Newcastle United have appointed Matthias Jaissle as their new head coach following Eddie Howe’s resignation. The German manager takes charge at St James’ Park as Howe’s successor.
Jaissle has agreed a four-year contract with Newcastle. His appointment marks a move from Saudi side Al Ahli, with the Premier League club paying £9.5m in compensation to secure his services.
The agreement makes Jaissle the latest manager tasked with leading Newcastle after Howe’s departure. Details of his first match in charge were not included in the available report.
