🚨 Eddie Howe leaves Newcastle United as head coach

Eddie Howe has departed Newcastle United as head coach with immediate effect after five years at St James' Park, the club has confirmed. The 48-year-old is said to be stepping down to take a break from football.

Howe came under pressure last season as Newcastle finished 12th in the Premier League, losing 17 of their 38 league games. His final match in charge was a 4-1 pre-season defeat to Bristol City.

According to reports, a replacement has already been identified, with Al-Ahli's coach linked with the role. Further details on the successor are expected imminently.
