The former Chelsea midfielder officially took up his duties on Monday - and the Hammers responded to record a third home successive win.
Di Michele, on a season loan from Torino, set them on their way with a deflected effort after just eight minutes and then added another before half-time.
Matthew Etherington made it 3-0 before England striker Michael Owen salvaged a consolation for the visitors, who are in desperate need of direction without a manager and under an owner looking to get out as quickly as possible.
Given the club sponsor, holiday company XL, had gone bust, the Hammers had squad numbers on both the back and front of their shirts, while Newcastle have recently looked about as safe a bet as the Northern Rock.
