Eddie Howe departed his role as manager of Newcastle United in July 2026, following a nearly five-year tenure that included winning a domestic trophy and securing Champions League qualification. Sporting director Ross Wilson stated the club had been preparing for a managerial change for approximately nine months after Howe decided to step down to take a break.

Matthias Jaissle, formerly of RB Salzburg and Al Ahli, was appointed as Howe’s successor to implement a high-pressing tactical approach. As the 2026/27 Premier League season began, the club entered a period of transition characterized by a new transfer policy focused on younger talent, resulting in the signing of six players aged 24 or under. Following his exit from Newcastle, Howe has been linked to the England national team managerial position.
