Speculation has emerged linking former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho with the managerial position at Newcastle United. The rumors suggest the club's new ownership could consider a change from current boss Eddie Howe.
As of mid-April 2026, Eddie Howe remains in charge of Newcastle United. The club has made no official statement regarding his dismissal or any approach for Jose Mourinho. Such managerial rumors are common in the football media, especially for clubs with ambitious ownership.
Jose Mourinho, currently without a club after his departure from AS Roma in January 2024, is frequently mentioned in connection with high-profile jobs. His potential return to the Premier League, where he has won multiple titles, is a recurring media narrative. For now, these reports remain unsubstantiated by the clubs or individuals involved.
