Eddie Howe’s name is back in the spotlight following his departure from Newcastle United, with Manchester United and the England job both previously discussed as potential destinations for the experienced English coach. 👀🔥
Howe officially stepped down as Newcastle head coach on 31 July 2026, ending an almost five-year spell at St James’ Park. During his tenure, he guided Newcastle back into the Champions League and delivered the club’s first major domestic trophy in 70 years by winning the 2025 EFL Cup.
His departure has naturally sparked speculation over what comes next. Manchester United have previously been linked with Howe, while reports after his Newcastle exit also highlighted the England national-team job as another possible destination.
For United, Howe would represent a manager with extensive Premier League experience and a proven record of building teams over several seasons. His Newcastle project included Champions League qualification and a domestic cup triumph before the club’s 12th-place finish in 2025/26.
However, Michael Carrick is currently Manchester United’s head coach, having been appointed permanently after guiding the club to third place in the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel remains England’s head coach for the opening Nations League campaign of 2026/27.
So for now, Howe remains without a club — but with his Premier League pedigree, his next move will certainly attract plenty of attention. 👀🔥
Eddie Howe. Manchester United? England? The next chapter is waiting. 🔴🏴🔥
