Newcastle United coach
Nigel Pearson has left the club after just over a year with the
Magpies.
Pearson, 44, took over as
caretaker manager at St James' Park for the second time following
Sam Allardyce's departure last month.
But the arrival of Kevin
Keegan and executive director Dennis Wise looks to have ended his
spell with the Magpies.
The former Stoke and West Brom
coach became Glenn Roeder's assistant at St James' Park in October
2006. <!-- E SF -->
He had his first caretaker
spell in charge of the club when Roeder resigned last
May.
Pearson, a former
Middlesbrough defender, was then in charge of the side for a second
spell during the 6-0 defeat to Manchester United and last month's
FA Cup third-round replay win over Stoke.
The victory over Championship
side Stoke was overshadowed by the announcement of Kevin Keegan as
manager, whose arrival has been followed by Wise, Tony Jimenez and
Jeff Vetere to the club.
Jimenez is vice-president of
player recruitment, while Vetere is working as technical
co-ordinator.
