The Newcastle relegation odds have slashed dramatically after Eddie Howe called time on his spell as Magpies boss, BetVictor News can confirm.
Howe is set to leave his role in the North East after five years in charge. The former Bournemouth manager is likely to be replaced by relative-unknown Matthias Jaissle. The 38-year-old German is currently in charge of Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli – who are owned by the Public Investment Fund which bankrolls the Toon Army.
Newcastle Relegation Odds: Magpies Slashed From 50/1 To 8/1
Here at BetVictor News, our traders have revealed that the Newcastle relegation odds have been cut from a staggering 50/1 down to 8’s. The Magpies were priced at 50/1 shortly after the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign.
After losing Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and missing out on Johan Manzambi, the odds shortened considerably. And once it was confirmed that Eddie Howe was the next one out of the door at St James’ Park, the 2026-27 Premier League relegation odds continued to tumble.
Who Is Incoming Newcastle Boss Matthias Jaissle?
After the surprising exit of Eddie Howe – who is the second favourite in the next England manager odds market – many Newcastle fans will be wondering what they can expect from Matthias Jaissle. Naturally, many will be slightly concerned owing to his low profile.
Born in Germany in 1988, Jaissle actually has a strong CV and glowing reputation. So far in his managerial career, the 38-year-old has won two Austrian Bundesliga title and the Austrian Cup with Red Bull Salzburg. He has also won three major honours with current employers Al-Ahli.
In terms of what Magpies fans can expect on the pitch, Jaissle typically adopts an attacking and high intensity approach. He is known to encourage aggressive pressing and often stresses the importance of maintaining high levels of fitness and tactical discipline. A 4-2-3-1 formation is his preferred lineup.
Who Have Newcastle Signed In 2026-27?
After a glorious five-year spell in the North East which brought the club’s first major trophy in 70 years (2025 League Cup) and two campaigns in the Champions League, Eddie Howe called time on his stint in the dugout after Newcastle were thrashed by Bristol City in pre-season.
Much of his frustrations not only came with losing Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, but missing out on his own targets in previous windows. The latest of which was Johan Manzambi who chose Aston Villa over the Magpies earlier this month. However, Howe was able to draft in goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen, midfielders Sean Steur and Aladji Bamba as well as left-winger Bazoumana Toure.
