Newcastle United have parted company with manager Chris Hughton following a recent dip in the team's fortunes.
The Magpies were beaten 3-1 at West Brom on Saturday, a week after holding Chelsea to a 1-1 draw, although that result followed a 5-1 defeat at Bolton.
Hughton guided Newcastle back into the Premier League this season after their relegation in the 2009-10 campaign.
Newcastle are currently 11th in the top flight, with five wins from 16 games - only two of those coming at home.
Rumours that the ex-Spurs defender was set to leave the club began circulating several weeks ago.
