[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Newcastle United plans to invite former manager Kevin Keegan to watch their home match against Liverpool next month. Kevin Keegan is a dual legend for both Newcastle and Liverpool, and Newcastle is open to inviting the former England manager to participate in next month’s home game against Liverpool, where they also plan to pay special tribute to the club legend. Since Saudi Arabia’s acquisition of Newcastle, Kevin Keegan has politely declined invitations to return to St James’ Park. He has not appeared at St James’ Park since leaving Newcastle in 2008. It is reported that Kevin Keegan was initially reluctant to associate himself with the new owners but is a devoted admirer of current manager Eddie Howe. The veteran manager has stated that he would return when the club wins a trophy. Eddie Howe is likely to welcome Kevin Keegan with open arms, especially considering the warm atmosphere that would be generated when the former player and manager tours the pitch before kick-off. Given Kevin Keegan’s success in Liverpool’s history, he is expected to receive a warm welcome from everyone in attendance.
