Newcastle United stated Eddie Howe is set to depart the club. The Austrian-German coach is lined up for the job. Matthias Jaissle has emerged as the frontrunner.
He comes in at 41 years of age. He manages Saudi side Al-Ahli at present.
The leading outlets all back the pick. The Independent points out Jaissle has a low profile and it would mark his first Premier League posting. Reports from late July 2026 say the club favors him. The handover is close.
