Newcastle United appointed German coach Matthias Jaissle as manager on Wednesday following the departure of Eddie Howe, with the 38-year-old joining the squad at its pre-season training camp in La Manga, Spain.
“Newcastle United are delighted to announce the appointment of Matthias Jaissle as the club’s new head coach,” the Premier League club said in a statement.
One of Europe’s leading young coaches, the 38-year-old German arrived on Tyneside following great success with Red Bull Salzburg and Al-Ahli.
Jaissle was previously manager of Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli, leading it to back-to-back AFC Champions League titles.
