Newcastle United confirmed Eddie Howe is leaving the club. The Austrian-German coach is lined up for the job. Matthias Jaissle is the name being pushed.
He is 41 years old. He manages Saudi side Al-Ahli at present.
The national outlets, fan sites and the goal outlet all flag the pick. The Independent flags Jaissle is a relative unknown and that would mean his debut Premier League post. Reports from the end of July 2026 say the club prefers him. The switch is near.
