Career
Eddie Howe began his professional career as a centre-back, emerging through AFC Bournemouth’s youth system. After several years at Bournemouth, Howe had a short spell with Portsmouth but then returned to Bournemouth, where he spent most of his playing career.
In 2008, Howe took over as manager of Bournemouth and quickly made his mark, leading the club from the lower divisions to the Premier League in 2015.
His tactical intelligence, focus on youth development and ability to manage a modest budget have earned him widespread recognition. Under his guidance, The Cherries remained competitive in the Premier League for five years, a remarkable achievement given the club’s limited resources.
Following Bournemouth’s relegation in 2020, Howe briefly stepped away from management but returned in November 2021 as head coach of Newcastle United. Under his leadership, Newcastle has undergone a transformation, finishing in the top 4 in the 2022/23 season. His impressive management style, ability to motivate players and strong tactical strategy have cemented his status as a top manager in the Premier League.
