Breaking News: Kemp leaves post to become City's scout

DAVE Kemp is to leave his post as Stoke City's assistant manager to become the club's chief scout.

Kemp will primarily cover the North and South American market, a move which suits him because his family home is in the United States.

Kemp's move is part of a backroom reshuffle which leaves Tony Pulis looking for an experienced coach. The Stoke manager has been linked to Sheffield United's assistant boss Sam Ellis.

However, Blades manager Kevin Blackwell is keen to keep Ellis at Bramall Lane.
