Newcastle United stated Eddie Howe will leave the club. The German coach is expected to take the job. Matthias Jaissle has emerged as the frontrunner.
He is 41 years old. He coaches Saudi side Al-Ahli today.
The New York Times, SB Nation and Goal.com all back the pick. The Independent points out Jaissle is little-known and that would mean his maiden Premier League job. Reports from that day in summer 2026 say the club is pushing for him. The handover is close.
