Sunderland's rivals Newcastle United plunged into chaos on eve of Premier League season as Eddie Howe departs
Eddie Howe is set to leave as Newcastle United boss.
Eddie Howe is set to leave as Newcastle boss after almost five years in charge, according to reports.
Howe, 48, secured the club’s first major silverware in 70 years when he guided them to Carabao Cup success in 2025 and twice qualified for the Champions League since taking over in November 2021.
However, last season was a disappointment as Newcastle limped to 12th place in the Premier League.
On the back of that the Magpies have had a difficult summer with stars Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali departing, while speculation continues over the future of captain Bruno Guimaraes.
Howe was in charge for a 4-1 pre-season friendly defeat at Bristol City on Wednesday night.
