Head coach Eddie Howe looks set to lead Newcastle<\/a> into next season after talks with the club’s Saudi Arabian leadership.<\/p>\n

Howe and the Newcastle<\/a> hierarchy are agreed on the future after their annual summit in Northumberland this week.<\/p>\n

Rather than acting on emotion, Newcastle’s hierarchy have set out to address what has gone wrong with the help of thorough analysis<\/a> as the club look to bounce back following a bruising campaign.<\/p>\n

Howe has been viewed as part of the diagnosis and solution going into an important summer window on Tyneside.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old, who was appointed in November 2021, said on Friday he had faced “difficult questions” as he gave a presentation to the owners and the board.<\/p>\n

Only Wolves<\/a>, Burnley<\/a> and West Ham<\/a> have suffered more defeats than Newcastle<\/a>‘s 16 in the Premier League this season, and there has been a recognition across the board that has not been good enough.<\/p>\n

However, Howe – who ended Newcastle<\/a>‘s 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy by winning the Carabao Cup last season, and qualified for the Champions League in 2025 and 2023 – has also felt the support of those above him this week.<\/p>\n

Other key topics included the sale of star player Alexander Isak to Liverpool<\/a> and the club’s difficulty in replacing a forward who scored 27 goals last season after failing with bids for Hugo Ekitike and Joao Pedro, among others.<\/p>\n

Despite the difficulties, Newcastle<\/a> are five points from a European place, reached the EFL Cup semi-finals and got to the knockout stage of the Champions League for the first time.<\/p>\n

The head coach has been involved in recruitment plans with sporting director Ross Wilson, as Newcastle<\/a> widen their network and make smarter use of data, and the club’s preparations for pre-season.<\/p>\n

Howe said he had to “retain the confidence” he would still be at the club next season, before his side returned to winning ways against Brighton<\/a> on Saturday to end a run of five straight defeats.<\/p>\n

“When you don’t win football matches, there’s a pressure that builds,” he said after the 3-1 victory at St James’ Park. <\/p>\n

“Now, how everyone experiences that is different. For me, I want to do a good job for people. <\/p>\n

“I don’t want to disappoint people. I don’t want to let the supporters down. I don’t want to let the players down. I certainly don’t want to let the owners down.<\/p>\n

“So all those things you are carrying with yourself if you’re not delivering enough success.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Head coach Eddie Howe looks set to lead Newcastle into next season after talks with the club’s Saudi…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564340,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-564339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564339\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
