Newcastle United have today announced their head of goalkeeping Simon Smith will leave the club.
Smith has worked as part of the Magpies backroom staff for over a decade across two spells. His first spell saw him work under Ruud Gullit and Sir Bobby Robson between 1999 and 2004, before making a return to St James' Park back in 2015.
During his time away from Tyneside, Smith held roles with the FA, Canadian Soccer Association and LA Galaxy before his 2015 return, which saw him work alongside Steve McClaren, Rafael Benitez, Steve Bruce and Eddie Howe.
