Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias has stated that the club have total confidence in manager Alan Pardew, hence the reason why they have handed the coach a startling eight-year contract.
The trainer led the Magpies into an excellent fifth-placed finish in the Premier League last season, and has since been rewarded with a new four-year deal on top of the existing four years that remained on his previous deal.
Llambias has explained that the club want continuity and will continue to back Pardew.
“What we believe, is that for one we have the right manager and he has ambition and it is all about stability and we believe Newcastle needs to have this to go forward and have success,” he told Sky Sports.
“There is no coincidence that Manchester United with Sir Alex has been there over 25 years and has created stability and with that has come success, and along with Arsene Wenger stability has come success.
“What we have achieved over the last five years has been tremendous, we have put a lot into the model, financially we are stable and that will continue and now it’s all about stability on the pitch, and having the right managing and coaching staff and chief scout. It is a fantastic move for us and those individuals.
“The long-term contracts with the players and the manager can only make things better going forward, Alan is delighted he loves the job, he loves the North East and has a real drive to bring a trophy to us and hopefully we will get there in the coming years,” the executive concluded.
