London - John Carver has left
Newcastle United following a five-
month stint as manager of the
Premier League club, according to
British media reports on Tuesday.
Carver, 50, was promoted from his
role as assistant when manager Alan
Pardew left Newcastle for Crystal
Palace in January, but a slump in
form saw the club avoid relegation
to the Championship by only a
whisker.
Media outlets including the Press
Association and the BBC reported
that Carver has left Newcastle along
with coach Steve Stone.
Newcastle are expected to appoint
the former England manager Steve
McLaren as the permanent successor
to Pardew later this week.
McLaren was sacked by Derby County
last month after the club failed to
qualify for the Championship play-
offs.
