Newcastle appoint new technical director - but are still hunting for Paul Mitchell replacement - as Magpies continue rebuilding backroom team
Newcastle have appointed a new technical director as they look to continue rebuilding their backroom staff ahead of the new season. The Magpies have been in a transitional period off-the-field, with former sporting director Paul Mitchell leaving his role after just one year and without making a signing at the club. It was announced in May that Mitchell would be leaving by 'mutual consent' at the end of June. However Mail Sport reported in June that the 43-year-old had overseen a handover. Though no one has been directly appointed to replace him, and the search for his replacement is being led by Nolan Partners. As revealed in June, Nottingham Forest chief Ross Wilson has been among the candidates and former Arsenal assistant sporting director Jason Ayto was to be spoken to by Nolan. Mail Sport also revealed that Julian Ward, Liverpool 's technical director, was another name in the frame. But Sudarshan Gopaladesikan has been appointed as the club's new technical director, and will report to a new sporting director once they have been appointed. They are still on the hunt for a replacement for Paul Mitchell, however, who left the club after just a year Gopaladesikan formerly worked with Atalanta, where he was the director of football intelligence. Newcastle say he will 'lead football data operations for our men's, women's and academy teams'. He said upon the move: 'I'm delighted and honoured to be joining Newcastle United as technical director. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with clubs that have deeply passionate fanbases, and Newcastle stands out for its unique connection between the team, the city, and its supporters. 'I'm excited to work alongside the club's talented staff to identify what helps give us a competitive edge. Most of all, I'm looking forward to experiencing the incredible matchday atmosphere at St. James' Park and being part of this proud football family and community.' He joined Italian side Atalanta in 2022, having previously worked with Benfica in Portugal. There, he worked as head of sports data science. The Athletic report he had a key role in Atalanta's signing of Rasmus Hojlund from Sturn Graz - a player the club went onto make profit of more than £50millon on. Newcastle, meanwhile, asked Andy Howe to work with Nickson as they look to build a squad capable of challenging on a domestic and European front this season. Howe, the nephew of head coach Eddie Howe, joined the Magpies in 2021 as head of technical scouting before being promoted to assistant head of first-team recruitment. He has played a key role in the signings of Bruno Guimaraes, Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento and is well thought of within the club. Nickson and Andy Howe had absorbed the tasks that would have been the responsibility of Mitchell.

EXCLUSIVE Newcastle target rival Premier League chief for vacant sporting director role - as Magpies continue search for Paul Mitchell's successor
Nottingham Forest chief Ross Wilson is among the names in the frame for the sporting director vacancy at Newcastle, Mail Sport can reveal. Recruitment specialists Nolan Partners are leading the search for Paul Mitchell's replacement. He will leave at the end of June after less than a year in the role. Sources believe an appointment remains unlikely before then, but interviews are set to take place with several candidates. Wilson and former Arsenal assistant sporting director Jason Ayto are said to be among those who have had contact with Nolans. While no decision has been made and there are other names being considered, it is that of Wilson which appears to have some support internally. The 41-year-old has been Forest's sporting director and chief football officer since 2023 having previously held similar roles at Rangers and Southampton. He is well thought of within the game and is seen as a professional operator. Crucially, and this is the remit Nolans are working to, he has Premier League experience. Newcastle's owners are keen to learn by past mistakes, and the appointment of Mitchell by chief executive Darren Eales last summer was said to be rushed through after first choice Dougie Freedman turned down the club's offer. Mitchell is yet to sign a first-team player and his relationships with several staff have been uneasy from the point of his arrival. That is why the club will take their time in choosing the right successor, especially as Mitchell's predecessor, Dan Ashworth, also left abruptly for Manchester United last year. Ayto, 40, is another name mentioned in recent days, but it is not thought he yet has the experience for the role. In the meantime, recruitment chief Steve Nickson and assistant Andy Howe will assume greater responsibility, with Mitchell now less than three weeks from his departure date.
