Jason Tindall will lead Newcastle as Eddie Howe recovers from pneumonia, with Tindall prepared to manage for the remainder of the season if needed. Howe’s return is uncertain, and Newcastle aims to ensure his full recovery before he resumes coaching, especially as they pursue Champions League qualification. Tindall emphasized the importance of maintaining high team standards and confirmed discussions about potential signing of Málaga winger Antonio Cordero, who becomes a free agent in June.
