Eddie Howe fully expects to start the season as Newcastle United head coach - even though he's being touted as the next England manager.
Howe is among the frontrunners to succeed Gareth Southgate after he stepped down from the national job following their Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain, but Howe has not yet been been contacted by the Football Association.
Newcastle are determined to hold on to their head coach, who took the club from the Premier League's relegation zone to the Champions League in the space of two seasons after succeeding Steve Bruce in the job in late 2021.
