New sponsors spotted and Bruno joins Newcastle’s five-man leadership group

Ahead of Eddie Howe’s press conference this morning at Newcastle United’s new-look media room, journalists shared photos of the set up.

In those photos, we saw a trio of new sponsors appear, with Banco BPM (Italian banking group), MSC cruises (owned by Italian billionaire Aponte family) and Konami (a potential link to the Japan trip) all spotted on the banner to the right-hand side of Howe.

Newcastle’s commercial revenues have grown consistently since new owners arrived and CEO Darren Eales did hint last month that more were on the way, so it appears these are three of our latest additions.

Speaking alongside Howe this morning, Bruno Guimaraes also revealed that he’s been added to the player leadership group behind the scenes, joining Jamaal Lascelles, Dan Burn, Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier.

“I have always been a leader,” he said after wearing the captains armband in last week’s clash with Yokohama in Japan. “t’s a big challenge because English isn’t my first language.

“The leader isn’t just who wears the armband, but the person who fights for the club in many, many ways — for example I missed just one game last season.

“I’ve been captain at Athletico Paranaese, Brazil Youths and at Lyon. The gaffer has given me a big responsibility and I want to deliver something for him and the fans.”

Bruno also delivered a clear message on his commitment to the club, adding: “I’m very happy, I never said I would like to leave, I always said I would like to put my name in the club’s history”
