During that time, Howe has transformed the Magpies from relegation candidates to the Champions League with Newcastle United now regular challengers for European places. It has been a pretty remarkable three years for Howe in the north east in a journey that many fans will hope is just the beginning of Howe helping establish Newcastle United as one of England’s top clubs.
There have been plenty of moments of joy during his time on Tyneside with memorable wins, fantastic goals and local rival bragging rights. There have also been difficult moments, but Newcastle have always found a way through them, and that is testament to Howe and his coaching staff.
Here, we take a journey through Howe’s three years in charge of Newcastle United and look at some of the highs (and lows) of his time in the dugout. Have we missed anything? Follow us on our social media channels and let us know there.

45. FA Cup final woes (Manchester United again)
Their hopes of European football were dashed twice by Manchester United in May, however, with Erik ten Hag’s side first defeating them in the league at Old Trafford before they delivered their best performance in years to beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley. Not for the first time, the Magpies have been forced to lick their wounds by the Red Devils. | Getty Images
46. Schar red
30 minutes into the new season and Newcastle United found themselves a man down after Schar’s early red card. However, Joelinton’s strike and some wastefulness from their opponents ensured they would begin the season with a win at home for the third year in a row. | Getty Images
47. Penalty promise
A penalty shootout win wasn’t always guaranteed at Newcastle United but under Howe they have seen a huge improvement in their spot-kick record. Longstaff was the hero at the City Ground to book them a clash against AFC Wimbledon. | Getty Images
48. Penalty disappointment
It hasn’t been perfect from the spot for Newcastle United though, as was highlighted just weeks later when Gordon saw his effort at Goodison Park saved by Jordan Pickford. | Getty Images
