Eddie Howe is set to leave his role as Newcastle head coach, sources have told ESPN, bringing an end to his five years in charge.
Howe's exit comes just 25 days before Newcastle's first game of the new Premier League season when they host Liverpool at St James' Park on Aug. 23.
Howe has been in place for Newcastle's first three preseason games this summer -- a win over Darlington, a draw with Gateshead and a defeat to Bristol City on Wednesday.
