Eddie Howe is set to leave Newcastle United with immediate effect, according to BBC Sport — and the man expected to replace him at St James' Park has already been talking about his coaching influences. Matthias Jaissle, in an exclusive interview with GiveMeSport, cited Jürgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel as the two managers who shaped how he thinks about the game. A Klopp/Tuchel disciple means high press, positional aggression, and a squad asked to hurt teams in transition — a meaningful shift from what Howe built.
It was always going to be a difficult moment to time. Howe arrived at Newcastle in November 2021 when the club was 19th in the Premier League table, freshly taken over by the Saudi Public Investment Fund and carrying the weight of every expectation that comes with that kind of money. What followed was a rescue act, then a rebuild, then a Champions League return — the first in nearly two decades. He made Newcastle matter again.
BBC Sport reports that Howe is now set to depart with immediate effect. The club has not issued an official confirmation at the time of writing, and the departure is described as imminent rather than done. Capital Sports also reported the story, citing the BBC — the core claim comes from BBC Sport.
Matthias Jaissle is the name in the frame, per BBC Sport. The German coach is expected to take charge at St James' Park, though again — no official club announcement has been made. What has been made public is Jaissle's own voice on his coaching identity. In an exclusive interview with GiveMeSport, he named Klopp and Tuchel as his primary influences — two managers whose work is defined by high-intensity pressing, positional aggression, and the ability to build squads that can hurt teams in transition.
That is a meaningful contrast with Howe's approach. Howe was pragmatic, organised, and deeply trusted by his players — a manager who built from defensive solidity and grew into the job as the squad improved around him. Jaissle, if the appointment is confirmed, would represent a shift toward something more explicitly system-driven.
Newcastle's current group was assembled with European football in mind — pace in wide areas, press-resistant midfielders, a striker capable of leading a high line. On paper, that profile fits a Klopp or Tuchel framework reasonably well. Whether Jaissle can translate those influences into results in the Premier League — a competition that has swallowed plenty of highly-rated coaches on first contact — is the question the fanbase will be sitting with right now.
Howe leaves having done something genuinely difficult: he changed the culture of a club mid-transformation and kept it pointing upward. The next manager inherits a squad with real quality and real expectations. Jaissle, if confirmed, will not be short of material to work with.
He will, however, be short of time to prove it.
