Why it matters
It highlights the high turnover and volatility in modern professional football management and squad composition.
Four months ago, Newcastle and Liverpool fans expected their sides would still be led by Eddie How and Arne Slot when the 2026-27 Premier League season kicked off but both clubs will have new managers in charge when they face off on Sunday.
Howe watched as Sandro Tonali , Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes all made their way out of the club before he eventually stepped down himself on July 30. A year after Alexander Isak forced his way out to join Liverpool, perhaps Howe had seen enough and felt he could do no more with what he would be given. After breaking the Magpies' 70-year trophy drought by winning the 2024-25 League Cup, Newcastle slumped to a 12th-place finish in 2025-26 and that was the end of the road for virtually every key figure at the club.
