Matthias Jaissle emerges as favorite to replace Eddie Howe at Newcastle

Matthias Jaissle is the leading candidate to succeed Eddie Howe as head coach of Newcastle United. Howe is reportedly set to leave St James' Park after nearly five years, during which he secured the club's first domestic trophy in 70 years by winning the Carabao Cup in 2025. Jaissle, previously at RB Salzburg and currently managing Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia, has garnered attention due to his successful record and attacking style of play. Supporters may view Jaissle's arrival positively given his experience and success in both the Austrian Bundesliga and Asian Champions League. Newcastle, having finished 12th in the Premier League last season, begins their league campaign against Liverpool on August 23, 2026.
