Eddie Howe has welcomed Newcastle United's search for elite scouts across the globe because the club's success 'depends on recruitment'.
Newcastle have cast the net wide for talent spotters living in or within travelling distance of seven geographical clusters in Europe and South America. These include France; Germany, Holland and Belgium; Spain and Portugal; Italy, Switzerland and Croatia; Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Denmark and Serbia; Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador; and Argentina and Uruguay.
According to the job advert, the scouts will act as 'ambassadors' for the club in their specific region, leading on the identification and assessment of 'emerging talent and first-team targets'. They will ultimately recommend 'appropriate high quality talent' in line with the club's strategy.
