Kevin Keegan has declared that it is very unlikely that he will return to management. 56 year old Keegan stepped down from his last job as manager of Manchester City back in March 2005. The legend now runs Soccer Circus an interactive football attraction in Glasgow.

Keegan progressed into management after a successful playing career. He gained a special place in the hearts of Magpie fans after spending 5 rollercoaster years at St James. Further placements included spells with Fulham, England and City. Keegan was linked to a return to Tyneside with the summer takeover of Newcastle United. However, he played down any speculation regarding a return as director of football.
