Head Coach Nelson Jardim to leave Newport by mutual consent
The 46 year old has guided the club to League Two safety
Newport head coach Nelson Jardim has left the club by mutual consent after securing their Sky Bet League Two status with two games remaining.
The 46-year-old moved to Rodney Parade in July, taking the reins a fortnight after initially joining as 'lead coach' while the Welsh club sought a new boss.
Jardim steered Newport to safety this term and leaves the side 20th in the standings ahead of his contract expiring in the summer.
Newport chairman Huw Jenkins, who worked with the Portuguese at Swansea, said: "I can't thank Nelson enough for his hard work, commitment and loyalty, especially as he left his young family in Portugal to take on the role.
"He took on a tough challenge with lots of changes at the club from a squad overhaul to the way we operate and work. His main goal was to keep the club in League Two during a season of transition so that we can start building for the future."
Newport have yet to confirm who will lead the side against Fleetwood and Tranmere, with Jenkins adding: "We will be looking to bring in the right manager or head coach to build on those last 12 months so we can start the season strongly; move the club forward and challenge for the top part of League Two."
