Newcastle United: Eddie Howe steps down as head coach

Eddie Howe has stepped down as head coach of Newcastle United.

The 48-year-old has left after nearly five years in charge, following a disappointing season where the Magpies finished 12th in the Premier League.

Howe had helped the club earn Champions League qualification on two occasions, and win the League Cup in 2024-25.

“After a period of personal reflection, I have decided that now is the right time for me to step away from my role,” said Howe.
