Paulo Fonseca is on the brink of being named Newcastle United manager.
The Evening Chronicle says Fonseca has pulled out of a planned speaking event in Lisbon tomorrow as the Newcastle owners gear up to make a big call.
The former AS Roma coach was due to speak at the Web Summit Sportstrade conference in Lisbon but has pulled out on the eve of the event.
Fonseca has been one of the frontrunners for the vacant managerial position at Newcastle following Steve Bruce's departure.
The Magpies new owners have hinted at 'positive change' on the horizon as they gear up to appoint Bruce's successor.
The last minute cancellation also coincides with the sacking of Nuno Espirito Santo at Tottenham Hotspur.
Fonseca has been linked with the Spurs job, although it seems that Antonio Conte is favourite to take over.
