Ossie Ardilles has revealed that he would love the opportunity to manage Newcastle United again, although the clubs memories of his stint in charge of the club in 1991/2 when they slid down the old second division may note bode well for the Argentinian.

Ardilles was finally relieved of his duties during that spell when he was replaced by fans favourite Kevin Keegan. But the popular Argentinian who is looking for a managerial post, says that if he was offered the job he would be delighted, adding that it was unlikely to happen.

“I think whoever comes in will be looking for some other people, probably Alan Shearer because he is loved up there.” said Ardilles, but warned that the sale of the club must be sorted out soon if Newcastle United are to avoid falling into further turmoil.

“The chairman is trying to sell the club and the squad was pretty slim last season and it’s even more slim now so they are in big danger. They need to sort out the political situation at the club. A chairman needs to come in and say this person is the Newcastle manager and take it from there. Mike Ashley needs to be decisive because at the moment the club is not stable and stability is the main thing that Newcastle needs right now.”

The Argentinian World Cup winner says that he will return to management as soon as possible and hopes for a return to England. He says that there are a few options on the horizon, although the current offers are from teams abroad and his first choice would be to manage an English team.

His last job as manager was at the  Paraguayan club Cerro Porteño. His appointment lasted from May to August of 2008 when he was sacked following a string of poor results.
