Odds Slashed on Premier League Boss to Replace Eddie Howe at Newcastle United

Bookies have updated their betting market on Newcastle United's next manager following their latest setback against Manchester United.

Newcastle lost their second league game in three matches following their 1-0 defeat to Man United on Boxing Day.

Eddie Howe's team dominated large spells of Friday's league fixture but departed Old Trafford without a point.

The Magpies haven't won a league game since the start of December when they beat Burnley 2-1 and occupy a spot in the bottom half of the table.

Newcastle lost to Sunderland before surrendering a two-goal lead against Chelsea to draw 2-2 last weekend.

Pressure is mounting on Howe, who is under-fire following a tough campaign this season.

The SportsCasting traders have since compiled a list of odds on who could become the next manager at Newcastle if Howe is relieved of his duties amid the club's struggles.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has the shortest odds of 4/1 to replace Howe, ahead of Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner, who is not planning to extend his existing deal when it expires at the end of the 2025/26 season.

Ex-Barcelona coach Xavi is priced at 11/2 and Ipswich Town's Kieran McKenna has odds of 8/1.

Former Man United manager Erik ten Hag and ex-Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini are among the other names listed.

Eddie Howe: 'I always hold myself accountable'

Newcastle had chances to score against Man United but failed to take any of their opportunities.

Howe lamented Newcastle's first-half showing but was pleased with his side's overall performance even though it ended in a defeat.

"It is a frustrating game," he said after the result. "In the first half it was there for us to grab and we didn’t and I was disappointed with our performance at half-time. Second half was a lot stronger and I thought we dominated the game in terms of possession and chances. It was that elusive first goal... and if we get it the win is there for us."

Howe added: "I always hold myself accountable first and of course then I look at the players as well. I thought the performance was good today. I am not stood here going, 'we were miles off'."
