Eddie Howe set to leave Newcastle as manager - reports

The 48-year-old has been in charge for almost five years.

EDDIE HOWE IS set to step down as Newcastle boss after almost five years in charge, the Press Association understands.

The 48-year-old arrived on Tyneside in November 2021 and ended the club’s 70-year wait for domestic silverware with Carabao Cup glory in 2025.

His time in charge also saw the Magpies twice qualify for the Champions League.

However, last season was a disappointment as Newcastle limped to 12th place in the Premier League.

The Magpies have also endured a difficult summer transfer window with the departure of stars Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, while speculation continues over the future of captain Bruno Guimaraes.

Howe was in charge for a 4-1 pre-season friendly defeat at Bristol City on Wednesday night.

It is understood that Howe’s departure from the club is amicable.
