Newcastle's new head coach Matthias Jaissle has underlined the club's ambition despite a string of high-profile exits including manager Eddie Howe, but warned success would not come overnight.
Howe left St James' Park at the end of July after nearly five years in charge, with a clutch of senior players -- captain Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon -- all departing during the summer transfer window.
Saudi-backed Newcastle have signed a group of young players including Bazoumana Toure, Sean Steur and Aladji Bamba, but the departures have left the squad short of experience.
Nevertheless, former RB Salzburg and Al-Ahli boss Jaissle remains upbeat.
"We are ambitious. That's the most important thing -- also why I decided to come here. But this will not happen overnight," he said at his first press conference at St James' Park on Tuesday.
