Newcastle United cult hero Temuri Ketsbaia lands international role with Cyprus

Newcastle United cult hero Temuri Ketsbaia has stepped back into international management after being appointed Cyprus manager.

Ketsbaia is fondly remembered on Tyneside for his passionate celebrations, which once saw him take his frustrations out on a St James' Park advertising hoarding after scoring a last minute winner against Bolton Wanderers back in 1998. The Georgian midfielder made 78 appearances for the Magpies during his three year spell at St James'.

Since his retirement, Ketsbaia has held a number of managerial roles which include spells at Greek giants Olympiacos and AEK Athens. Previously, the 54-year-old had managed Georgia from 2009 to 2014, who he was capped 52 times for.
