Eddie Howe Leaves Newcastle United After Five Years
Eddie Howe is departing from his position as the manager of Newcastle United after five years at St James’ Park, as reported by the BBC and Sky on Thursday. The 48-year-old took over from Steve Bruce in November 2021 and achieved significant milestones, including winning the League Cup in March 2025, marking the club's first major trophy since 1969.
Under Howe's leadership, Newcastle qualified for the Champions League in both 2023 and 2025. However, he faced criticism last season as the team finished 12th in the Premier League, suffering 17 defeats in 38 matches.
The club has also been affected by recent player departures, including Sandro Tonali to Tottenham and Anthony Gordon to Barcelona, with ongoing speculation regarding the future of captain Bruno Guimaraes. Howe's final match in charge was a 4-1 defeat to Championship side Bristol City in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday.
