Eddie Howe took Bournemouth from Championship to the English Premier League for the first time in their history and kept them in the league for five seasons

Newcastle have contacted former Bournemouth manager, Eddie Howe, over the possibility of replacing Steve Bruce who was sacked recently.
The club’s former English owner, Mike Ashley, recently sold the club to the new Saudi owners.
Eddie Howe left Bournemouth in 2020 after they were relegated. The English man also has the record of qualifying the club for Premier League for the first time in their history.
According to SkySPorts, Newcastle are now considering giving Eddie Howe the job, after Villarreal manager, Unai Emery, rejected the opportunity to coach the club.
The Spanish coach, who had a stint in the English Premier League with Arsenal, opted to stay with the yellow submarines, rather than a chance to move to St James’ Park.
Eddie Howe has held talks with Newcastle’s new owners in the past fortnight. Before now, he turned down an opportunity to manage Scottish club, Celtic, after Neil Lennon left at the beginning of the year.
Other managers being considered are Chelsea legend and former manager Frank Lampard, Belgium coach, Roberto Martinez, and former Roma coach, Paulo Fonseca.
