DrkeemNewcastle United’s new sporting director Paul Mitchell has sat down to speak with the NUFC media team after his whirlwind appointment.
Paul Mitchell joined Newcastle seemingly out of nowhere as he and the club managed to keep the appointment completely hush until they wanted to unveil him. The former Monaco sporting director had a couple of days to find his feet in Newcastle before joining the first team out in Germany at the Adidas World of Sports HQ as part of Newcastle’s week-long training camp.
It was here that Mitchell sat down with NUFC’s media team to discuss what it was that made him decide to join Newcastle.
One big thing to note from the interview was how highly Mitchell spoke of Eddie Howe and how there was not even a hint that anybody other than Eddie would be leading the team next season.
In fact, Mitchell cites Howe as one of the big reasons he joined the club.
“We know each other, I think we have a tremendous amount of respect. I see our philosophies, our ways of working being a natural collaboration. It’s something that was one of the motivations to come here. it’s going to be tremendously successful if I’m honest.
“You see Eddie’s qualities, he’s already impressive on the grass, you can see his player development CV, that fits nicely in line with my recruitment development CV of players that we recognise have performance potential but we can extract that potential through great coaching and through great technical sessions every single day.
“I think that collaborative approach, bringing his strengths and my strengths, I can only see a positive outcome for that.”
