Eddie Howe has insisted he will remain as Newcastle United manager despite a disappointing end to the season. The Magpies suffered a 2-0 defeat at Fulham on Sunday, finishing 12th in the Premier League and missing out on European qualification.
Goals from Issa Diop and Tom Cairney sealed Newcastle's fate at Craven Cottage. The loss marked the club's lowest finish under Howe, who took over in November 2021 and previously led them to 11th, 4th, 7th, and 5th-place finishes, as well as winning the Carabao Cup last season.
Speaking to Chronicle Live, Howe said: 'My commitment has never wavered from day one to today. Regardless of who it is, unity running through a football club is important from top to bottom. You need that togetherness and that plan.' He added that reflection and analysis are key to improvement.
Newcastle co-owner Jamie Reuben also addressed the campaign on social media, calling it 'underwhelming' despite some memorable Champions League moments. He pledged that the ownership, coaching staff, and players would work tirelessly over the summer to advance the club's project and come back stronger.
