Newcastle United have officially confirmed the appointment of Matthias Jaissle as their new manager. The 38-year-old German joins from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli, with the Magpies paying a £9million compensation fee.
Replacing Eddie Howe
Jaissle steps into the role following the shock resignation of Eddie Howe last week. Newcastle had quickly identified Jaissle as their top target to succeed Howe, though the announcement of his appointment was delayed until now.
