Eddie Howe learns Newcastle United fate following PIF talks

Eddie Howe learns Newcastle United fate following PIF talks

Eddie Howe is set to remain as Newcastle United head coach after meeting with the club’s Saudi owners for talks during the week.

A delegation from the Public Investment Fund (PIF) flew in for a review of the season and sat down with Howe on Thursday.

The 48-year-old has come under increasing pressure amid a disappointing campaign. Newcastle find themselves 13th in the Premier League table after losing 16 games.

Saturday’s 3-1 win over Brighton was their first win in six games in all competitions and snapped a four-match losing streak in the league.

Despite this, Howe will be in charge of the first team heading into the 2026/26 season, according to The Athletic.

The former Bournemouth boss is “keen” to remain in his role and he “retains support from the club’s ownership and hierarchy”.

The talks are described as having “gone well”, but there is acceptance from everyone involved that this season has “not been good enough and cannot be repeated”.
