Eddie Howe has left Leeds United’s rivals Newcastle United after seven years in charge - and it’s led to changes in the relegation odds for the new Premier League season.
Howe, 48, had been in charge of the Magpies since November 2021 and it was expected that he would stay at the helm despite a disappointing 2025-26 Premier League campaign in which the Magpies finished just two points above newly-promoted Leeds.
David Ornstein, though, exclusively reported on Thursday morning that Howe was set to leave the club and his departure has since been announced by Sky Sports. The club have reportedly lined up 38-year-old Matthias Jaissle of Al Ahli as his replacement.
Newcastle finished last season in 12th place, just two points and two positions above Leeds with their solid 14th-placed finish on their Premier League return. But Howe’s exit is already leading to big changes in the next season general relegation odds from the bookies who are also making a big Sunderland call.
Here is a run through the very latest relegation odds at the general prices across the board and predicted final Premier League table based on those odds.
