Pundit and former Manchester United captain Roy Keane believes Eddie Howe has restored the ‘feel-good’ factor at Newcastle United since his appointment in November 2021. Howe arrived at St James’ Park with the Magpies rooted to the foot of the table but inspired them to 12 wins from their final 19 games (D2 L5) to propel them into 11th place.
He also oversaw their first transfer window under the new ownership, with the signings of Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn, Bruno Guimaraes and Chris Wood, along with Matt Targett on loan, providing them with an incredible boost.
The Newcastle boss has added defensive reinforcements in the shape of England goalkeeper Nick Pope and Dutch defender Sven Botman this summer, while Targett’s loan has been converted into a permanent deal.
