clubs (including Gil Vicente and Beira-Mar), was previously approached by some prominent Italian clubs, notably AC Milan, AS Roma, and Lazio.
