The former Arsenal boss confirmed the Magpies’ interest following the Spanish club’s Champions League win over Young Boys on Tuesday evening. But on Wednesday he confirmed that he intends to stay in Spain leaving Newcastle’s new owners to continue their search for Steve Bruce’s successor. Honestly, I am grateful for the interest of a great club, but even more grateful to be here and that is why I communicated to Fernando Roig my decision to want to continue being part of this project because of the commitment and respect that I perceive from the club and from my players, which is mutual and reciprocal.” Emery’s decision to stay in Spain means former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has emerged as the new favourite to take over at St James’ Park. Newcastle’s new owners had identified Emery as the leading contender to replace Bruce, who departed the club last month.
