Alan Shearer believes Eddie Howe should win Premier League Manager of the Year for his turnaround at Newcastle United.
The Magpies boss made a six-man shortlist for the award, with supporters voting until last week and the winner set to be announced on Tuesday. As well as Howe, Mikel Arteta, Roberto De Zerbi, Unai Emery, Pep Guardiola and Marco Silva were also nominated, with fan votes combined with those of a panel of experts to decide the winner.
And having guided Newcastle to a top-four finish and thus ensuring Champions League qualification at Newcastle just a year after succeeding in the goal of avoiding relegation, the Toon goalscoring legend believes there is only one real winner of the prestigious award.
