Newcastle United have appointed Eddie Howe to succeed Steve Bruce as the Premier League club's manager.
Howe, 43, has not been in management since he left Bournemouth in August 2020 following the club's relegation from the top flight.
He watched Newcastle's league draw at Brighton on Saturday from the stands.
The Magpies had approached Villarreal manager Unai Emery to take over as their new boss, but the Spaniard turned them down.
Bruce left Newcastle by mutual consent two weeks ago, just 13 days after the Saudi Arabian-backed £305m takeover of the club was completed.
