Eddie Howe

Eddie Howe is an English football manager currently in charge of Newcastle United, having previously built his reputation with a string of promotions and a Premier League survival at AFC Bournemouth. His net worth is estimated at around £12 million as of 2026, built on a managerial salary reported at roughly £6 million a year at Newcastle.

Early Life & Family

Howe was born on November 29, 1977, in Amersham, England, and progressed through AFC Bournemouth’s youth system as a boy before turning professional at the club.

Rise to Fame

As a player, Howe made over 200 appearances for Bournemouth before moving to Portsmouth in 2002, where two long-term knee injuries limited him to just two appearances across two seasons. He returned to Bournemouth on loan and then permanently, eventually retiring as a player in 2007 to become a youth coach at the club.

Howe was named caretaker manager after Jimmy Quinn’s sacking and was given the permanent job on January 19, 2009, at what was then a League Two club facing a 17-point deduction. He guided Bournemouth to safety and an immediate promotion the following season, launching his managerial career.

Career History

After a spell at Burnley starting in January 2011, Howe returned to Bournemouth in 2012 and led the club on a remarkable rise from League One to the Premier League, where they remained under his management for several seasons. He left Bournemouth in 2020 following relegation, then took over Newcastle United in November 2021.

At Newcastle, backed by the club’s Saudi-backed ownership group, Howe has overseen a significant rise in the team’s fortunes, including a return to European competition and the club’s first major domestic cup final appearance in decades.

How They Built Their Wealth

Howe’s wealth comes from his managerial salaries across Bournemouth, Burnley and now Newcastle United, where his pay was reported at roughly £6 million annually, along with performance bonuses and media and endorsement work tied to his profile as a top-tier Premier League manager.

Personal Life

Howe is married to Vicki Howe, whom he met during his time at Bournemouth; the couple keeps their personal life deliberately private, with Vicki maintaining no public social media presence. They have three sons together, including Harry, born in 2011, and Rocky.

From a knee injury that ended his playing career to leading Newcastle United’s Premier League revival, Eddie Howe has built an estimated £12 million net worth over a manager’s career defined by steady, methodical progress.
