Eddie Howe To Decide Newcastle Football Director
Eddie Howe Newcastle Manager will have a say on the decision making as to who will be appointed director of football in the Club.
Howe will be given an input into Newcastle's appointment of a new director of football in an unusual move which indicates the manager could have a long-term future at St James' Park.
Newcastle's search is being led by head of recruitment Steve Nickson, alongside specialist sport head-hunters Nolan Partners.
But Howe will also be consulted as the club's owners are eager to appoint someone he is comfortable working with.
The appointment is not regarded as Newcastle's immediate priority, however, and is not expected to be completed before the end of the January transfer window.
