"Newcastle? nothing can make me leave these lads"

Newcastle sacked Steve Bruce. Now the new owners are looking for his replacement. 

One of the rumored managers to get the Newcastle job was the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho. However, it seems like they will have to look somewhere else as Mourinho won't be leaving the Italian capital city.

'Sky Sports' asked 'the Special One' about the Newcastle rumors, Mou's answer couldn't be more direct: "Newcastle? I decided to stay, I'm not leaving", he claimed. 

The reason is simple he doesn't want his players behind: "I signed for three years and nothing can make me leave these lads”.

One option less to take the Newcastle challenge. Mourinho is not the first manager to turn down the 'Magpies' job. Conte Rodgers, Benitez or Zidane also got the phone call.
