His managerial career was initially successful, once more helping Newcastle into the top flight, , and, building up a team the like of which had not been seen in England for several decades, led them to massive popularity and on-field success in the 1992-93 season: on 1 January 1993 they had a twelve point lead over their nearest rivals, [[Manchester United]], only for frailties in the team's defense, and in the psychology of Keegan himself, to allow Man U to grasp victory at the last gasp.
