It is reported that Eddie Howe is leaving his position as Newcastle's head coach after five years at St James' Park, according to BBC and Sky on Thursday.
Achievements and Pressure
The 48-year-old manager took over from Steve Bruce in November 2021. Under his guidance, the club won the League Cup in March 2025, which was the club's first major trophy since 1969. Furthermore, Eddie Howe led Newcastle to Champions League qualification in 2023 and 2025.
Reasons for Departure
However, last season he faced pressure as the 'Magpies' finished 12th in the Premier League, suffering 17 defeats out of 38 matches played. Recently, the squad has weakened due to the departures of Sandro Tonali to Tottenham and English forward Anthony Gordon to Barcelona.
Latest Developments
Speculation continues regarding the future of captain Bruno Guimarães. The last match under Howe's management was a 4-1 defeat against Championship side Bristol City in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday.
