Eddie Howe has told Jose Mourinho he’s planning on being Newcastle boss for years.
The Roma boss was this week been tipped for the head coach position at St James’ Park, with influential Spanish daily Marca saying he could be tasked with leading the club into their “next era.” The future of Villarreal coach Unai Emery is also said to be up for discussion and a move back to the Premier League possible. Emery was offered the Toon job before turning it down before Howe landed it, back in November.
But Howe, who is up for manager of the season for turning Newcastle from relegation favourites to a winning machine, has dismissed the link and insists he is planing for the long term on Tyneside.
