Derby boss Steve McClaren is expected to land the manager’s job full-time in the summer.
McClaren will not have any discussions over his future until the season is over as he is focussed on the job of trying to win the Rams promotion to the Premier League, but he is a top target as Newcastle look for a fresh start.
Carver is likely to be kept on the staff after impressing with the way he has managed the club since Pardew departed for Crystal Palace.
