Newcastle United announced Eddie Howe is leaving the club. The German coach is expected to take the job. Matthias Jaissle leads the shortlist.
He comes in at 41 years old. He manages Saudi side Al-Ahli at present.
The New York Times, SB Nation and Goal.com all back the move. The Independent points out Jaissle has a low profile and that would mean his debut Premier League job. Reports from that day in summer 2026 say the club favors him. The handover is near.
