Howe 'committed' to Newcastle amid England job links

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe says he is "committed" to the club as long as he is "happy and feels supported", after being linked with replacing Gareth Southgate as England manager.

Southgate, who was appointed in 2016, resigned on Tuesday in the wake of England's 2-1 defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

Howe has emerged as a leading contender for the job, although Newcastle chief executive Darren Eales has said the club are determined to keep him.

"It is an unbelievable football club. I’m very, very proud to be the manager," said Howe, who was speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle from the Magpies' training camp in Germany.
