Newcastle United announced Eddie Howe is set to depart the club. The German coach is lined up for the job. Matthias Jaissle has emerged as the frontrunner.
He is forty-one years old. He coaches Saudi side Al-Ahli today.
The New York Times, SB Nation and Goal.com all flag the move. The Independent flags Jaissle flies under the radar and it would mark his first Premier League job. Reports from that day in summer 2026 say the club wants him. The switch will happen soon.
