Newcastle United stated Eddie Howe is leaving the club. The Austrian-German coach is expected to take the job. Matthias Jaissle is the leading candidate.
He is forty-one years of age. He manages Saudi side Al-Ahli at present.
The New York Times, SB Nation and Goal.com all back the decision. The Independent points out Jaissle flies under the radar and that would mean his maiden Premier League role. Reports from that day in summer 2026 say the club prefers him. The handover is close.
