“Newcastle United Star’s SHOCKING Exit Stuns Fans – You Won’t Believe Why He Left After JUST 12 Months!”

Mitchell’s departure from Newcastle United, described as by mutual consent, comes just as CEO Darren Eales prepares to step down due to health concerns.

In a statement shared via The Guardian, Mitchell expressed appreciation for his time at the club:

“I’d like to thank everyone at Newcastle United for their support over the last year—Eddie Howe, Becky Langley, the players, staff, owners, and fans.

It has been an honour to be part of this club and to work alongside incredible individuals.

“I’m stepping away at a moment that feels right for both myself and the club, especially with Darren Eales—someone I’ve worked closely with—also departing.

Newcastle is in great hands both on and off the pitch, and in a strong position to continue progressing. I wish everyone involved with the club a bright and successful future.”

Mitchell played a pivotal role in shaping Newcastle’s recruitment strategy and off-pitch restructuring.

His efforts helped lay the groundwork for a sustainable, modern footballing infrastructure designed to keep Newcastle competitive in the Premier League and European competitions.

The club has now begun the search for a replacement, aiming to maintain their momentum as they head into the summer.

Mitchell, known for his previous success at Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, and AS Monaco, arrived at Newcastle with a strong reputation for identifying top talent and building lasting football projects.

His exit leaves a significant gap in the club’s leadership and raises questions about the next steps in their long-term strategy.

Newcastle, who ended the season on a high and aim to rejoin the top-four race, are now focused on securing a successor who can continue driving the club’s ambitious vision.

In related news, striker Callum Wilson is also reportedly expected to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
