Eddie Howe resigns as Newcastle United head coach after five years

Newcastle United announced on 31 July 2026 that Eddie Howe had stepped down as head coach after nearly five years in charge. Howe said the decision was “in the best interests of both myself and the club” and that he needed to “recharge and take a break”.

During his tenure the club won the Carabao Cup in March 2025 – its first major trophy in 70 years – and qualified for the Champions League in 2023 and again in 2025. The Magpies finished 12th in the 2025‑26 Premier League season and were eliminated in the Champions League last‑16.

The summer transfer window saw key departures: Anthony Gordon to Barcelona, Sandro Tonali to Tottenham Hotspur and captain Bruno Guimarães linked with a move to Arsenal. The club’s Saudi‑backed ownership confirmed that the recruitment of a new head coach is at an advanced stage, with German manager Matthias Jaissle, currently of Al‑Ahli Jeddah, named the favourite successor.
