In March 2002, Portsmouth signed Howe for £400,000, making him new manager Harry Redknapp's first signing. Shortly after signing, a knee injury on his debut against Preston North End[10] ended his season.

Managerial career
Early career
In December 2006, at the age of 29, Howe was promoted to the position of player-coach by manager Kevin Bond, and handed the task of coaching Bournemouth's reserve team, though he continued to play in the first team. He retired from football in summer 2007, after he was unable to recover from a knee injury.[12] In September 2008, Howe lost his job when Bond was sacked as manager.[7]
AFC Bournemouth
Howe returned to Bournemouth as a youth coach under
In the start of the 2009–10 season, Howe won eight out of the nine games, a club record. In November 2009, Championship club Peterborough United approached Howe to replace Darren Ferguson as their manager but Howe rejected their approach.[14]
Despite the club's transfer embargo remaining in place for the rest of the season, Bournemouth secured promotion to League One after two years in the fourth tier of English football thanks to a 2–0 away win at Burton Albion on 24 April 2010.[15]
In early 2011, Howe was approached by several other clubs but on 11 January announced that he was staying at Bournemouth.[16] However, on 14 January 2011, Howe became the new Burnley manager after the club agreed a compensation deal with AFC Bournemouth.[17][18] He took charge of his 100th and final Bournemouth match of his first managerial spell with the club, later that day in a 2–1 defeat away to Colchester United.[19]
Burnley
On 16 January 2011, Howe was announced as the new manager of Burnley after signing a three-and-a-half-year contract at the
Return to AFC Bournemouth
In October 2012, he re-joined his former club Bournemouth as manager.[7] He won the League One Manager of the Month for November after guiding the club to three league wins and two draws, as well as an FA Cup victory. On 20 April 2013, he secured promotion to the Championship with Bournemouth finishing runners-up and one point behind champions Doncaster Rovers.[25][26] In the 2013–14 season, Howe's Bournemouth finished tenth in the Championship, six points outside of the play-off positions.[27]
On 19 April 2015, Howe was selected as the
On 27 April 2015, he secured Bournemouth's promotion to the
Howe guided Bournemouth to Premier League survival in their first season in the top flight football, with a 16th-place finish seeing them five points clear of the relegation zone.[32] An even better campaign in 2016–17 saw Bournemouth finish ninth.[33] A year later, he took them to 12th place in the Premier League to secure a fourth consecutive campaign at this level.[34]
Howe's side finished in 14th in the 2018–19 Premier League, but the club's five-year stay in the Premier League ended in 2019–20 after Bournemouth finished in 18th place.[35]
On 1 August 2020, Bournemouth announced that Howe had left the club by mutual consent, after eight years in charge.[36] He became noted at Bournemouth for bringing in young players, improving them, and selling them on at a financial profit.[37]
In May 2021, Howe rejected an offer to become the manager of Celtic.[38] A club statement blamed factors "outwith both his and our control" for the breakdown in their negotiations.[38]
Newcastle United
Howe was appointed to replace Steve Bruce as the manager of Premier League club Newcastle United on 8 November 2021, signing a contract until the summer of 2024.[39] Howe watched from the stands as the club drew 1–1 with Brighton & Hove Albion,[40] in a game in which Graeme Jones was acting as caretaker manager. Jones was retained as first team assistant coach as part of Howe's new coaching staff, which also included Jason Tindall, Stephen Purches and Simon Weatherstone, whom he worked with at Bournemouth, as well as retained Newcastle goalkeeping coach Simon Smith.
His appointment at Newcastle also reunited him with former players at Bournemouth, such as
On 20 April 2022, following a 1–0 victory against Crystal Palace, Howe guided Newcastle to a sixth successive home win, the first time the club had achieved such a feat since 2004 under Sir Bobby Robson.[43] He guided Newcastle to an eleventh place finish in the Premier League after winning twelve in the last 18 games of the season, and made sure Newcastle became the first team in Premier League history to avoid relegation after not winning any of the first 14 games they played.[44] On 5 August 2022, Howe was rewarded with a long-term contract at the club.[45]
On 31 January 2023, Howe guided Newcastle to the EFL Cup final following a 3–1 aggregate victory over Southampton; their first cup final in over 23 years.[46]
On 22 May 2023, following a goalless home draw against Leicester City, Howe guided Newcastle to a top-four finish in the Premier League and qualification for the UEFA Champions League, their first entry into the competition since 2002–03.[47]
In the Champions League, Newcastle United finished bottom of their group with five points, failing to qualify for both the round of 16 and the Europa League,[48] despite beating French Ligue 1 champions Paris-Saint-Germain 4-1 in Newcastle's first home Champions League match in 20 years.[49]
On 6 January 2024, in the third round of
