Who are the top candidates to replace Eddie Howe at Newcastle?
With Eddie Howe potentially eyeing the England job, Newcastle United is preparing for a managerial shift. Here are the top three candidates poised to take the helm at St James' Park.
If Eddie Howe departs, Mauricio Pochettino is a frontrunner for the Newcastle job. The 52-year-old Argentine, who recently parted ways with Chelsea, brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record in the Premier League.

Thomas Tuchel, currently without a club, is another top candidate. The German manager, known for his tactical brilliance and high-pressing style, has an impressive resume that includes a Champions League triumph with Chelsea.

Zinedine Zidane, the legendary French manager, has been linked with a move to Newcastle, particularly if the club's owners, PIF, acquire Marseille. Zidane, out of work since leaving Real Madrid, brings a winning mentality and an illustrious managerial record.
