Newcastle United hire Eddie Howe as manager
43-year-old becomes Newcastle United manager until 2024, club confirms
By Can Erozden
ANKARA (AA) - Newcastle United on Monday appointed Eddie Howe as the English Premier League football club's senior team manager in the wake of Steve Bruce's departure last month.
"Newcastle United are delighted to confirm the appointment of Eddie Howe as the club's new head coach on a contract until summer 2024," it said in a statement.
Bruce left Newcastle United on Oct. 20, days after the club was bought by Saudi Arabian state’s sovereign wealth fund.
"It is a great honour to become head coach of a club with the stature and history of Newcastle United. It is a very proud day for me and my family," said Howe.
"This is a wonderful opportunity, but there is also a lot of work ahead of us and I am eager to get onto the training ground to start working with the players," he added, thanking the club owners for this opportunity.
Howe, 43, coached Bournemouth in 2012-2020, but left after they were relegated to the second-tier Championship division.
With Howe at the helm, Bournemouth played in the Premier League between 2015 and 2020.
This season Newcastle United racked up five points in 11 matches to rank 19th among 20 Premier League teams.
