Breaking: The famous Premier League manager has become the first to leave his post despite the season not yet starting, following poor results.
On 30 July 2026, BBC Sport reported that Eddie Howe, Newcastle United's manager, immediately resigned amid pressure after last season's poor showing, where the team finished 12th in the Premier League, losing 17 out of 38 matches.
His final match in charge was a pre-season friendly on the night of 29 July 2026, where Newcastle suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat to Bristol City, who placed 12th in the Championship.
Howe took over as manager from Steve Bruce in November 2021 and led Newcastle to win the Carabao Cup in 2025, ending a 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy.
Additionally, he guided the "Magpies" to qualify for the UEFA Champions League twice, in 2023 and 2025.
