Newcastle United appoint Steve McClaren as new manager

Newcastle United appoint Steve McClaren as their new head coach.

Newcastle United have appointed Steve McClaren as their new manager ahead of the 2015-16 season.

The former England coach has signed an initial three-year contract with the Magpies, which could be extended to eight depending on his performance.

"I am privileged to be appointed head coach of Newcastle United. This is a big club with a wonderful heritage," McClaren told the club's website.

"St James' Park is like a cathedral on a Saturday afternoon, a symbol for the city and I am excited to be given this opportunity.

"I know how important Newcastle United is to the city and the region."

McClaren was sacked as Derby County boss at the end of the season after failing to guide the Rams to a place in the Championship playoffs.

Earlier today, Newcastle dismissed interim manager John Carver and first-team coach Steve Stone.
