Including the European competition, it was the first championship in 55 years. Newcastle last won the 1968-1969 Intercity Fairs Cup, one of the predecessors of the UEFA Europa Cup. This is the first time that he has won a league cup following four first-division wins and six FA Cups.
A consortium led by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund acquired Newcastle in August 2021 for 305 million pounds (about 571 billion won) and is transforming into a strong team. After four seasons, he finally built up his money.
Howe took the helm of Newcastle in November 2021, after the owner was changed to Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. Newcastle are currently seventh in the EPL (53 points).
However, the difference in points is not large. With two fewer games, he has only four points, which is within range of third-place Nottingham Forest (57 points). However, the yellow light was lit due to Howe's absence.
