Eddie Howe the man to lead Newcastle united
Newcastle United have named former Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe as the club’s new manager, it was announced on Monday.
Howe’s arrival marks the first appointment at the club since the £305 million takeovers by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund on Oct. 7. He has signed a contract until 2024.
Despite all the drama that surrounded the ‘almost appointment of Unia Emery and the public PR disaster, Newcastle United have found a man who is a good fit for the club at this time. He is the perfect man to start the development for the new era under the Arabian rule.
Eddie Howe is a hands-on coach with a reputation for playing attacking football, who also cares deeply for his players and is capable of rallying a team. The perfect appointment, it seems.
He is great at working with and developing young talent and most significantly, Newcastle United will appreciate the football Eddie Howe will bring to hungry fans at St James Park.
Newcastle United are second from the bottom in the Premier League table and have yet to win a match in all competitions this season. Howe’s first match in charge after the international break is a home game against newly-promoted Brentford.
Eddie Howe – The hands-on approach for Newcastle United
Howe’s drive is primarily focused on his players. The 43-year-old is extremely hands-on on the training ground, as demonstrated in a video produced by Bournemouth from their pre-season camp in La Manga in 2019.
Forming a strong bond with his squad was another of the hallmarks of Howe’s time at Bournemouth, particularly on the journey to the Premier League.
The group was one of no great repute, but united around a common goal, and with astute coaching, they became stronger than the sum of their parts.
Part of that was the constant reminder of just who they were playing for – the fans. Newcastle is a club that requires a manager to tap into the passion of the supporters and forge a strong bond between them and the team.
Howe replaces Steve Bruce, who left Newcastle by mutual consent two weeks after the takeover.
Newcastle were initially interested in Villarreal coach Unai Emery, but he publicly committed his long-term future to the LaLiga club.
