"Newcastle United reportedly have four managers as potential replacements in mind for Eddie Howe amid the Magpies' poor ongoing form. It's been a tough start to the season for Newcastle, who find themselves in 14th place in the Premier League table after just three wins from their first eleven games. Howe's side are perhaps struggling to balance the added fixtures this season as they're back in the Champions League, where they've been performing quite well."
"The four names who seem likely to be options for NUFC are named as: Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner, Ipswich Town's Kieran McKenna, and former Barcelona boss Xavi. Of those, Xavi is the only one currently out of work and available, so that might make him the most realistic option."
"Overall, however, Howe has surely earned the chance to try to get Newcastle out of their current predicament. The English tactician has done a superb job since taking charge, winning the club's first silverware in decades last season with that Carabao Cup final win over Liverpool. Selling Alexander Isak this summer will only have made things harder for Newcastle, but Howe has surely shown he's well-placed to help steer things back in the right direction."
Newcastle sit 14th in the Premier League after three wins from eleven games while balancing Champions League fixtures where they have performed well. Four managerial candidates are considered: Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner, Ipswich Town's Kieran McKenna, and former Barcelona boss Xavi. Xavi is the only candidate currently available, but his relative inexperience contrasts with Iraola's and Glasner's proven Premier League records. Eddie Howe won the Carabao Cup last season to deliver the club's first silverware in decades and retains credibility. The sale of Alexander Isak this summer has weakened the squad and complicated the current challenge.
