John Carver is set to stay with Newcaste United next season.
The Sunday Express says Toon have told interim head coach Carver that he is staying at St James' Park.
Although the Toon hierarchy are still looking for a successor to Alan Pardew, Carver will be offered a new contract in some capacity.
Owner Mike Ashley and chief executive Lee Charnley have been impressed with Carver's leadership qualities and loyalty to the club.
