Newcastle United has handed manager Eddie Howe a new-long term contract, the club confirmed. This comes less than a year after the English manager joined the club. The details of the new deal have not been disclosed.
“It’s a great feeling to commit my future to this incredible club,” Howe exclaimed. “We are still at the start of our journey, but this is an exciting time to be a part of Newcastle United and I’m very excited about the future together.”
Howe was appointed Newcastle United manager in November last year, at a time when the club was yet to win a Premier League game and facing a relegation battle. Since taking charge, Howe turned the Magpies’ season around, guiding them to an 11th place finish 14 points clear of the relegation zone.
Following a Saudi Arabia-backed takeover, Newcastle became the wealthiest club in the Premier League. Howe and his team made use of the team’s new funds to bring in a whole host of new signings during the January transfer window. Still, the club cannot spend excessive funds over the short term due to UEFA’s financial rules, Howe warned.
