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.
49. Blues double-header
In possibly the lowest point during Howe’s three years in charge, Newcastle United found themselves hosting Chelsea in the Carabao Cup in very poor form and having just been defeated by the Blues three days earlier. However, a change in formation and personnel inspired a win and a wave of momentum they are still riding. | Getty Images
50. Arsenal downed - again
Slightly less controversial than their win a year previous but Arteta’s side were beaten at St James’ Park for the third time in four seasons. Isak’s brilliant header made the difference. | Getty Images
51. Joeliton rebirth v.III
There’s probably still many more transformations left inside Joelinton but he now operates as a right-winger. He’s also been seen at wing-back when required. | Getty Images
