Overview
- Eddie Howe resigned on Thursday after five seasons in charge and stated he intends to pause his managerial career.
- Newcastle are in advanced talks to appoint Matthias Jaissle from Al Ahli as Howe’s successor according to multiple reports.
- The club has already negotiated the sales of Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, developments that sources say helped drive Howe’s decision.
- Howe’s exit has intensified interest in Bruno Guimarães, with media reporting Arsenal is preparing an offer near £70 million and other first-team players now weighing their futures.
- Howe leaves a team that won the English League Cup and qualified twice for the Champions League, and the club now faces a fast-moving transfer window and squad reshuffle before the season starts.
