Eddie Howe is gearing up for his first pre-season in charge of Newcastle United after an impressive campaign last time out. It took the Magpies until December to win their first game of the Premier League season, but after the turn of the year, Howe transformed the Toon into a side capable of mixing it with the best in the division.
A pre-season clip from his time as Bournemouth boss, offers a brilliant insight into the work that's currently taking place behind the scenes as he prepares for the players return. On the Cherries official YouTube channel, there's a ten minute clip from a warm weather training camp in La Manga showing the Bournemouth players being put through their paces.
Newcastle's Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson both know what to expect this summer having worked under Howe before, but for the rest of the group, it's a new challenge. The Cherries begin their work with some fitness tests including the dreaded bleep test before Howe outlines the rest of the session.
