Newcastle United has confirmed that Steve McClaren is the club's new head coach.
Steve McClaren has been appointed as Newcastle United head coach on an initial three-year deal that could be extended to eight.
The Premier League club announced on Wednesday that the former England and Middlesbrough manager has succeeded John Carver, who had been in charge since the end of December after Alan Pardew left for Crystal Palace. Carver's exit was confirmed on Tuesday.
Carver preserved Newcastle's top-flight status with a 2-0 victory over West Ham on the final day of the 2014-15 campaign, which was the side's first win in 11 games.
