Howe Stands Firm: ‘I’m the Right Man for Newcastle
Howe / Newcastle Head coach

Eddie Howe has insisted he’s the right man to lead Newcastle United despite a recent slump, saying he’d only step down if he felt he couldn’t give the club what they need. The Magpies have won just one of their last eight games, sparking criticism from fans who’d expected more after their Carabao Cup triumph last season.

Howe, who took charge in November 2021, has transformed Newcastle, guiding them to Champions League football twice and winning their first major trophy in 70 years. He attributes his confidence to experience, drawing on past tough times to help the team recover. “If there was doubt, I wouldn’t be – because the club is the most important thing,” Howe said.

Newcastle’s struggles are partly due to injuries, including key striker Alexander Isak’s departure to Liverpool. The club’s schedule hasn’t helped, with seven games in 21 days looming. Despite this, Howe retains the backing of Newcastle’s hierarchy, who believe he can turn things around. Howe’s focus is on protecting his players’ confidence, acknowledging the team’s current form isn’t reflective of their potential. With upcoming fixtures against Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Manchester City, Newcastle needs a spark to regain momentum.
