Newcastle United revealed Eddie Howe is leaving the club. The German coach is set to take the job. Matthias Jaissle is the name being pushed.
He comes in at 41 years old. He is in charge of Saudi side Al-Ahli right now.
The three outlets, the paper of record, the fan blog and the goal-scoring outlet all report on the decision. The Independent adds Jaissle is little-known and that would mean his debut Premier League post. Reports from July 30, 2026 say the club prefers him. The change is close.
