English Premier News :: Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear out for 2 months at least

Posted on 2009-02-13 by Gooner

Newcastle United manager Joe Kinnear will need to rest for at least two months after undergoing triple heart bypass surgery on Friday.

The 62-year-old manager has a history of heart trouble and was taken ill before Newcastle's match at West Brom last Saturday, which the Magpies won 3-2.

If he does return after eight weeks he would be charge for six league games. Kinnear took over as Magpies boss in September 2008, replacing Kevin Keegan. He originally arrived as an interim manager and his current deal ends at the end of the season.

Kinnear had a heart attack 10 years ago while in charge of Wimbledon and spent several years out of football.
