Newcastle United are set to announce Steve McClaren as their new manager in the next 24 hours.

The club has also today announced that interim manager, John Carver, has left the club.

First-team coach Steve Stone has also left the club, as McClaren is expected to bring in his own back-room staff.

Former England boss McClaren left his job as Derby County manager after failing to lead the Rams out of the Championship last season.

Paul Simpson and Eric Steele, part of Derby’s coaching team, could well follow McClaren to Tyneside following Carver and Stone’s departures.

50 year-old Carver had hoped to keep the managerial post on a permanent basis but could only manage three wins from 20 games in charge of the Magpies.

McClaren won the 2004 League Cup with Middlesbrough, the club’s only major trophy, before leaving to manage England in 2006.

Following the disappointment of missing out on Euro 2008, the York-born manager was sacked and headed to the continent to resume his club managerial career.

He guided Dutch side FC Twente to their first Eredivisie title in 2010, before a difficult spell with Wolfsburg in Germany.

A short stint at Nottingham Forest followed before McClaren went back to FC Twente in January 2012.

Most recently, the 54 year-old has spent two years with Derby County and rejected the chance to manage Newcastle twice last year.

However, it is thought that Newcastle will announce McClaren as their new manager on Wednesday.
