Newcastle United make another significant behind-the-scenes change under Jaissle

Interestingly, his arrival at Newcastle is closely linked to Bunce, who previously worked at the Ligue 1 club before moving to Tyneside.

Newcastle will hope Le Meur can make a positive impact behind the scenes as Jaissle looks to build a team capable of competing at the highest level.

The appointment represents another significant addition to Newcastle’s revamped coaching and performance department.
