Eddie Howe was in no doubt when asked if he would replace Gareth Southgate as England manager

Eddie Howe spoke out on reports linking him with the England job.

Eddie Howe says he has 'unwavering' commitment to Newcastle United amid reports linking him with the England job following Gareth Southgate's resignation.

England are looking for a new manager after Southgate walked away from his position just days after their Euro 2024 final heartbreak to Spain.

Several names have since been linked with the England gig, including Premier League boss Howe, who has been backed by Jamie Carragher to succeed Southgate.

However, Howe insists he is fully committed to Newcastle as long as he's supported by the club.

Asked about rumours tipping him to replace Southgate, the 46-year-old replied: "It's been a strange one for me because I've been absolutely cut off from it.

"Fortunately, I'm out here [in Germany]. So, it's only through a mobile phone or someone telling me something that you hear about it.

"My commitment to Newcastle is unwavering and it has been since I came to the football club. As long as I have certain things for me - as in I'm happy, I'm allowed to work in the way I need to work in order to get the best out of me and I feel supported - then that will never change."

Howe has been in charge of the Magpies since November 2021 and led the club to Champions League qualification in the 2022/23 campaign.

And ahead of the new season, there have been some major changes at boardroom level, which includes Paul Mitchell being appointed as new sporting director and the departure of Amanda Staveley, who sold her share in the club last week.

Asked if he feels supported at Newcastle, Howe said: "There's been so much change that we need a period of time to know how we're all going to work and set the boundaries.

"It's for the benefit of Newcastle, not for the benefit of me because the club's the most important thing in all of this.

"England is not important at all. It's all about Newcastle United Football Club. I'm so proud to be the manager. I've loved every single second of managing the club since I've been here, I feel passionately about bringing success here long-term.

"I feel I have such a special relationship with [the Newcastle fans]. I can't thank them enough for how they've welcomed me to the football club, how they have then supported the football club and me in good and bad moments.

"I'm fiercely determined to win a trophy for them, I hope we're able to achieve our objectives together."
