After four consecutive promotions, Newcastle United’s former icon confirms his surprise departure. After achieving promotion, the former Newcastle United player has announced his departure from his current club. Steven Taylor, the former Newcastle United defender, has disclosed

 

 

 

that he has “a new project on the horizon” following his resignation as manager of Al Qabila, a club in the United Arab Emirates Second Division. The Dubai-based club was established in October 2023, and Taylor, a former Magpies player, was appointed as their inaugural manager. They launched their inaugural campaign in the third division of the game in the Gulf state.

 

 

 

 

Taylor continued to impress in the dugout as he guided an Al Qabila side that included former United striker Papiss Cisse to consecutive promotions, following his two promotions during his 18-month reign at Gulf United. The former Magpies academy product, who made over 260 appearances during a 13-year tenure in the first team at St James Park,

 

 

 

 

has now resigned from his position and disclosed his future plans.As he stated on the Sports and Gulf website, “A season that was highly engaging and concluded with a positive outcome, as we all strived to achieve promotion.” Four promotions in four consecutive years! Another season of UAE football, characterised by a variety of highs and lows.

 

 

 

 

The team’s success on the final day of the season was contingent upon the dedication and hard work of Sam White, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. This result was instrumental in securing the promotion. I am extremely grateful to the players for their unwavering commitment to a cause, consistent performances, forbearance, and respect throughout the season, irrespective of the circumstances.

 

 

 

 

I would also like to inform you that I am resigning and extend my best wishes to the club for their Division Two campaign in the upcoming season. I am enthusiastic about the project’s near-term trajectory. A new undertaking is imminent; this is the most thrilling endeavour to date.
