Eddie Howe departs Newcastle after nearly five years
Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
Eddie Howe has left Newcastle United after almost five years and 231 matches as head coach, following a poor pre-season defeat and a disappointing Premier League campaign. His departure represents a significant change for the club, which has also lost key players and faces uncertainty over captain Bruno Guimarães.
Howe joined in November 2021 and delivered Newcastle’s first major trophy since 1955 by winning the Carabao Cup in 2023, while also securing Champions League qualification with a fourth-place finish in 2022-23. Last season Newcastle finished 12th, winning only five of their final 17 league matches, and recent departures have included Sandro Tonali to Tottenham and Anthony Gordon to Barcelona.
