Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe looks set to lead the Magpies into next season after constructive talks with the club’s Saudi Arabian leadership group.
The parties are said to have agreed on the boss' future, despite an under-par campaign, following their annual summit in Northumberland this week.
The 48-year-old, who took charge of the club in November 2021, said in his pre-match news conference that he had faced "difficult questions" from the owners and the board.
With only already-relegated Wolves and Burnley, plus relegation-fighting West Ham, suffering more defeats than Newcastle’s 16 in the Premier League this season, it is understandable why there is growing pressure on the English head coach.
Despite the difficulties, the Magpies are still in with a chance of a European place, they reached the Carabao Cup semi-finals and they got to the Champions League knockout stage for the very first time.
"I want to do a good job for people," Howe said in the aftermath of Newcastle’s 3-1 victory over Brighton on Saturday.
"I don't want to let the supporters down. I don't want to let the players down. I certainly don't want to let the owners down."
So, how do feel about this news? Is Howe the right person to lead the club moving forward?
