Eddie Howe is expected to leave his role as Newcastle head coach less than a month before the start of the Premier League season.<\/p>\n

Howe\u2019s impending departure was reported by outlets including the BBC and the Press Association on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He has been in charge of Newcastle for nearly five years and during that time ended the Saudi-backed club\u2019s decades-long wait for silverware.<\/p>\n

Howe took charge of Newcastle\u2019s 4-1 preseason friendly loss to Bristol City on Wednesday, which may have been a pointer to a difficult campaign ahead following departures of star players this summer.<\/p>\n

Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali have left during this transfer window and there is speculation captain Bruno Guimaraes could follow.<\/p>\n

Last year Newcastle sold top scorer Alexander Isak, finished the season in 12th and missed out on Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n

Despite being bought by Saudi Arabia\u2019s sovereign wealth fund in 2021, Newcastle has not been able to emulate the Abu Dhabi-backed Manchester City or Qatar-backed Paris Saint-Germain and become a dominant force in European soccer.<\/p>\n

Howe, who was hired in November 2021, twice led the club to Champions League qualification and won the English League Cup last year to end the club\u2019s 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy.<\/p>\n

But financial rules have restricted Newcastle\u2019s Saudi backers from spending as lavishly as City and PSG and, instead, it has had to sell top players to reinvest in the squad.<\/p>\n
