Eddie Howe resigns as Newcastle manager

Eddie Howe has left his role as Newcastle manager after five years at St James’ Park.

Howe left his role as Newcastle head coach on Thursday, following discussions with the club hierarchy.

The 48-year-old manager replaced Steve Bruce in 2021 and won the Carabao Cup in March 2025 – the club’s first major trophy since 1969.

The former Bournemouth boss also led Newcastle to Champions League qualification in 2023 and 2025.

But he came under pressure last season as the Magpies finished 12th in the Premier League, with 17 defeats in their 38 games.

Speculation continues over the future of captain Bruno Guimaraes.

Howe’s final match in charge was a 4-1 defeat to Championship side Bristol City in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday.
