Hughton will take time finding Calderwood replacement

NEWCASTLE United will not rush into making an appointment in their search for a new assistant manager as Chris Hughton considers a number of potential replacements.
A wide variety of names have been banded about, but it will be left up to Hughton to make the decision on who tops the wanted list.
Hughton met managing director Derek Llambias yesterday, although the search for a new assistant manager was not the only thing on the agenda given the events of the last few days.
Newcastle’s manager intends to ponder the issue over the next few days and will then make the board aware of his preferred choice.
Hughton already has an idea of who he would like to bring in, but he will not reveal their identity at this stage as he is not sure whether he can get them.
He said: “It will 100% be my decision because it has to be. He is going to be my assistant so it is important I know I can work with that person.
“I’m looking for someone I have worked with, or at least someone I know I could work with. It is a very important relationship and I’m going to think about it for a while.
“I’ve given myself a few days to think it over and then I’ll let the club know who I want. I hope we can get them, but you don’t know what barriers will be put in our way.
