Alan Pardew has been assured he won't be sacked at Newcastle United.
The Evening Chronicle says Pardew has been told his job is "safe" and that he now begin preparing for the 2014/15 season.
The Magpies are set to announce the news in due course but Pardew and his backroom staff will remain at St James' Park next term.
Pardew pocketed a bonus on Sunday for leading the team to a top 10 finish, which had been the target at the start of the season.
