Newcastle appoint ex-Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe after Bruce exit | Football News – Times of India

Howe, 43, has been out of a job since he left Bournemouth in August 2020 after the south-coast club were relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the season.
“It is a great honour to become head coach of a club with the stature and history of Newcastle United. It is a very proud day for me and my family,” Howe said.
“This is a wonderful opportunity, but there is also a lot of work ahead of us and I am eager to get onto the training ground to start working with the players.”
Graeme Jones was interim manager for the last three games after Bruce left following a takeover of the club by a consortium 80%-led by Saudi Arabia’s PIF sovereign wealth fund.
Howe was in the stands for the 1-1 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday. His first game in charge will follow the international break when Brentford visit St James’ Park on Nov. 20.
Newcastle are second-bottom of the standings with five points from 11 games, five points adrift of the safety zone, having failed to win a league game so far this season.
