Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is set to leave the club with immediate effect, sources have told BBC Sport. Howe came under pressure last season as Newcastle finished 12th in the Premier League after losing 17 of their 38 games. Matthias Jaissle, manager of Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, is expected to be appointed as Howe’s successor. He oversaw more Premier League wins than any other Newcastle manager. AdvertisementJaissle, Howe’s expected replacement, joined Al-Ahli in 2023 and led the Saudi club to back-to-back AFC Champions League titles in 2024-25 and 2025-26.
