The 43-year-old coach has been out of work since the end of the 2019-2020 season, when the Cherries they descended to the Championship (English Second Division).

Howe, who also played for the Glasgow Celtic bench in the summer, has already held talks with the owners of Newcastle United, as published this week by the English press, and he is a serious candidate for the position after rejecting the Emery proposal, which this Wednesday confirmed his continuity on the Villarreal bench.

The Spanish coach seemed the chosen one, but decided to reject the position and stay in Spain, closing the door in this way what would have been his second adventure in the Premier, after briefly directing Arsenal, after the Arsene Wenger era.

The Howe’s great career achievement is having taken Bournemouth in 2009 in the fourth division and achieving promotion to the Premier League in 2015. (D)
