Newcastle tonight expressed their sadness and disappointment at Keegan's decision.
The Magpies insisted they had tried to come up with solutions to the problems he had raised in recent days, and appeared surprised by the news of his departure tonight.
A statement said: "Newcastle United Football Club is sad and disappointed that Kevin Keegan has resigned.
"Over the last few days, the club has devoted itself to the discussions it has held with Kevin and as a result of those discussions, had put together a set of practical suggestions for how to move forward.
"Today, the club made it clear to Kevin that if he had any outstanding concerns on its proposals, he should raise them with the club.
"The club regrets that Kevin has, instead of taking up that offer, chosen to resign."
