Newcastle United's first-team coaching analyst Mark Leyland is leaving the club.
After only 14 months in charge, manager Eddie Howe will have to do without a key asset in his backroom staff.
Per the Daily Mail, Leyland is heading for Manchester City to further his career.
The ex-Burnley and Everton man, who also worked at Liverpool, will leave Newcastle at the end of the season.
His role at Newcastle involves analytical work and being a part of Howe's coaching team.
Manager Howe even praised Leyland last season for his impact at Newcastle.
