Newcastle United is doing badly right now, losing five of its last seven Premier League games and scoring seven goals while conceding 14. Newcastle had a good run against Everton, but still lost 1-0. On Saturday, once again, they failed to hold onto a late lead and conceded for what ended up a draw against Fulham.
Matthias Jaissle is under a lot of pressure, taking over for the legend Eddie Howe, but Jaissle has not had a good season so far; losing to Everton is not allowed for the Newcastle franchise.
Newcastle’s next four games are Arsenal, Brighton, Man United, and Sunderland. If Jassie loses three of those four, Newcastle definitely should consider moving away from him.
Arne Slot
Arne Slot is a well-experienced manager who managed Liverpool and won the 2024–25 Premier League title. Slot is not managing any club at this time; he was fired by Liverpool in May.
If Newcastle can land Slot as the new manager of the club, that would be a big deal; he is only 48 years old, so he can still coach for years to come. If Slot chooses Newcastle, I hope he makes them a happy club to watch again, and maybe he can win the Premier League as he did at Liverpool.
Newcastle just hopes Slot does not go anywhere else, because Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is under a lot of pressure, and he could get fired, so if Slot wants a better job, United would be the best choice.
Eddie Howe
I know it would be interesting if Eddie Howe were to return to the Newcastle coaching job. Howe said, “I feel that it is in the best interests of both myself and the club to step away, recharge and take a break.” That makes him coming back very unlikely, and if Manchester United also wants him.
Howe stepped down this offseason, managing Newcastle for five seasons. The trophy that Howe brought to Newcastle was the Carabao Cup, their first trophy in 70 years. So if Newcastle really wants him back, they will need to pay him a lot of money.
Newcastle would just need to beat any other teams before he goes to Man United or others like Spurs or maybe even Nottingham Forest.
