Newcastle United has decided to keep Eddie Howe as the team's head coach for the next season, amidst previous speculations about his future following the team's recent decline in performance.

According to "The Athletic" network, Eddie Howe will continue to lead Newcastle next season, barring any unexpected developments. The 48-year-old coach is expected to take charge in the 2026/2027 season, as he wishes to remain at St. James' Park, alongside the support he receives from the club's owners and management.

The report indicated that this move came after internal discussions within the club this week, which included a delegation of 25 people from the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the largest owner of Newcastle United, as part of the annual series of meetings.

During the talks, it was agreed that this season was not good enough and should not be repeated. However, the discussions concluded with a clear consensus on the future of Eddie Howe, as the meetings were deemed positive and resulted in support for the coach's continuation.

Despite the decline in results this season, reports indicated that Newcastle's management succeeded during Howe's tenure in achieving significant accomplishments, most notably the repeated qualification for the UEFA Champions League.
