Former Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan has refused to rule himself out of the running to become the new Magpies boss.
The 56-year-old, who quit his last job as Manchester City boss in March 2005, told BBC Sport in October that he was unlikely to manage a team again.
But following Sam Allardyce's exit last week, he has been linked with a return to the club he managed from 1992-97.
He told Sky Sports News: "I'm not ruling myself out or in. It's a club I love, everyone knows that."
Former England coach Keegan is currently running his "Soccer Circus" in Glasgow and has been linked with a return to management alongside fellow Newcastle legend Alan Shearer.
He was also linked with a return to the club last summer as director of football following Mike Ashley's takeover.
606: DEBATE
Would Keegan be a good choice for Newcastle manager?
But Keegan ruled out that possibility and has since been coaching youngsters in Scotland.
When asked if he would manage again he said in October: "I don't think it will happen. I think my life has gone in a different direction.
"You never know, I mean I do get offers to go back into football, but I made a decision that I would come and do something different with my life."
Keegan took the Magpies to within four points of their first title in nearly 70 years in 1996, when they finished runners-up to Manchester United.

Now that would be very funny
I've no particular gripe against the Barcodes but the current situation does amuse me greatly. Give the job to Big Al and watch them drop back to the Championship and crowds of 17k.

Please no. I have a friend who has some serious money on him at 36/1 and stands to win £2017 if he gets the job. I'd never hear the end of it  I got a text from MHG on Saturday on the way back from Charlton saying they were trying to get the rumour onto 606, and they said they'd say it and then didn't. This could be all her fault. |

Entertaining football, entertaining manager, win nothing. It's the Geordie way. They must appoint Keegle.

What are the odds on Newcastle getting relegated? About 20/1 I think. |
