Newcastle bosses are said to have been impressed by Carver's leadership skills

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.

The 50-year-old Geordie would love the head coach’s job on a permanent basis and although that hasn’t been ruled out, it’s still likely that he will be offered a support role at the club.
