Newcastle United have confirmed the appointment of Matthias Jaissle as their new head coach following the departure of Eddie Howe. The 38-year-old German arrives from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli, where he enjoyed considerable success, and has already joined the squad at their pre-season training camp in Spain as preparations continue for the new Premier League season.
Jaissle built a strong reputation during spells with Red Bull Salzburg and Al-Ahli, earning praise for his high-intensity pressing style and attacking approach to football. Speaking after his appointment, he described joining Newcastle as an “incredible honour” and said he is eager to build on the foundation laid by Howe, who ended the club’s 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy before leaving this summer.
The new coach takes charge at a challenging time, with Newcastle looking to recover from a disappointing league campaign and the departures of several key players. Club officials said Jaissle’s progressive football philosophy and track record of developing teams made him the ideal choice to lead the Magpies into a new era, with his first Premier League match set to come against defending champions Liverpool later this month.
