Newcastle United announced Eddie Howe will leave the club. The Austrian-German coach is expected to take the job. Matthias Jaissle has emerged as the frontrunner.
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 move. The Independent points out Jaissle has a low profile and it would mark his maiden Premier League role. Reports from late July 2026 say the club wants him. The handover is close.
