German Coach Jaissle Set for Newcastle Move

Matthias Jaissle, the 38-year-old German coach, is heading to Newcastle after achieving remarkable success in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ahli. Jaissle arrived in the Saudi Pro League in 2023 as a relatively unknown figure but quickly emerged victorious, clinching major titles and winning over fans at the port city club. wlop.pl

Should the move materialize, Jaissle would replace Eddie Howe at Newcastle, with the German coach being a decade younger than his predecessor. The transition is facilitated by both clubs sharing ownership under the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), with Jaissle leaving Jeddah as a hero and arriving in the north-east as one of the most successful coaches in Asian football history.
