Who is the Newcastle manager?

Edward John Frank Howe, commonly known as Eddie Howe, is the current Newcastle United manager.

He is the 33rd permanent manager in Newcastle United Football Club's history and has held the reigns since Monday, 8th November 2021.

Who did Eddie Howe manage before Newcastle?

Howe's first permanent managerial post was at his boyhood club AFC Bournemouth. He managed Bournemouth from Wednesday, 19th January 2009 until Friday, 14th January 2011, when he left to take charge at Burnley of The Championship.

Howe was officially announced as Burnley's manager on Sunday, 16th January 2011, and was in charge at Turf Moor for a little over 18 months, until Friday, 12th October 2012, leaving to return to League One Bournemouth due to what he described as "personal reasons".

His second stint as Bournemouth manager lasted almost eight years, from Friday, 12th October 2012, until Saturday, 1st August 2020. He secured promotion to The Championship on Saturday, 20th April 2013, and miraculously led Bournemouth to the Premier League on Saturday, 15th May 2015.

Bournemouth remained in the Premier League until the end of the 2019/2020 season, a spell of five years, but were relegated on Sunday, 26th July 2020 after an 18th-place finish. Howe departed "by mutual consent" less than a week later and was out of football for over one year until taking the Newcastle job.

Here's Howe's full managerial record, as of Wednesday, 5th July 2023:

Statistically speaking, Chris Hughton stands as the most successful gaffer in club history, boasting a victory rate of 59.38%.

Joe Harvey holds the title of our most successful manager, though, having claimed five pieces of silverware (though four were lesser accolades), and also the lengthiest continuous stint, lasting for thirteen years from 1962 to 1975.

The longest tenure of service was held by Stan Seymour, who had three separate periods at the helm from 1939 to 1958, managing NUFC for nearly fourteen years in total.

Bar Tom Mather, Norman Smith, and Osvaldo Ardiles, all of the club's managers have led the team in the top-flight of English football.
