Profile
Eddie Howe is the manager of Newcastle United, where he has overseen a significant period of investment and restructuring since arriving in November 2021. The former defender has established a clear footballing philosophy at St James' Park, emphasising pressing, athleticism and attacking intent whilst building a squad capable of competing at the top of the Premier League.
Howe began his managerial career at Bournemouth in 2009, where he spent over a decade overseeing the club's rise from the lower divisions to the top flight. He secured promotion to the Premier League twice and guided Bournemouth to consecutive top-half finishes, earning widespread respect for his progressive approach and development of young talent. Before Bournemouth, he had managed Burnley for a brief spell and combined a modest playing career with early coaching roles. His appointment at Newcastle represented a significant step up, and he has since become a central figure in the club's ambitious plans under new ownership.
