Newcastle eyes former Premier League winning manager to replace Eddie Howe

After getting knocked out of the FA Cup and with European hopes looking bleak, Eddie Howe is walking on a fine line as he could face the sack if the Magpies fail to reach the European circuit this season. Last season, Newcastle achieved more than anybody expected by qualifying for the Champions League. It was always supposed to be hard for Eddie Howe to replicate that success with other teams getting stronger this season with new reinforcements. The Financial Fair Play restrictions did not allow Newcastle to get new players. And, with the biggest injury crisis Newcastle had in years, this season was never going to be a success for Eddie Howe. Now, the Newcastle board is monitoring the situation and looking for replacements for Eddie Howe who would take Newcastle to the next level. Sources are confirming that Newcastle has found the ideal replacement for Eddie Howe.
