LONDON, June 10 (Reuters) - Newcastle United confirmed on Wednesday interim manager John Carver and his assistant Steve Stone have left the club amid talks of former England boss Steve McClaren taking over the job.
"After discussions with John it was mutually agreed that in the best interests of the club moving forward, and to enable the new head coach to build his own coaching team, we would go our separate ways," managing director Lee Charnley said in a statement.
"He is a man of great character and dignity and will always be welcome at Newcastle United.
