Two coaches have left Newcastle United following Eddie Howe's appointment.

Stephen Clemence and Steve Agnew have left their roles at St James' Park as Howe continues to shake up his backroom staff.

The Athletic reports Clemence and Agnew have departed and Howe will be joined by Jason Tindall, Stephen Purches, Simon Weatherstone and Dan Hodges.

Tindall will be his No2, with Purches and Weatherstone as first-team coaches and Hodges as head of sport science.

Interim boss Graeme Jones, who took charge of the Toon's last three games, will stay in a coaching role though.

Howe announced himself that his trusted assistants from his days at Bournemouth would be joining him in the North-East.

However there has been no official announcement from the Magpies regarding Howe's backroom staff.
