Comolli to add Newcastle director Silverstone to Juventus team

The Daily Mail says Silverstone has been suspended by Newcastle from his duties.

After three years at St James' Park, Silverstone will leave the English club, a decision made as part of a review of the first 100 days of new CEO David Hopkinson.

He is now set to move to Juve, where he join the staff of chief exec Damien Comolli.

Sources insist Silverstone will leave Newcastle on good terms, after he contributed to a 130% revenue boom under his leadership.
