BREAKING NEWS: Expert identifies the most likely manager to take Eddie Howe’s position at Newcastle.
Eddie Howe might be replaced as Newcastle United‘s manager by Jose Mourinho.
According to former attacker for Liverpool and Aston Villa, Stan Collymore, “it is just a matter of time” until the former Chelsea manager makes a comeback to the Premier League.
After being fired from his managerial position at Roma at the beginning of the year, Mourinho, 61, has been unemployed and is open to accepting a new position.
Eddie Howe’s future at Newcastle is unclear
Collymore believes that Toon fans may soon get to witness “The Special One” in the northeast of England, as rumors over Eddie Howe’s future at Newcastle continue to swirl.
In a rare interview, he stated, “I am not surprised to see his [Howe’s] future under threat.”

“He’s performed well thus far, but as I’ve always stated, the club will start searching for replacements as soon as things start to go south. The Saudi-backed administration is in it to win; they don’t give a damn about how devoted a team’s followers are to a manager because they know that if they can bring in someone new to lead the team to greater heights, the supporters will quickly forget about the previous manager.
“I predicted Julian Naglesmann to succeed Howe about a year ago, and while the German manager of Germany’s national side may yet get into the hot seat at St. James’ Park, it seems unlikely.
As a result, I wouldn’t be shocked if Jose Mourinho emerged as the front-runner to take over for Howe. I fully anticipate that “The Special One” will begin to appear on Monday Night Football on Sky Sports and discuss his potential comeback to the Premier League. He would seize the chance since he is aware of how big Newcastle is as a team and that he will return to the hilt.
Will Jose Mourinho desire the position at Newcastle?
Howe has averaged 1.70 points per game in his tenure with the Magpies, which is respectable given the squad he took over when Steve Bruce was fired at the conclusion of 2021. But it makes sense that Mourinho, who is 61 years old, would be a desirable option given his record, which is significantly better than the former Bournemouth manager’s, particularly in Europe.
Therefore, Collymore continued to forecast the potential impact of super agent Jorge Mendes on the selection of Mourinho’s next team. Mendes’ close relationship with Saudi officials and his representation of him as an agent suggest that it’s only a matter of time before Mendes’ top managerial client ends up at one of the Middle East’s affiliated clubs. While this could result in Mourinho managing in the Pro League, Collymore believes that Mourinho will soon be back in the northeast.
