- Howe among frontrunners to replace Gareth Southgate
- He wants assurances of autonomy from club’s hierarchy
Eddie Howe has opened the door to a potential approach from the Football Association regarding the England manager’s vacancy by warning Newcastle’s revamped hierarchy that he could reconsider his future there if they fail to offer him sufficient autonomy.
Speaking at Newcastle’s pre-season training camp in southern Germany, Howe insisted he had a “burning desire” to lead the club to a trophy, but he also flexed his muscles sufficiently to suggest that, if the right “boundaries” are not established in a role he has held at St James’ Park since November 2021, he could be receptive to overtures from the FA should it deem him the right man to replace Gareth Southgate.
