Eddie Howe has added many achievements to his resumé after less than 12 months in charge of Newcastle United. The Magpies coach and his squad dragged the club clear of relegation, improved the fractured relationship with supporters and oversaw a huge culture change on Tyneside.
The Newcastle players bought into Howe's methods almost immediately and in turn results on the pitch picked up. Individual performances also improved as United won 12 of their final 18 league matches.
Jonjo Shelvey is a player who has had his Newcastle career saved by Howe in recent months. As the midfielder trudged off during the defeat to Tottenham, in the first game under new ownership, many expected his time to be at the club to soon come to an end.
