Newcastle players embarked on their preseason training camp in Spain on Friday, with their coach's future hanging in the balance less than a month before the Premier League season commences. Media reports strongly indicate that Eddie Howe is expected to depart, with German coach Matthias Jaissle being eyed as his successor.
Jaissle, 38, previously managed Saudi club Al-Ahli, leading them to consecutive Asian Champions League Elite titles. He also had success with Salzburg, winning multiple Austrian league titles. His potential move to Newcastle comes as players like Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali have departed, and captain Bruno Guimaraes faces transfer speculation.
The team's Spanish training camp will conclude on August 8th with a match against Valencia. Newcastle's Premier League campaign kicks off on August 23rd at home against Liverpool. Howe had a nearly five-year tenure, notably securing Champions League qualification twice and winning the English League Cup in 2025, ending a 70-year wait for a major trophy.
