Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe recently spoke with Gary Neville about tactics and his ambition to turn his team into title contenders following their takeover in 2022. Despite facing injuries and coming up short in this season’s competition, there is optimism for the future with some promising players like Bruno Guimaraes. Howe openly admitted that he looks to Manchester City for inspiration, acknowledging the Premier League champions’ success and talent-based approach.

Manchester City, under the management of Pep Guardiola, are currently competing for the Premier League title against Arsenal and have an FA Cup final against Manchester United on the horizon. City’s success and style of play have made them the benchmark for other teams to aspire to, with Howe confessing that he tries to incorporate elements of City’s tactics into his own team. City’s dominance in England and Europe has led to other managers studying and emulating their strategies to improve their own performance.

City’s innovative tactics such as playing out from the back, using inverted full-backs, and experimenting with player positions have influenced football at all levels. Pep Guardiola’s success has inspired fellow managers like Howe to adapt and evolve their own coaching methods to keep up with the changing demands of the game. As City continue to set the standard in modern football, it is not surprising that Howe and others are looking to learn from their achievements in pursuit of success with their own teams.
