Jaissle Poised for Newcastle Move

German coach Matthias Jaissle is heading for Newcastle after achieving remarkable success in Saudi Arabia that has eluded many foreign coaches. The 38-year-old, who was almost unknown on his arrival in the Saudi Pro League in 2023, has clinched major titles and won over fans at Al-Ahli.

Should he take the role vacated by Eddie Howe, Jaissle will leave Jeddah as a hero and arrive in the north-east as one of the most successful coaches in Asian football history. It also helps that Al-Ahli and Newcastle share the same Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) owners. chickenroad.qpon
