Newcastle United confirmed Eddie Howe will leave the club. The German coach is lined up for the job. Matthias Jaissle has emerged as the frontrunner.
He stands at forty-one years of age. He manages Saudi side Al-Ahli at present.
The leading outlets all back the switch. The Independent points out Jaissle is a relative unknown and this would be his maiden Premier League posting. Reports from that day in summer 2026 say the club prefers him. The handover is imminent.
