Newcastle United are expected to confirm the departure of manager Eddie Howe after nearly five years in charge. Multiple outlets report Howe has decided to step away from management, with his exit arriving on the eve of the new Premier League season.
The Athletic and other reports say Howe’s spell includes a major highlight: Newcastle’s 2025 Carabao Cup success, their first trophy in 70 years. Several outlets also reference a difficult 2025/26 period that preceded the change, including unrest following poor results and a mid-summer defeat in pre-season. While the basic facts of Howe stepping down are consistent, outlets differ slightly on timing and emphasis—some frame it as an immediate decision that the club will soon formalize, while others focus on the surrounding performance context.
A consistent thread across sources is that Matthias Jaissle, currently head coach at Al Ahli, is lined up as the next Newcastle head coach. Sky Sports and The Athletic both describe the appointment as imminent or confirmed, with reporting suggesting Newcastle will announce Jaissle shortly after Howe’s exit is finalized.
