Eddie Howe has reportedly decided to leave Newcastle United after nearly five years in charge, bringing an unexpected end to one of the club's most transformative managerial spells.
The 48-year-old's departure comes just weeks before the new Premier League season and follows two days of discussions with Newcastle's hierarchy. Although the timing surprised supporters, reports suggest Howe had been considering his position for several weeks and ultimately concluded that he had taken the team as far as he could.
