<p><a href="/biography/eddie-howe">Edward John Frank Howe</a> is the current <a href="/biography/eddie-howe">head coach</a> of Newcastle United. He is an English professional <a href="/biography/eddie-howe">football manager</a> and former player.</p>

<h2>Background</h2>

<p>Eddie Howe was born on November 29, 1977, in Amersham, England. His childhood was spent in England. He completed his schooling education in his homey country of England. He had a humble upbringing and was one of five children of Anne, his mother. He was known as "the shy boy in the corner" and was lucky to have a close and caring family that would teach him life lessons.</p>

<p>Sports Joe asked him about his childhood, "A terrific kid in school, probably too good. I had a tight bond with my sister Rowena, Dan and Charlie, and my younger half-sibling <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Lovell">Steve Lovell</a>. When I look back, we were destitute in terms of money with more understanding and older eyes. Despite that, I never wanted anything. So if I had the chance to go back to my childhood, I would happily do it all again and not change a thing. I had a love of a brilliant mum, the company of brothers and one sister, which you didn't appreciate appropriately at the time, but when you have your siblings around, you watch them, learn from them, develop with them. I had brilliant grandparents too, who made up maybe for what I lacked in terms of a father figure growing up. I consider myself very fortunate to have had that, and I would say the values I got from my family still inform what I do today.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I don't have any bad stories of what I was like at school. I was totally focused, very driven with my work, I wanted to be good, I wanted to be successful, and I was always trying to be as dedicated as possible."</p>

<h2>Football Playing Career</h2>

<p>Eddie started his career as a football player in 1995, and the first match he played was for Bournemouth. He played as a defender in the team. Soon because of his performance, he became an integral part of the team. It was later reported that Eddie was selected for the U-21 squad for the Toulon Tournament.</p>

<p>Eddie told Sports Joe about how he started getting interested in playing football, "With four boys in the family, kicking a ball around makes up my earliest memories. It was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Lovell">Steve</a>, who also became a footballer, and I was passionate about the game. My older brothers fell out of love with it quickly, and my mum would always join us if we needed it. In Amersham and Chesham, cricket was a much bigger sport so I'd play a lot of it too and I enjoyed it. When we moved to Bournemouth, though, there was a greater emphasis on football, which suited me better as I was more passionate about it, so it wasn't a difficult decision when it came time to choose between the two. I joined a football team immediately in Bournemouth, and that was me then. I do sort of kick myself a little because I feel I wasted some good learning by not playing competitively as a younger kid."</p>

<p>Later in 2002, Eddie was signed by Portsmouth. The fee for his contract was 400 thousand Great Britain Pound. The same year, Eddie suffered a knee injury, and it took him almost 18 months to recover. He was not very lucky as he was again injured after the recovery, and that was the end of his career as a player. After taking his retirement from the game, he started working as a coach.</p>

<p>He didn't score a goal during his career as a player because he played as a defender.</p>

<h2>Coaching Career</h2>

<p>Eddie worked as a coach for Bournemouth, and he helped his team in improving their performance exponentially. He taught a lot of new tactics to the group, which eventually helped them push the matches to a sure shot wins.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.sportsjoe.ie/football/story-behind-eddie-howe-making-exceptional-norm-bournemouth-172567" target="_blank">He described the struggles of coaching to Sports Joe</a>, "Fighting to win football matches was a lot easier than fighting to guard our existence as a club. It was an unreal few months in terms of what we had to deal with. We are about - our tenacity, determination, togetherness, the mentality that we can rise above any difficulty with hard work and belief in ourselves - it was shaped then and remains strong. That period was very crucial to everything we have achieved since. We had nothing really and had to give everything. I learned so much in those difficult months, and I wouldn't trade it."</p>

<p>In January 2011, Eddie decided to leave Bournemouth, and he started working for Burnley. He was appointed as a manager there, but Eddie left Burnley within two years. He didn't give any reason for the resignation. During one of the interviews, he just said that he left the team for some personal reason. As soon as he left Burnley, he decided to join Bournemouth once again as a manager. He motivated the team again and led the team to FA Cup.</p>

<p>In 2015, Eddie was honored by the award, Manager of the Decade. Football League Awards sponsored the prize. Eddie's teams played 398 matches under his leadership regarding stats, out of which the team won 183 games, and 82 games resulted in a draw. He commanded a win percentage of 46 percent, which is not very impressive because of his performance in Burnley.</p>

<p>Eddie was also honored by the LMA Manager of the Year award in 2015 and the LMA Championship Manager of the Year in the 2014 season. He reached the mountain of coaching success because of his hard work.</p>

<h2>Personal Life</h2>

<p>Eddie is married to Vicki Howe, and after the marriage, his wife gave birth to two children. Eddie is also a <a href="/biography/eddie-howe">dog lover</a>, and he had a black Labrador in his family. Eddie got the initials of his dog's name tattooed on his wrist after the death of his beloved dog.</p>
