Earlier in January of 2015, John Carver took charge of Newcastle United after Alan Pardew announced his departure as he decided to become the coach of Crystal Palace.
John Carver’s stay as the coach of Newcastle United lasted for less than a year as he was sacked 5 months after his appointed was confirmed. The reason of why Carver lasted such a short period of time was because of the string of underwhelming results and performances that Newcastle United displayed during with Carver at the helm of the club.
When John Carver was in charge of the Premier League club, Newcastle United suffered 12 defeats in 16 matches and only barely managed to avoid being relegated.
Following such a disappointing stint, it didn’t come as a surprise to see John Carver being sacked as he was replaced by Steve McClaren. Even though Carver had a very disappointing campaign as the coach of Newcastle United which was plagued with a string of defeats, the English manager has recently stated that he would like to make a return to St. James’ Park and have another shot as the coach of the Premier League club.
Former Newcastle United manager John Carver expressed his desire to make return as a coach to the English club as he said: “If I didn’t have any confidence in what I was trying to do, then I would probably settle for being a coach or in the background. But I do. I do have the confidence’’
“I don’t want to take the easy way out and be somebody’s assistant unless I have to. I want to get into a football club and build a football club. I’ve got a point to prove, to myself and to the fans of Newcastle. Not all of them because the majority have been very, very good, but to the people who were critical’’
Carver wants to restore his reputation which crumbled but it seems highly unlikely that any fan or executive of Newcastle United would be willing to give him a 2nd chance as the coach of the club taking into consideration how badly the team performed under his charge.
