Eddie Howie has been appointed as Newcastle United's new manager.

The English manager was in the stands when the Magpies played a 1-1 draw with Brighton at the American Amex Stadium.

The 43-year-old managed Bournemouth for eight years and managed to lead them from the Championship into the top-flight division before he was sent packing in 2020.

"We are delighted to confirm the appointment of Eddie Howe as the club’s new head coach," Newcastle confirmed the appointment in a tweet.

"Welcome to Newcastle United, Eddie," the club added.

Howe has a lot in his hands to accomplish as the Toon Army are yet to record a league win in all of their 11 matches this season.

And as the English league goes on a break for the World Cup qualifiers, Howe's first match in charge will be against Brentford at St, James' Park.

The Englishman is expected to assess the team and suggest new signings for the club who are ready to splash the cash during the January transfer window.

He will be succeeding the legendary Steve Bruce who was sacked after failing to register a win before the takeover from a Saudi Arabian multi-billion pound firm.
