DBasia.news – Newcastle United took advantage of the international break to recruit a new manager. 19 days after Steve Bruce’s departure, The Magpies, Newcastle’s nickname, recruited Eddie Howe as their new manager.
Howe (43 years old) arrived after leaving Bournemouth in 2021. Howe has had a good record since being both a player and a manager at Bournemouth. He is considered to be a talented manager from England with the ability to develop the talent of young players.
In his career at Bournemouth, Howe had experienced four different football divisions and five of them were in the Premier League (2015-2020). Newcastle signed him until 2024.
“Newcastle United are delighted to confirm the appointment of Eddie Howe as the club’s new head coach on a contract until the summer of 2024,” wrote Newcastle United’s official website.
Amanda Staveley, Co-Owner of Newcastle, also added that Howe has a good track record in the past with his transfer policy and philosophy of football.
“We are very impressed with Eddie through a rigorous recruitment process,” said Staveley.
“In addition to his clear achievements with AFC Bournemouth, where he had a transformational impact, he is a passionate and dynamic coach who has clear ideas about taking this team and club forward.”
“He is a perfect fit for what we are trying to build here. We are delighted to welcome Eddie and his staff to St. James’ Park and are looking forward to working together towards our collective ambition.”
Howe shared his comments and was honored to coach a historic club like Newcastle. He can’t wait to train with his new team.
“It is a great honor to be the head coach of a club with the status and history of Newcastle United. This is a proud day for me and my family,” Howe added.
“It’s a great opportunity, but there’s also a lot of work ahead of us and I’m eager to get into the training ground to start working with the players.”
“I want to thank the club owners for this opportunity and thank the club’s supporters for the incredible welcome they have given me. I am very excited to start our journey together.”
