02/06/16
Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez has lost his assistant Fabio Pecchia, who has decided to take over as boss at Hellas Verona.
The Italian side finished bottom of Serie A last season and swooped to sign Pecchia, 42, who was Benitez's No 2 at Napoli and Real Madrid before following him to St James' Park.
Newcastle were relegated to the Championship under the pair and will now begin their search for a new assistant.
