Eddie Howe Steps Down as Newcastle Manager; Jaissle Expected to Replace Him

Newcastle faces management continuity risk and tactical uncertainty with less than four weeks until its Premier League season opener against Liverpool on August 23. The club has already sold three key players (Gordon, Tonali, Isak) worth approximately £269 million combined, creating significant squad instability. An interim structure led by sporting director Ross Wilson during the coaching search adds uncertainty in critical pre-season preparation and player integration. Jaissle's appointment would mark a shift to a manager with Asian Champions League elite titles but limited recent European top-tier experience.
