Newcastle assistant boss Graeme Jones says he must be 'sensitive' to the longstanding relationship between Steve Bruce and his coaches - but hopes to help bring a 'style of play' to benefit the team.
Sportsmail revealed on Saturday that the club were looking to bring in a third assistant manager to help Bruce, who has worked with Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence for several years.
Jones' arrival was confirmed after Newcastle agreed a £250,000 compensation package with Bournemouth, where he was first-team coach.
It is understood the 50-year-old Geordie has been given assurances that he would not lose his job were there to be a change of management team this season.
