Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is widely expected to leave Newcastle, according to BBC Sport. The 48-year-old, who replaced Steve Bruce in 2021, has helped The Magpies win some silverware during his time in charge at the club, including the 2025 Carabao Cup.

Matthias Jaissle, manager of Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, is expected to be appointed as Howe’s successor. This news story has been circling around the football community for some time, but the fact that it’s looking increasingly likely to happen is still a shock.

Allegedly, it’s Newcastle’s transfer business and their approach to the market, one of the main points of Howe’s frustration. One thing is for certain: German Jaissle, who will not be very well known to Newcastle fans, will have a big job on his hands.

Yes, he may have had success at RB Salzburg and Al-Ahli, but Newcastle United is a whole diffeent ball game.
