Eddie Howe faces Newcastle United dismissal this summer, claims Keys
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is expected to leave St James’ Park this summer following a difficult Premier League campaign, according to broadcaster Richard Keys.
Mounting pressure on Tyneside
The Magpies recently ended a five-match losing streak with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brighton.
That crucial weekend win lifted the Tyneside club to 13th place in the top-flight standings.
However, inconsistent performances throughout the season have led to intense speculation regarding the long-term future of the English head coach.
Behind-the-scenes conversations
Broadcaster Richard Keys claims to have received inside information regarding an impending managerial change.
Speaking on beIN Sports, the presenter suggested that the club’s ownership are preparing to part ways with the former Bournemouth boss.
“I think there’s going to be significant change in the Premier League,” Keys stated.
“I’ve been making a number of calls, and having spoken to a number of high-end sources, I think he’s gone.”
A crossroad for the Magpies
The 46-year-old tactician fundamentally transformed the club following his appointment in November 2021.
He successfully guided the North East side back into the Champions League and led them to their first domestic cup final in decades.
Despite those historic achievements, a challenging current campaign has seemingly brought the present squad cycle to a premature conclusion.
With several high-profile managers expected to be available this summer, Newcastle face a pivotal decision in their ambitious rebuilding project.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that Arsenal are closely monitoring a standout member of the current squad ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
