Wilson, who previously worked alongside Gerrard during the Englishman’s successful spell at Ibrox, recently completed his move to St James’ Park after leaving Nottingham Forest. The pair forged a close working relationship during their time in Glasgow, where they played key roles in ending Celtic’s domestic dominance by winning the 2020/21 Scottish Premiership title.
Gerrard was quick to congratulate Wilson on his new challenge, describing him as a “top professional” and a “brilliant partner to work with.” The former Rangers boss added that he has no doubt Wilson will “bring the same level of drive, structure and ambition” to Newcastle’s recruitment department.
Wilson’s arrival is seen as a major coup for the Magpies, as he reunites with several figures he previously worked with in the Premier League.
For Gerrard, who continues to be linked with a return to management following recent talks with Rangers, the message also serves as a reminder of the strong professional relationships he built during his time in Scotland.
