“I Am Who I Am”: Eddie Howe Reveals How Quickly He Shifted Back to Work

Eddie Howe’s success is not a result of luck or mere natural talent.

He has put in relentless effort to reach his current position and shows no intention of slowing down, especially after experiencing triumph with Newcastle’s Carabao Cup victory.

In fact, Howe has already expressed that the win has only fueled his hunger for more success.

Betting against him achieving further milestones would be unwise.

This is the same man who, after being dismissed by Bournemouth, initially planned to take a break but quickly found himself restless.

Instead of remaining idle, he traveled across Europe, shadowing some of the best managers in the game to absorb as much knowledge as possible before returning to the profession.

When asked in this morning’s press conference how long it took him after the cup final to switch back into work mode, his response was hardly surprising.

“Honestly, it was the next day. That’s just how I’m wired, it’s part of who I am. I even tried to convince myself to take a break, but I couldn’t.

The next day, I was already watching the Liverpool game, analyzing our performance, and identifying areas for improvement.

“I was on my own, reviewing the match to see what we needed to work on. I simply can’t change my nature.

I enjoyed watching the game because we played well, and that’s always satisfying. But then, it was straight on to Brentford, analyzing their play and preparing for the next challenge.”

There is no doubt that Eddie Howe is deeply immersed in his work.

While it would be unfair to call him boring, it’s likely difficult to get him to discuss anything other than football.

He often appears slightly uneasy in social settings where others are relaxing and having fun, almost as if he is silently counting down the moments until he can return to his work.

Ultimately, everyone has their own way of functioning.

And let’s be honest—if he continues to bring trophies to Newcastle, he can remain as much of a workaholic as he pleases.

His dedication and drive are precisely what make him such a remarkable manager, and Newcastle fans will surely support him every step of the way.
