Rafa Benitez will leave Newcastle on June 30 after the club announced that they have failed to agree a new contract with their current manager.
The former Liverpool boss has been in talks with the St James’ Park outfit for months regarding a fresh deal but no breakthrough has been forthcoming.
He leaves having spent three full seasons with the club in which he oversaw their promotion back to the Premier League and re-established them as a top-flight club.
