The 38-year-old German is Newcastle’s top choice to replace the now former Magpies’ boss Eddie Howe, who is preparing to vacate his position immediately.

A final agreement has not yet been reached, but negotiations are progressing quickly. The parties are expected to iron out the final details of the deal soon.

It’s worth noting that Jaissle is currently in charge of Saudi club Al-Ahli. Previously, he won the Austrian Bundesliga twice with Red Bull Salzburg, and in 2025 and 2026, he led Al-Ahli to back-to-back AFC Elite Champions League titles.
