Gullit has thrown in the towel as Newcastle boss excactly one
year
after promising "sexy football"
Ruud Gullit has sensationally resigned as
Newcastle manager in a press conference this
morning.
The pressure has been piling up on Gullit for a long time now, and it finally
got
the better of the Dutchman.
It was a string of poor results that was one of the reasons the flamboyant
Dutchman gave for
ending
his contract with the club. But it was the persistant intrusion into his
private life that
he
cited as being one of the main factors.
The board are not going to rush in to making a new appointment, and number
two, Steve Clarke,
will
be in charge for the trip to Old Trafford for Monday's clash against Man
United.
Following that match there is a two week gap in Premiership games, and
the board will take
their
time in deciding on a new manager, although former England boss, Bobby
Robson,
is
a likely candidate.
