On the evening of March 11, Beijing time, the Premier League officially announced the best manager in February, and Eddy Howe, a coach from Newcastle, defeated Klopp, Arteta and Hasenhutelle to successfully win the honor. It is worth mentioning that Eddie Howe is also the sixth coach in Newcastle history to win the Premier League's best coach of the month.
In February, 41-year-old Englishman Eddie Howe led Newcastle to a record of 3 wins and 1 draw. Although Klopp (4 wins) and Arteta (3 wins) have a more obvious advantage, considering the overall strength of the team, Eddy Howe's award is well deserved. In February, Newcastle 3-1 Everton, 1-0 Villa, 2-0 Brentford and 1-1 West Ham United.
In fact, not only in February, Eddie Hau led the team of Newcastle, after entering 2022, it was very strong. In the eight rounds of matches after 2022, Newcastle won 6 wins and 2 draws, earning 20 points, and the five major leagues in the same period were second only to Liverpool and Barca. Coupled with a draw with Manchester United at the end of last year, Newcastle are currently unbeaten in the Premier League for nine rounds, with a 10-point lead over the relegation zone.
As we all know, Newcastle has been injected by the Saudi consortium this season and has suddenly become the new upstart of the Premier League. After Bruce left school, Newcastle quickly found Eddie Howe, who had relegation experience. In the early days of his tenure, Eddie Howe's results were average, with fans worried about whether the club would only be able to compete in the Championship next season.
However, after the winter window opened, Newcastle's acquisition came very quickly. In 31 days, Newcastle spent more than 100 million yuan to complete 5 player transfers, including 4210W signing Brazilian rising star Guimarães. The new card quickly became a force that was not despised in the league.
In a Premier League match in the early hours of the morning, Newcastle showed its tenacity. Facing a similar Southampton, Newcastle won the game 2-1 thanks to goals from two new signings Chris Wood and Guimarães, falling behind 0-1. Today's Newcastles are no longer easily flustered in the game, and they have the capital to break into the top 10 or even higher rankings.
Although Newcastle is currently only 14th, they are only 5 points away from Villa, who are 9th. With 11 games left in the season, it is entirely possible that Newcastle wants to overtake their opponents and enter the top 10. Being able to score in the top 10 this season has basically met the team's expectations, after all, they are too far behind the teams in the front, and the goal of qualifying for European competition is not realistic.
Of course, this summer, Newcastle will definitely show itself. Without having to be distracted from european competition, Newcastle is bound to be able to achieve better results in the league next season. Within three seasons, Newcastle will surely be the premier player in the Premier League for 4.
