As if the challenge of a new season was not enough, Newcastle United had a major distraction to contend with as well.

Manager Eddie Howe emerged as one of the leading contenders to take over as England manager and replace Gareth Southgate, who resigned following the Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain.

Howe was among the favourites for the job, along with former Chelsea bosses Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino and Graham Potter.

However, Newcastle chief executive Darren Eales had said that the club would fight to keep Howe, and they succeeded.

The dust seems to have settled now and the team can focus on the new season that begins this weekend.

Newcastle fans heaved a huge sigh of relief as Italy international Sandro Tonali was made available again following his ban for breaching betting rules.

The midfielder has been serving a 10-month ban issued by the Italian federation for betting on teams he played for, which had ruled him out of action since October. An commission also sanctioned Tonali with an extra two-month ban that was suspended until the end of the coming season.

Newcastle received confirmation from Italy's federation that Tonali's sanction will run up to and including August 27. That means Tonali will miss Newcastle's opening two Premier League games, against Southampton and Bournemouth, as well as the League Cup match against Nottingham Forest on August 27.

There was more uplifting news away from the field. Newcastle United saw its valuation jump to over £1 billion after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund increased its holding by buying former owner Amanda Staveley’s stake.

Under the new ownership, Newcastle qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 20 years and reached the finals of the League Cup. However, last season they missed out on European qualification after finishing seventh in the Premier League.

They will be hoping for better showing this season. The Magpies have invested substantially in attracting the best talent and will be keen to see the results match their investments.
