Newcastle United are poised to appoint Matthias Jaissle as the successor to Eddie Howe, who has left the club with immediate effect. Howe's departure comes after five years at the helm, during which he guided the team to their first major trophy since 1955 by winning the Carabao Cup. The decision to leave was reportedly influenced by a perceived loss of control over the club's transfer activities.

Matthias Jaissle, aged 38, has been coaching Al-Ahli since 2023. This Saudi club shares ownership with Newcastle United, both being under Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). Before his move to the Middle East, Jaissle managed RB Salzburg in Austria. During his tenure there, he secured domestic doubles and guided the team to the knockout stages of the Champions League. His previous coaching roles included leading RB Salzburg's U18s and managing FC Liefering, Salzburg's feeder club.
Jaissle's playing career was spent as a defender for Hoffenheim before retiring in 2014. His coaching philosophy is described as high-intensity, drawing influence from former coach Ralf Rangnick. He aims to apply immediate pressure on opponents and transition quickly towards the opposition's goal upon winning possession, a style he characterises as very vertical.
The German manager has led Al-Ahli to consecutive Asian Champions League titles. He has expressed a desire to coach abroad in different cultures and work in English, his non-native language. Jaissle has spoken about his approach to managing high-profile players, stating he treats them with the same respect and demands the same commitment as younger players, holding everyone to the same standard.

Howe's departure follows a friendly match defeat against Bristol City. He indicated after the game that he had lost influence over transfer dealings, making a comment about the future of player Bruno Guimaraes, who is reportedly a target for Arsenal. Newcastle are now expected to move swiftly to finalise the appointment of Jaissle as their new manager.
