Eddie Howe confirms Newcastle exit: 'Right time'

Eddie Howe has resigned as Newcastle United head coach after nearly five years in charge, with the club officially confirming his departure on Friday. The 48-year-old leaves having ended the club's 70-year wait for domestic silverware by winning the Carabao Cup in 2025 and guiding them to two Champions League qualifications. However, a disappointing 2024-25 Premier League season in which Newcastle finished 12th, combined with a difficult summer transfer window, preceded his exit, which became public the morning after a 4-1 pre-season friendly defeat at Bristol City.
