Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is set to leave the club with immediate effect, sources have told BBC Sport.
Howe came under pressure last season as Newcastle finished 12th in the Premier League after losing 17 of their 38 games.
The 48-year-old's final match in charge was a 4-1 defeat by Bristol City in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday.
Matthias Jaissle, manager of Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, is expected to be appointed as Howe's successor.
Howe joined Newcastle in November 2021, a month after the Saudi Public Investment Fund bought the club.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is reportedly set to make a shock exit from St James' Park, with Al-Ahli boss Matthias Jaissle lined up to take charge of the Premier League club.
Howe's stunning departure comes less than a month before the start of the new Premier League season and Newcastle have moved quickly to line up German coach Jaissle as his replacement.
Howe is believed to have become disillusioned with Newcastle's transfer policy, while his position was already under scrutiny from the club's Saudi owners after a disappointing campaign last season.
The 48-year-old is said to have told Newcastle's hierarchy that he wanted to quit earlier in July to take a break from football, but he was persuaded to stay on while they identified his successor.
Jaissle would be a surprise choice to replace Howe given his lack of experience at the highest level.

Newcastle United's search for wingers following Anthony Gordon's departure is reportedly taking the club to explore deals for former Premier League players, with an English forward emerging as a new potential target.
Although the Magpies have already strengthened multiple areas of Eddie Howe's squad this summer, including landing a left winger in Bazoumana Toure, Newcastle remains in the market for attacking reinforcements after Gordon's move to Barcelona.
According to TEAMtalk, Newcastle is monitoring Bologna winger Jonathan Rowe, although competition for the 23-year-old Norwich City academy product is growing.
The report claims Manchester United, Aston Villa, Everton and Chelsea have all shown interest in the former Premier League winger, with Newcastle already making preliminary checks over a potential move.
"TEAMtalk understands several Premier League clubs have been monitoring the 23-year-old throughout the summer, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle United all making enquiries into his situation over recent months," the report states.

We asked for your views on the news that manager Eddie Howe is set to leave the club with immediate effect after almost five years in charge.
Here are some of your comments:
Ben: Eddie Howe gave Newcastle its spark back - hauling the club out of the relegation scrap, delivering that unforgettable Champions League return, rebuilding players who looked finished, and serving up some of the most fearless football St James' Park has seen in years. His time was full of graft, pride and proper memories, and whatever comes next, he's earned every bit of respect in Newcastle. Local hero.
Roger: This is a total disaster. For years Eddie Howe has been the cool headed master tactician and inspiration of the club's success. He will be difficult to replace. Right now Newcastle look like a serious relegation prospect.

Arsenal appear to be on the lookout for a defender in the wake of William Saliba's injury setback, and one player who had been linked with a move to London was John Stones.
Stones is out of contract with Manchester City, so he's available as a free agent this summer. But rather than moving to London, it seems the centre-back is set to leave the Premier League for Italy.
James Horncastle and David Ornstein report for The Athletic that Inter Milan are in negotiations to sign Stones, with talks ongoing and hope the transfer can be completed this week.

Matthias Jaissle is the surprise favourite to take over as Newcastle head coach as Eddie Howe's replacement - and would arrive with a strong recent record of success.
Howe, 48, is set to leave St James' Park after nearly five years. He had been in charge since November 2021 when he replaced Steve Bruce and took the Magpies to their first domestic trophy in 70 years by winning the Carabao Cup in 2025.
Former RB Salzburg boss Jaissle, currently in charge of Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli, is noe expected to come in.
The 38-year-old German was a centre-half, progressing through the Stuttgart youth system before playing senior football for Hoffenheim from 2007 to 2014.
He represented Germany at Under-21 level, but was forced to retire through injury at the age of 25.

Once again, Eddie Howe can be bracketed alongside two of Tyneside's favourite faces. This time, however, it is in less enviable fashion. Sir Bobby Robson and Kevin Keegan left Newcastle suddenly in late summers, decisions seemingly taken at the wrong time plunging them into transition and trouble. At least, unlike a couple of distinguished predecessors, Howe has gone before a season has started and not after a few games.
But it is less than four weeks before it begins, following a 4-1 friendly defeat to Bristol City, when it seems the team Howe built is falling apart. Howe was a transformative and a terrific Newcastle manager, but the danger is his five-year reign comes to be the anomaly in their recent history, a period of achievement surrounded by the underachievement.
Howe did something even Robson and Keegan could not and took a trophy to Tyneside: Newcastle's first since 1969, their first in English football in seven decades. Go back 17 months, to the day they won the Carabao Cup, and Howe was asked about getting his own statue at St James' Park. With characteristic modesty, he deflected the questions. Was he, he was asked, a legend? "We don't put ourselves in that bracket," he said. "We will let other people decide that when we are long gone."

Eddie Howe has lost key players Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon already this summer while ******* nal are trying to sign their captain Bruno Guimaraes.
There is obviously a level of frustration from Howe at the direction the club are going in their summer recruitment, though the coach was aware of the necessity for the club to sell players this summer.
Earlier this year, Howe had decided to remain at St James' Park regardless of the inevitably about selling players.
But over the summer, his perspective has changed and he will now be leaving.
In an era of financial regulations, just because you have wealthy owners doesn't mean you can spend big in the transfer window. You have to abide by those rules and that is where Newcastle have come unstuck this summer.

Memories of such a relatively swift transformation were still fresh in the minds of top-flight executives after Newcastle United's Saudi-led buyout in 2021.

Eddie Howe is set to leave his role as Newcastle United manager with immediate effect.
Howe will depart St James' Park after five years in charge, with the decision made this week. The 48-year-old had considered his position last season, but decided to remain on for the upcoming campaign.
However, Howe has now informed the club that he wants to take a break from football after a change of heart.
Howe was appointed as Newcastle manager in November 2021, and led the struggling side to safety. He has since twice guided Newcastle toChampions League qualification, with the club returning to the competition for the first time in two decades, and lifted the League Cup in 2025. That success ended Newcastle's 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy.
However, last season saw Newcastle struggle to replicate recent performances. The Magpies slumped to a 12th-place finish in thePremier League, the lowest of Howe's reign. Newcastle also suffered a humbling Champions League exit to Barcelona, losing 8-2 on aggregate.

Eddie Howe has left his role as Newcastle United head coach following talks with the club's hierarchy, bringing an eventful five-year tenure at St James' Park to an abrupt conclusion.
Sky Sports News understands that discussions between Howe and senior Newcastle figures had been taking place over the previous two days. However, the head coach reportedly began preparing for the possibility of leaving several weeks ago, suggesting this was not simply a reaction to one meeting or disappointing pre-season result.
Newcastle have not yet clarified whether Howe resigned, departed by mutual consent or was effectively sacked. Until an official club statement explains the circumstances, the precise nature of the separation remains uncertain.
Howe continued to perform his duties throughout the period of speculation. He oversaw training, worked with the club's new signings and prepared Newcastle for the 2026/27 Premier League season despite apparently harbouring serious concerns over his position.
That professionalism will be recognised by supporters, even if questions remain over why a manager who delivered one of the most successful periods in Newcastle's recent history has left at such an awkward stage of the summer.

Eddie Howe is leaving his role as Newcastle manager after five years at St James' Park, the BBC and Sky reported on Thursday.
The 48-year-old joined the Magpies in 2021 and won the League Cup final in March 2025 -- the club's first major trophy since 1969.
Newcastle have been depleted by the departures of Sandro Tonali to Tottenham and England forward Anthony Gordon to Barcelona in recent weeks.
The club lost 4-1 to Bristol City in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday.

Newcastle continued their pre-season preparations with a 4-1 defeat at Championship side Bristol City on Wednesday night.
Sam Greenwood's curling free-kick put Bristol City ahead before Lorent Tolaj doubled the Robins' advantage before the half-hour mark.
Shortly after the restart, Max Bird's strike extended their advantage and, despite Harvey Barnes pulling one back, a Sven Botman own goal restored the three-goal cushion in the closing stages.
Ashton Gate - including 3,400 travelling Magpies fans - rose as one to conduct a minute's applause in honour of the late Kevin Keegan in the seventh minute, a nod to the number he wore during a terrific playing career.
"I thought it was a really good test for us," Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said post-match.

If Prince Harry has taught ******* ss Meghan anything over the years, it's how to look on the bright side.
The ******* ss of Sussex, who's been married to the British royal for nearly a decade, opened up about the emotional advice that Harry has given her for navigating life's adversities, while attending a screening Tuesday, July 28, for the couple's Girl Scouts documentary, "Cookie Queens."
According to People magazine, Meghan was asked during a Q&A at the event about how she gets through "tough moments," prompting her to recall a pearl of wisdom Harry had previously shared with her in their marriage.
"Funny enough, I was thinking about something my husband told me ages ago, because we all go through experiences and life is full of surprises," Meghan, 44, said, per People. "But you know, he was a helicopter pilot in the British Army for 10 years. And sometimes on really hard days … he said, 'Hey, but my love, you know, even if there's a storm happening, above the storm, the sun's always shining.'"
Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry tied the knot in May 2018 in an ornate ceremony at Windsor Castle in Harry's native United Kingdom. Only the second time a member of the British monarchy has married an American, the union was met with manic fanfare on both sides of the pond.

Bruno Guimaraes might be closer to a move to **** nal than many expected, as the Gunners continue to push to sign him from Newcastle United this summer.
The Magpies do not want to lose their captain, but at 28, Guimaraes may find it difficult to turn down an opportunity to join a major club like **** nal. The midfielder has reportedly asked Newcastle to allow him to leave as he looks for a new challenge.
Newcastle remains reluctant to sell one of their most important players, but a deal could still be possible if **** nal submits an offer that is too good to reject during this transfer window.
Guimaraes has been in excellent form and has established himself as one of the top midfielders in the world. **** nal believes he can make their squad even stronger and provide the quality needed to compete at the highest level.
The Brazilian also impressed during the World Cup, showing his ability on the international stage. His performances have reinforced the belief that he would be a major addition for the Gunners if they can complete a transfer.

Roberto De Zerbi has told Lucas Bergvall he must show the "right spirit" if he wants to stay at Tottenham amid speculation linking the midfielder with a move away from the club.
The uncertainty comes after Bergvall made his first pre-season start in Spurs' 1-1 draw with Sydney FC on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old endured a challenging 2025-26 campaign, making only 17 starts and frequently playing out of his preferred position. This summer has seen further competition arrive in the centre of midfield with the big-money signings of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.
It is understood that bids from Nottingham Forest and Newcastle for Bergvall this month have been rejected. However, the midfielder could still depart Tottenham before the transfer window closes, driven by his desire for regular first-team football in the upcoming season.
Despite De Zerbi speaking positively about the Swedish international staying at Spurs after the Sydney draw, an element of the unknown persists regarding immediate plans for Bergvall.
