Eddie Howe Set to Leave Newcastle as Matthias Jaissle Emerges as Favourite

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is set to leave the club after nearly five years in charge. Howe reportedly informed the club’s board that he wants to take a break from football, despite deciding at the end of last season that he would remain. The departure is said to be amicable. Al-Ahli coach Matthias Jaissle has emerged as the leading candidate to replace him. Newcastle’s majority owners, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, also oversee Al-Ahli, where the German coach currently works.
