Newcastle United revealed Eddie Howe will leave the club. The continental coach is expected to take the job. Matthias Jaissle is the leading candidate.
He is 41 years of age. He is in charge of Saudi side Al-Ahli right now.
The New York Times, SB Nation and Goal.com all report on the switch. The Independent adds Jaissle is little-known and that would mean his maiden Premier League posting. Reports from late July 2026 say the club prefers him. The change is close.
