May 16th, Daily Mail reported that Newcastle coach Eddie Howe is on the list of England's future coach selection.

reported that Eddie Howe's name will definitely become the focus of Ashworth's selection of the next England coach. The former Newcastle sports director was appointed as the first chief football officer by the FA this week, fully managing the strategic affairs of the men's and women's national football team. One of Ashworth's first tasks after taking office was to work with CEO Mark Bringham and technical director John McDermott to develop a succession plan after the Tuchel World Cup. According to the Post, Ashworth proposed Eddie Howe to replace Tenhach during his brief tenure at Manchester United, and this time he is likely to recommend the Newcastle coach again.

There are rumors that Ashworth's relationship with Eddie Howe worsened last year due to his unpleasant departure, but that was not the case. Eddie Howe maintained respect for Ashworth, because the latter did not rashly change the team's effective operating model after taking office. The Magpie coach also appreciates his objective and neutral attitude towards things and excellent interpersonal skills both internally and externally.

Although Ashworth never entered Eddie Howe's core circle at the training base, the mutual respect and understanding between the two sides have brought the team success on the field. Therefore, when the FA will start the selection of Tuchel's successor next year, Newcastle needs to prepare for the head coach being poached. Of course, if England performs well in the World Cup, Tuchel may still renew his contract.

Eddie Howe had an affair with England coach last summer, but at the age of 47, he is more inclined to continue coaching the club and enjoy the working mode of spending time with players. This position will not change in the short term, but Ashworth's new position almost ensures that the Newcastle coach will be on the shortlist by then.
