Eddie Howe will stand down from his position as Newcastle boss in the coming days, according to The Athletic.
Al-Ahli coach Matthias Jaissle is reported be his replacement having led the Saudi Arabian side, who like Newcastle are owned by the country’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), to two Asian Champions League successes.
Howe took charge in November 2021, shortly after the club’s takeover by PIF, and earned cult status on Tyneside by leading them to their first domestic silverware in 70 years when they won the 2025 EFL Cup.
But cracks started to appear last season with criticism of his tactics and substitutions as Newcastle could only manage a 12th-placed finish in the Premier League table with his reputation diminished further by home-and-away defeats to bitter rivals Sunderland.
Newcastle have sold Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali this summer and captain Bruno Guimaraes is also pushing for a move to Arsenal.
