Newcastle close the Eddie Howe chapter
Eddie Howe has left. The Englishman confirmed his exit on Thursday, ending almost five years in charge at St James’ Park. Nobody pushed him out. He decided.
That is what makes it strange. Howe walked with Newcastle sitting comfortably in the top third of the Premier League, the new season days away and the window still wide open. Managers rarely give up a seat that good.
Try it for $0.99.
Jaissle, the Saudi owners’ German bet
Newcastle moved fast and landed Matthias Jaissle. The 38-year-old German comes in from Al Ahli for a fee around 11 million euros, and he has put pen to a four-year contract.
His record backs the move. After building his name at Red Bull Salzburg, Jaissle won the Asian Champions League with Al Ahli twice, in 2025 and 2026. Newcastle’s owners, tied to the same kingdom, knew exactly what they were signing.
He meets his squad today at the La Manga camp. Straight in at the deep end.
The Guimaraes question won’t wait
Jaissle inherits a dressing room already unsettled. Bruno Guimaraes has Arsenal circling, and his future is the talk of the camp before the new man has even unpacked. Transfer season waits for nobody.
