On the afternoon of July 30th, manager Eddie Howe left his position at Newcastle after discussions with the club's leadership. The English strategist had spent considerable time considering this decision and ultimately chose to leave.
According to Sky Sports, the 48-year-old manager believed he could recruit several players to take Newcastle far this season. However, Newcastle sold Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon, and that was one of the reasons for Howe's departure.
European media also emphasized that there was no discord in the relationship between manager Eddie Howe and the Newcastle hierarchy. On the contrary, Newcastle highly valued the 48-year-old coach and tried to persuade him to stay, but without success.
Currently, Newcastle has not been given any information, and even the players have not received any official notification.
On the other hand, Newcastle are urgently searching for a replacement for manager Eddie Howe as the 2026-2027 season approaches. Al Ahli's head coach, Matthias Jaissle, is the leading candidate, and negotiations between the two sides are reportedly in their final stages.
Eddie Howe managed Newcastle from 2021 before transforming the Magpies into a new force in English football . Under Howe, Newcastle qualified for the Champions League twice and won the League Cup in 2025, ending a 70-year trophy drought.
