Eddie Howe: podcast appearances and interviews

Edward John Frank Howe, born on 29 November 1977, is an English professional football manager and former player. During his playing career, he was a centre-back who spent most of his time with Bournemouth, progressing through the club's youth system and making a total of eight years with the team before returning for a second three-year spell to conclude his playing career in 2007. Howe transitioned into management in 2008, taking charge of Bournemouth when the club was facing relegation and becoming the youngest manager in the Football League at the time. Under his leadership, Bournemouth avoided relegation in his first season and achieved promotion to League One the following year. After a brief managerial stint at Burnley, Howe returned to Bournemouth and guided the club through two additional promotions in three seasons, elevating them to the top tier of English football. His success at Bournemouth led to him being named Football League Manager of the Decade in 2015. During his tenure, Bournemouth maintained their Premier League status for five seasons before relegation in 2020, after which Howe resigned. At the time, he was noted as the longest-serving manager in the Premier League. After a year away from football, Howe returned in 2021 as head coach of Newcastle United following the club’s takeover. In 2025, he led Newcastle to win the EFL Cup, marking the first major domestic trophy for the club in 70 years.
