Eddie Howe getting one of the 'top jobs' in the country at Newcastle United has represented a 'step forward' for English coaches.
That is according to former England assistant manager Gary Neville after Howe was appointed as Newcastle boss little more than a year ago. Howe is one of just four Englishmen currently managing in the Premier League and the 45-year-old is the sole representative from his country in charge of a side currently in the top six in the top-flight.
With Newcastle flying in third place, Howe will, inevitably, be linked with the England job if Gareth Southgate decides to walk away in the New Year. However, Howe is very happy in his day-to-day role at St James' Park and the 45-year-old only just signed a new long-term deal last summer.
