Eddie Howe has vowed that his quest to bring the 'best staff' to Newcastle United will never stop as the Magpies head coach looks to get even more out of his players.
There have been a number of changes in the coaching, analysis and scouting departments since Howe took charge last November. Assistant Jason Tindall; first-team coaches Stephen Purches and Simon Weatherstone; head of performance Dan Hodges; coach analyst Mark Leyland; and head of technical scouting Andy Howe have all followed Howe to Newcastle after previously working with the head coach.
Newcastle have since launched a search for an experienced sports performance nutritionist to ensure the first-team squad have the right fuel at the right time to deliver optimum performance. It is a crucial role in the modern game and Jurgen Klopp even described Liverpool's head of nutrition, Mona Nemmer, as one of 'my most important signings'.
