Radical decision! Eddie Howe's future at Newcastle in serious doubt

Everything will depend on how the season finishes.

Details: According to the Daily Mail, a meeting took place just days ago between Newcastle's management and 48-year-old head coach Eddie Howe, where both sides discussed the club's future direction and transfer strategy for the upcoming summer window.

Sources claim Howe could leave Newcastle at the end of the season if the team fails to qualify for European competitions. It's reported that the board told Howe the current budget doesn't allow for significant squad strengthening, especially amid rumors of key players leaving. However, if Newcastle manages to secure a Champions League spot for next season, the situation would change dramatically.

Howe was reportedly deeply unhappy with this stance, which has made him seriously consider his future if the club's targets are not achieved.

Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle in 2021. Since then, he has managed the Magpies in 224 matches, recording 114 wins, 42 draws, and 68 defeats.

Currently, Newcastle sits 12th in the Premier League after 31 rounds, having collected 42 points.
