Shearer to become Newcastle boss
Breaking news
BBC Sport understands that Alan Shearer will be appointed as Newcastle manager until the end of the season.
Magpies legend Shearer, 38, has been continually linked with a return to the club and admitted in September 2008 he would like to be manager.
Chris Hughton is currently in caretaker charge at St James' Park as interim manager Joe Kinnear recovers from a triple heart bypass.
Shearer rejected an invitation to join Newcastle as a coach last November.
