Eddie Howe Premier League Manager of the Month award – Another nomination officially confirmed

Eddie Howe has now been officially confirmed as a nomination for the Premier League Manager of the Month award for November and December 2022.

With those two months seeing Newcastle United play four league matches, either side of the World Cup. Winning five and drawing at home to Leeds.

Eddie Howe won his fifth Premier League Manager of the Month award when picking up the October 2022 accolade. Having already previously won in March 2017, January 2018, October 2018 and February 2022 (with NUFC). That fifth award saw Howe go level with the likes of Kevin Keegan (see below).
